This always makes me wonder if some people are just more prone to hang onto and addiction than others. Is it willpower, genetics, laziness?

I've seen a few people capable of just quitting tobacco one day just because it's stupid and bad. But everyone here seems to struggle really hard. Maybe it's just those that post about it?

I have noticed that some people can get addicted to things whether they are good or bad. They just have addictedpersonalities. If you have friends that are addicted to smoking, drugs, alcohol etc, look to other things in their life that most would not label as an addiction and see if they seemed obsessed with those things.

I know someone that gets addicted to the point of obsession with hobbies. Racing his street car and going camping are two things they never did unti a few years ago. Then once he started it has gotten to where it takes over his life. He used to smoke.

sorry, but part of it is having a good support system, so rather you read this or not, i will keep posting in order to just get off my chest so to speak. i know it sounds crazy, but it actually helps... like right now when i just finished dinner and my wife is outside smoking and i want one so fukin bad lol. so i escaped here to vent....
rant off/

Good luck with this addiction. I've been told that quitting cigarettes is harder than quitting crack or heroin.

This....I try as hard as I can and can never quit...GL!

me too. i quit 2 years. then i moved back to texas and all my friends smoke so i started again. i only smoke 3-4 a day now vs a pack, so IMO it's not that bad, or as bad as it could be.

Congrats and good luck with it.

I have always been curious about it. Perhaps it is a combination of those things. Everyone has a different tolerance, even when I smoked heavily (two to three packs a week, mostly on weekend binges), I would sometimes skip a week or so without noticing.

sorry guys, they say to do something when you get a craving to take your mind off of it, so i figured i would post, which will likely be the case for a little while. 36 hours and no fukin cig. it's funny things actually taste diff in this short amount of time. i can't stand smelling my wife after she comes in from smoking. i actually had a good night sleep without coughing. this is gonna be good.... yay me lol

[LS1Goat]

congrats. i'm working on cutting back on dipping.

[Z06killinsbf]

Congrats dude. As a non-smoker I understand the desire to not smoke. Vent to me via PMs if you like, I'm used to being bitched at...

I'm on day 5. Quit cold turkey and it fucking sucks so far. My wife wants to try chantrix. I talked to a 60-70 yr old woman at a truck stop that had quit by using that. She said it gave her crazy sex dreams that she hadn't had in 30 years. I didn't know whether to be turned on or disturbed.

Shit, I may have to try that stuff. I don't smoke, but I would love some crazy sex dreams.:wink1:

Get you a bag of sunflower seeds. They keep you busy and it is a good little snack.

Way to go Allan! I used chantix myself, quit for almost 2 years and am tempted to do it again. It definitely works, and you will love the savings!

Healthy lungs are better than a healthy liver, congrats.

I dipped for maybe two years in college...then when I graduated I just decided it was stupid, and unhealthy. So I quit cold turkey. It didn't seem hard because it was so practical to quit.

I also have another friend that has tested addicitions in many ways. It was a weird fascination he had in college and he tried many things for months on end just to see how hard it was to quit.

But I also have broke friends that cannot quit regardless of the financial impact.
