I just saw a thread where several guys were talking about struggling with smoking or dipping. I thought we might need a thread dedicated just to encouraging each other to stay the course. My name is stankyleg, and I used to smoke
Awesome bro. Its been 3 weeks for me. Stay the course my brother.Haven't had a smoke since Feb. 28...
Nice tip. Congrats on the year without tobacco.For those that are interested in quitting chewing look into Jake's Mint Chew. I tried all sorts of "fake" chew and this was the closest to the real thing. For me I had to use fake chew because I missed the sensation of chew/relaxing with something in my lip. I've been chew free for just over a year after about 5 years of tobacco use. I know how hard it can be to quit, but think of the money saved and health benefits of stopping cigarettes or chewing tobacco!
You gotta get pissed about it. At least I had to do that. I quit for five yrs once.Quit once for 3 months, which isn't really a "quit", just a lag in the habit. Took it back up and still doing it, plus dip, and on occasion, even a pipe (which I don't inhale but do enjoy). I wish I could quit. I've tried. Something in me just isn't ready yet. When it is, I will give it a go. Props to all of you who were able to kick it. This crap is worse than a meth habit, I swear. (Not that I've had one of those, just sayin'...)
:cheers:
Running doesn't hurt so bad without all that junk clogging the lungs either. I'm finding that out more every day.When I quit I started doing long runs outdoors (fuk treadmills!) and upping the intensity of my routines. After a very short time the thought of smoking a cigarette was foul to me.
That's the motivation to quit. Go run 5 miles then think about having to do that again before you submit to a craving. Think "if I smoke im gonna pay for it tommorow when I run."Running doesn't hurt so bad without all that junk clogging the lungs either. I'm finding that out more every day.
You have to quit come on cigarettes are worse for your health than anything you can possibly imagine. You'll be amazed at how amazing you feel once you quit. I know because I smoked for ten years and have been tobacco free for over 6 yearsI wish it was that easy.. I quit 2 months ago for a month, then I got injured, n started again.. Now that I have no schedule in my life I smoke more than ever..I hope to kick the damn habit again once I recover n get busy again.. My trainer has been on my a$$ to quit for a year now... Some good motivation up in here ... Good for all of u that have quit...
6 years... Good for u.. I guess now would b a good time to quit , since I'm off work n not training.. I'm gonna give it a shot ...tomorrow is a new dayYou have to quit come on cigarettes are worse for your health than anything you can possibly imagine.

If you're going to smoke, that's definitely the way to do it.<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=94482"/>
^^^Thats exactly how I quit. I blew threw some cartridges the first few weeks but vaped inside to break the habit of "going out for a smoke" after that it just got to the point where I questioned its usefulness and finally just threw it away. Now the smell of cigs makes me sick. I still do like a cigar once in a while 2 maybe three times a year when I go fishing or am playing cards and drinking scotch with the boys.
If you tell some one to Fck off with a smile on I think you can still call that a non grouchy winI have a good feeling about this... Kinda want the day to end though, just so I can say I made it through today without getting grouchy, ha ha..
Thanks for sharing brother. It's up to those of us who have kicked it to encourage the ones that are about to.Google mouth or throat cancer pics....worked for me almost 3.5 years ago now...the first two weeks are the worst ...make it thru them and y'all b stylin!!
You can do it girl!Ha, I work in the medical field, I c it in real life , everyday.. But I'm determined to quit this time!! I'm edgy , puffing the life outta my electronic cig!!! Day is almost done
Ha ha, that's funny, I have seen those in my lifetime...Lol those electronic cigs look like the one hitters that look like a cig but you put weed in the tip anyone ever use those?
Hell yes I've owned a couple in my previous lifeLol those electronic cigs look like the one hitters that look like a cig but you put weed in the tip anyone ever use those?
Did you stay the course?Ha, I work in the medical field, I c it in real life , everyday.. But I'm determined to quit this time!! I'm edgy , puffing the life outta my electronic cig!!! Day is almost done
Day 2, yes my friend, I'm hanging in there .. Grrrrr....Did you stay the course?
Just make sure you hide the bodies wellDay 2, yes my friend, I'm hanging in there .. Grrrrr....
Keep at it. You can say some pretty mean stuff to people as long as you follow it up by saying sorry I am trying to quit smoking and I am a little on edge. I used that for like a month lol!Day 2, yes my friend, I'm hanging in there .. Grrrrr....
Well, you aren't getting the carcinogens from the e cig, but you are still getting the nicotine, which is bad for your heart and blood vessels. And then that becomes it's own addiction. Most people that use e cigs take in entirely too much nicotine, more than when they smoked. Working in the healthcare field, you should know that they aren't that much better.Ha, I work in the medical field, I c it in real life , everyday.. But I'm determined to quit this time!!

I had someone tell me that smoking was a sign of weakness. That was all it took. Once I had that perspective, I was pissed. Every time I craved, I would say "I am stronger than cigarettes." I wasn't going to be defeated. Best of luck bro. You can do anything filtered through the proper perspective.Well, you aren't getting the carcinogens from the e cig, but you are still getting the nicotine, which is bad for your heart and blood vessels.
