Thread: Quitting Smoking cold turkey.

Within three days you are totally free of any nicotine and monoxide poisoning - it's left your system and any real, as opposed to imagined, adverse physical effects will have dissipated.

You will now experience light-headedness and feelings of angst verging on depression to a degree almost akin to bereavement. You will experience cravings that will manifest themselves at almost every stage of your waking consciousness and denying them will provoke a lack of control and on occasions you will contemplate murder or at the very least, GBH. Trigger events occur everywhere and at any time waiting to bushwhack you into the delusion that you only need one puff to relieve the pain. This period lasts for three weeks but diminishes gradually - most cold turkey addicts develop stratagems to cope - brushing your teeth is good and eating nice chocolates as a reward substitute is good too.

Once you are past this second hurdle, you have cracked it, sort of, but only taking one day at a time - read loads of information about how good you can feel about yourself to get this far and realise the fundamental truth of your addiction: the nicotine addiction was kicked within three days, and the only issue is comprehending that you were only addicted to the addiction. You're free now and master of your own well being, not some stupid bunch of dirty, fucking leaves and 60 chemical variants turning your body to mush.

But, its also true you have given up your bestest friend in the world, the most pleasurable experience that filled your entire being with unalloyed satisfaction at certain key times in your daily existence viz, after breakfast, after sex, after a curry, with a coffee, during a pint, waiting for a bus/train/plane but most of all it was there for you when some stupid cvunt fucked you up and you found a little a bit of space all on your own when you could light up and reflect on the stupidity of the world.

Wanting a fag during this period, not as critically as you might have desired one in the first three weeks or so, but still having moments when you "need" one lasts for three months.

There is a physical reason for this. Your dopamine receptors and synaptic networks have been feeding off a life time of feel-good-reward- nicotine hits during the entire time you have been conscious and negotiating the world. These receptors have been starved and have got irritated by the continuing absence of that nicotine. The little fuckers are nagging away most times but mainly in a low-key way, but sometimes they peak and surprise you with a scream into your very soul " where the fuck are my ciggies, you cvunt!

However, after around three months these little bastards buried in your brain finally accept the fact that you are now no longer a smoker and leave you alone, for good.

You are a free man now. But that "friend" will tap you on the shoulder from time to time and remind you of the time when you were truly happy and satisfied. This is bollox, you were only satisfying an addiction and nothing else and you can ignore it as if it never existed but this fucker from the past will still try to delude you that you are really only after one fag, and one only, which can't hurt, can it? This is a truly treacherous thought and simply ignore it.

Three years later and the smell of other people's fags no longer tempts you but becomes actually quite offensive and you either remove yourself or tell the offender to fuck off- old ashtrays, and stale smoke on someone's breath are quite awful and repulsive. You are truly a non-smoker and if you can stay off them after five years or so, it is as if you have never smoked.

However, you will always remain a stupid Brexit cvunt.

I take it all back!

You are not a Cockwomble!

You are my new best friend


There's fookers out there that would pay thousands to a quack for similar long winded advice, but you have fooking nailed it!!!

BTW you are still a remoaning spasticated spunk bubble

First fag of the morn....with a decent cuppa.

Thinking of ya, Chitty.

You're not looking that healthy, dude.

Looks rather disconnected.

Day 5 and nicotine free, can run up 6 flights of steps now without breaking a sweat or having a moment


Shove your dirty rotten fags up your arse

...yes, that's usually how it's done...

...of course, some reciprocity is expected...

Cold turkey....?

The thing is you are just dulling your senses.

Why are you dulling down your senses?

What's happened in the past to trigger your addiction?

These are the questions one asks when completely untied from addiction.

So obviously there's a hit list!

Some easier than others.

I'm not talking about mafia hit stylee, more a payback of inconvenience for past misdemeanours.

It's also recommended serving cold

I can't believe how inappropriate this remark is.

If you can't help some, why try to hurt them?

Cause he's a horrible old cvnt that's why.

You've probably wanked over your scat pic collection then cried twice this morning too. Fuckwit.

Considering the time of the post, our judgmental friend, might've been inebriated.

I don't believe there's a google drunken cunta translator app available.

It looks like someone got confused while rifling through their sock drawer

Maybe he's unwell.

Can't you take a hint?

I'll spell it out - you're not welcome here. try going out your house and being nice to someone, they might become your friend. Join a club perhaps.

ChitttyChang, how's it going? Hang in there.

A week free of nicotine, no coughing up mucus.
Chest infection has gone,no nights sweats or daytime chills.
Did get the urge last night but managed to divert my attention and keep busy.

...that's why porn was invented...

The urge to light up comes in waves, less frequently as time goes by.
Keeping busy is the key!
Wouldn't have done this without the support on here.

Good on yer, hold on, only hurts for a while so I'm told.

Even less if you're not a drama queen.

Christ, you'd think he was coming off heroin.
