Quitting smoking was really a breeze compared to snus imo.  After a couple days of no cigarettes the withdrawal symptoms were gone and it was all psychological from there on.  When I quit snus the withdrawal lasted for almost 2 months and was very violent the first couple weeks. I felt dizzy and angry constantly.  My hands shook so bad at times I was afraid people would refer me to an AA meeting.  I've been off the stuff for about 5 months now thankfully.  So if you quit smoking I guess I just wanted to say don't pick up snus in the process. 

Luke threw twice…maybe.

I'm glad I never did any alcohol, tobacco, chew, or really any street drugs other than pot. My life is boring though.

Other than occasional alcohol, I haven't touched any of these things (or pot, for that matter).  I don't consider my life boring, however.

It is what you make it, or at least what you consider it.

I'm dating a nice girl who really likes me, I have wonderful friends, my family is cool. Boring really isn't a bad thing ya know?

Maybe you should stop going to French holiday cottages.

Man, this makes no sense.  I almost forgot about the deleted spambot that caused me to post it.

I was just imagining that perhaps you once went to a French holiday cottage that featured quotes from famous people's mothers stenciled on the walls.

I've now decided that I'm not going to smoke anything, or drink anything alcoholic anymore. From now on I don't want any of that stuff anymore.

I only booze around Christmas and my birthday (when the better half isn't around and I can let my hair down a bit) so I could go without it entirely very easily.

I'm still without nicotine.

I never smoked anything else and I hadn't smoked it since 2005.

Lucky I don't chew gum anymore because it wouldn't really work with these teeth.

To anybody attempting to quit cigarettes , try switching to pipe tobacco first! It is much less harmful than cigarettes, but that is not the point of this.  The point is it is much, much, MUCH less addictive than cigarettes.  All the hundreds of chemicals added to cigarettes for various purposes just are not there in pipe tobacco.  So when you are ready to quit smoking, quitting pipe tobacco will be easier than quitting cigarettes would have been.

 

I do however smoke marijuana, and since it helps me in almost every aspect of my life I shall not quit!

I would advise people stay away from Spice however.  That stuff is dangerous and messed me up, possibly for good.  I fell into it's trap at a time when I was trying to get a job and needed to pass a drug test.  Not a good idea! It WILL mess you up, sooner or later.  It will give you anxiety so bad that it will interfere with your life.  Off of it for several months, and I'm still slowly returning to normal.  Just a warning from my experience: Stay away! It might claim to be legal pot, but IT IS NOTHING LIKE POT.

(I got the job in case you were wondering and that was the only test I will ever have to take so now I'm back to pot and slowly returning my life to normal... everything about living is so much better on pot compared to incense. )

Sorry if it seems like I just made a long post dedicated to doing drugs, that was not my intention.  I just understand that Spice has become very popular in some parts of the world and wanted to warn everybody  to stay away from it and if one person sees this and heeds my warning then it will be worth it!

It's hard to remember how much I lasted, last time I quit on March 2013.

A good guess is... until that summer.

As of now, I've been totally smoke free since May 15th. And this time I really feel better. I quit because I was sick of it. It was hard on my gums and throat. No cravings. I do think about smoking, but it's not desire. I just think "I used to do that.".After quitting, I've taken to riding my bike regularly (well, I haven't gone riding since the middle of August) and I've lost a couple of kilos. I've been trying to eat a little better, lots of fruit, less bread, less milk, less sugar.
I'd say fuckin A if it wasn't for my tonsils... but that's for another thread maybe.

When I was a kid I smoked a cigar, but no one told me I wasn't supposed to inhale it into my lungs. I made it through half of the cigar and quit cold turkey

That's a good way to put you off smoking, hopefully forever.
