How hard is it to stop smoking?

[Spencer Addington]

ive been smoking for 5 months give or take and am toying with the idea of quitting. Are there any ex smokers who can recount the struggle of quitting?

I'm not an ex smoker but my brother is. He has yet to regret the decision. He has more money and more time. He feels better

Cigs depend on the person tbh
Just gotta stop buying packs, you can only bum so many cigs before you feel like a jerk

Stop smoking. Spend the money on magic cards.

My mother has "quit" twice. She's still smoking. But she can quit whenever she wants to. *rolls eyes*

People say it's stress relief and justify it by being social about it. But honestly everyone knows what they're doing. It's easier to quit now than later, cause later is two steps away from never.

Thnx guys

Best advice I've seen is stay away from other smokers.

The longer you do it the harder it gets.

Damn the craving is intense!

[MuggyWuggy]

Just don't buy any packs!

Addictions suck, I totally get it. I'm trying to overcome a self harm addiction right now and even though it's not a substance it's just as hard to break. If not harder, because sharp objects aren't exactly hard to come by x) I don't know if you are the same way as I am, but I want to quit until I hit that point where I start getting the urges....and then it's pretty much too late because I want the release it will bring  and I don't want help and I don't want to stop, because for a very brief period I feel really good....so yeah. My free therapy for the day, venting on an online forum xD I wish you luck, I'll be sending happy thoughts your way :3

Hey Spence, we can help you with this. If you need a distraction, just come wall game or chat with us. Just to take your mind off the craving.

Last couple of attempts I just stopped buying. In the middle of my new quit though. Stress made me fall of the wagon. Now it's harder, can't shut out the urge for now.
Distraction is good! Try to do something else.

Don't do this. If you're going to do something as challenging as quitting smoking it can't be "from then on" and "after this one time". When you decide you're going to quit, you stop then and there, no excuses, no half way theres, nothing. If you want to quit do it now and go cold turkey.
