Thread: Quitting Smoking cold turkey.

I still miss smoking after quitting one day 15 years ago. For the last 5 of 30 years as a smoker I was going through 60 fags a day. I didn't need any triggers.

I finally developed a cough at night and realizing I'd keep any bed partner awake I decided that was it, finished.

Hell, if I was OK to be celibate, I'd probably be smoking today.

Taking up "roll your own" is the ticket, Dill.
The practice and purer tobacco leads to less smoking.


Once you've gone over to the other side....

Peace, baby.

Yeah but that doesn't break the habit or stop the constant craving.

Anyway this is the cold turkey for real men thread, the champix and vaping metro megathread is that way>

Every time you fancy a fag, stick your tongue deep into a german sex tourists sweaty ring piece. Idealy a "taker" from the bars that gayray hangs out at in bozytown.

Aversion therapy - habit broken after the first mouthful.

Well I crashed, but I have a good excuse. TIT if you have a good excuse anything is acceptable here. I had to take a shit. How a man takes a shit with out smoking I will never know. I will try again tomorrow when I don't have to take a shit.

...hint: a man ingests a little more fiber at breakfast...

Or some papaya the day before....that always does it for me. And give up white rice.....brown is more healthy anyway.

Try meditating, but maybe before you start curling one out.

How many smokers (current or former) have been smoking on the bog and dropped their smoke into their trousers / pants / shorts? I had the cherry fall off on one and didn't realise until I pulled the shorts up again. That smarted a bit.

Anyway, here you go Dilli




You're not missing anything. Dirty habit for dirty people.

Smokers with a Missus and kids have no idea what their families are putting up with, the fucking stench of cigarette smoke and the related skunkiness of ash trays and on clothes is nothing short of disgusting. Even getting into a lift, the foul smell on someones breath who smokes is unmistakable.

You don't know about these things till you don't smoke any more, I forget how long it was after I gave up (after some 30 years of heavy smoking) that I realized just how offensive everything about them is. I know how hard it is to give them up, but it was one of the best moves I've ever made in life.

Amen brother.

Closet smokers are the funniest. Somehow convincing themselves that others don't know they smoke, especially wives / husbands.

Yep gotta agree with sid and headworx. My poor wife has had to sleep alongside me with my cigarette smelling breath and clothes reeking of it. And im embarrassed to say that i was smoking in the car with the kids in there on roadtrips. Thinking about it now i feel like a right coont. And so i should.

How's it going Dill?

Fookers onit like a car bonnet!

No ruddy willpower

Why not pretend you are in Australia and you smoke Bensen and Hedges 25 pack? At the current retail price in aus, not smoking 480 cigs has saved you (at the current AUD/THB rate), a tad under 15,000 Baht.
If you think thats expensive there will be a 12.5% increase once or possibly twice through 2019. Looking on the bright side if you are on a packet a day you could join Balders at Thermae get pissed and take home one of the delightful ladies there twice a week without breaking your budget.

Morning #2 for me. This ain't so bad, I can do this. I am a non-smoker now. I am right behind you Dill so when you crack and fall I will be there to step on your face. Its just there are so many triggers that make me want to grab a smoke. When she comes home as soon as she opens her mouth, I want to grab a smoke, or a sledge hammer. If I could just shut her mouth.

Grab a chunk of dark chocolate.
Do 20 push-ups.
Have a healthy drink.

Or reward yourself in some other way.

Or you could take ENT's advice and have a bit of lobelia. Just don't have too much or you'll vomit.
