Quit-ing Smokeing
 

Has anyone here been successful on quit-ing smokeing??

I have. Several times. But finally for good, as well. I went cold turkey. I made sure that I had no cigarettes in the house. I made sure I didn't go to places I usually smoked (like the pub, in the good old days) so that I was not tempted by smoking friends. That being said, my live-in partner smoked at that time, and I just didn't. Sometimes I'd choose to go and sit in another room than him, sometimes I just ignored it.
I was determined to give up for good. I don't remember it being particularly difficult emotionally, I just kept choosing not to have a cigarette. Again. And again. Until it was automatic. I don't miss it now at all (five years' stopped).

I quit cold turkey, after 34 years of smoking. I smoked between 2-4 packs a day. Basically, I decided I wanted to be around for my children and grandchildren much more than I wanted to puff on a stinky weed roll. So I threw them away, then argued with myself over it for three days. Willpower won. It's been 3 1/2 years since my last cigarette.

Why the hell would any one want to do 'that'?

Most I ever managed was a little over a year. Then I went to work at a place with a strong smoking room culture and ended up back on them.

I wish I could stop. Or, more accurately, I wish I could want it enough to stop. The health implications scare me, but not enough to want to not smoke.
