I’m pretty sure it’s over – at least for a while.
How to never smoke again
How I did it: Made sure I had some other drug to look forward to: coffee in the morning and a couple beers at night.
Snuck in naps to keep the energy up.
Exercised a lot (don't know why, but it helps).
Wasn't thinking about it much - not really my doing.
Lessons & tips: For the first few days do what you gotta do. But then, move on. Be healthy, get back to work, talk to people and so on. The sooner you accept the new life, the easier it will be.
Resources: Coffee, red stripe, little caesar's.

It’s been about 4 days since my last cigarette. I’ve been drinking a lot of coffee to make up for the stimulation deficit. Otherwise it’s been relatively easy and un-noteworthy.
This is my third time quitting, and I think I have a good excuse to quit for good this time. This time I want to quit for myself, and not others. What I have really decided is that smoking was distorting my own image of myself as well as for others. It was also harming my body and my brain.
The brain is the big thing for me. I think there was a certain point when I just realized that every time I lit up a cigarette it was to escape something, and that perhaps escaping all the time isn’t a good idea. Sometimes you really just have to face things.
Quitting smoking makes me feel like an addict, which I guess I am. Sometimes I just want one, just to go through the motions. There’s a clarity of mind during those first few puffs you need, and then it just fades away from you at the end, like some other person’s thoughts. It’s the most neglected effect of all, and you might not even notice it at first, until one day you realize something is missing.
Anyway, I think as I get healthier, and life improves, it’ll be easier. It’s been about a month or two since I’ve quit. I still want to really often when work gets stressful or after I’ve had a drink, but I don’t indulge it. They’ve also made it illegal in the bars here and that is a GOOD idea.
For those of you who think there’s something romantic about smoking, or perhaps something magical, yes perhaps there is. But as soon as it leaves, you’ll just be left with the same void that I had and a harmed body.

It went from everyday when i was 13 to just on the weekends to just when im drunk and now at 17 its once every few months. Its only a few tokes but i want to stop all together. From now on i make a vow to never smoke again.
It’s been a long time since I smoked regularly and though there’s very little chance that I’ll start again, since smoking three days in a row will make me sick, it’s still dangerous because I’m very much addicted to nicotine. Here’s to another goal that I can never really strike off my list!
If you smoke now, you are only hurting your body for the future….....You will hurt the people you love if you die of cancer.
Shellshell7 is hanging out with friends
I haven’t smoked cigarettes for awhile now, and some of my friends still do. I never want to smoke again. I have made a promise to myself.
and thats a promise. I only smoked for about 6 months and quit about 5 years ago. I never have an urge since then and no way would I ever go back. Waste of money and why make your health worse. It’s definitely not worth smoking. Theres nothing positive about it.
