Well, I mean, I also don't plan on quitting completely, for the rest of my life. My goal is to stop smoking every day, but still have a few on the weekends or then I am drinking. I know for a fact that regardless of if I quit or not right now, the first moment I end up in Russia I'll start at it again. Its all based on will power, a good friend of mine has quit in the same way as "Bob Marley" about 3 years ago and its working out fine for him.

lol ok I still don't get it.
It sounds as if you are cutting back, not quiting,
even though you keep saying the word quit.

That's funny. I just imagined someone
running and dragging an oxygen tank.

You are a weakling. How can you live with yourself? It's really simple...just stop reaching for the cig pack. There is no need to make a whole thread.
The same goes for the fat asses that are trying to lose weight...Just close ur mouths more often and exercise. No need to consult a physician or dietician.

People make things so complicated some times.

If it was that easy I would have already quit, I made this thread to get people to share their experience with me, plus boost the activity a little bit (battleforums needs every bit it can get). The question really is, why are you posting here?

I take it QuikSilver has no personal experiences with any sort
of addiction. I wouldn't bother listening to him, Uncle Vanya.

yes , i have had no problems with addictions...Because I wasn't stupid enough to get hooked on anything.

If I was though, I assure you that Id quit on the fuckin spot. Especially if it meant taking care of my health. You see, if it was heroin, it is a different story. You can't just stop cold turkey because your body will go through serious side effects.
With cigs, all you need to do is cut it off for the first few days....then it all becomes mental will power.

You are a grown man and this is your health you are dealing with. So cope with your addiction accordingly...Im sorry if I came off as abraisive, but I dont like to sugar coat my comments when it comes to health problems that can be easily resolved.

No, its not a matter of sugar coating, its you trying to give advice on things you simply don't know about. I can stop smoking for a day and I'll be more or less fine, minus the occasional shaking, everything past that I get really aggressive, like punch you in the face for saying hello aggressive. Basically its kind of like a hang over, but it lasts for days.

I am not trying to come off as offensive either man. Back in the day, 3 years ago, before I started smoking I was kind of like you in my views on the whole thing.

But yeah, I am not too big on willpower then all that needs to be done is waiting. I am good at the other stuff though, pushing myself through two 12 hour shifts of constant manual labor in a row (that included carrying around 50-70 pound bags, carrying a shitload of mats, pushing around 400 pound carts, literally digging shit with a shovel, and of course my favorite at 4 AM in the morning, getting bit by fucking red ants crawling all over the steaming piles of shit I am digging) now thats more my style.

No sorry to say mate but that aggressiveness will last you the rest of your days. Look
at me. If there were no consequences for picking up another cig I sure as hell would. I
want one all the time even thought I haven't smoked for about 2 and a half years now.

And Quik, seriously. Take your ignorance elsewhere. You don't know what we're
talking about cause you haven't been through it so don't brush it off so lightly.

I don't know, most all of my friends quit at some point in the past 3 years, they seem fine. My dad quit 8 years ago, after smoking for 15 years he is also fine.

Arrogance is the height of ignorance.

You don't like to sugar coat your comments when it comes to anything you have an opinion about. You think you're right about everything and anyone who doesn't bend to your will is branded as a no-lifer. You're the typical arrogant clown who can't see that his head is in his ass.

sometimes, you need to respond with arrogance...it gets the message accross better.
You see, uncle vanya is a feeble weakling...If I were his father I would have him publicly flogged for his failure to take care of his health. Peasants like him should not be babied, they should be treated with disrespect because they are too incompetent realize the consequences of their actions.

Erm..stopping smoking isn't that simple. Nicotine is a very addictive substance and your body becomes dependent on it..

Yes, you can quit cold turkey if you really put your mind to it..and ignore all of the symptoms, but it isn't easy. And some people simply don't have the will power to do it. It doesn't mean they're "weak". Stop acting like an idiot..especially since you've never been addicted yourself.
