Currently Quitting Tobacco!! (and it feels bad)

[Solo]

Ok guys, I´ve been for 4 days without a cig. I´ve gone cold turkey after smoking daily a marlboro pack.


I don´t know if this is the right forum, but I do empathize with the people here, and I spent some time browsing it, so here I go.


I´m feeling totally wasted, I have all the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal in their full expression. Today I had to call my father to get me some patches in the pharmacy as I can´t stand it no more. I have one right now in my arm, and it´s not doing sh*t so far.

I´m very aggressive about everything. I shouted at my girlfriend on the phone, and I am also feeling very depressed.

I haven´t sleep properly for two days. I haven´t gone to work either. I feel like I could throw a computer to my boss´s head because of the lesser incidence.

For Christ´s shake. I´ve done and quit some drugs, but what seemed the most innocent one is leaving me like no other. I´m a piece of sh*t right now.

I feel the constant urge to take my car, get to a bar, buy a pack and chain smoke it one after another.

But I´m decided to confront this sh*t. I don´t want to be slave to this all my life. Thinking about the new basket season about to come gives me strenght, how I´m going to be able to breath better and run faster. I don´t know what else can I do.

This is absolutely wasting me these days.

good luck. if i had a penny for every person who said they quite, who I found somewhere hiding out and smoking...



yeah, quiting is not just about self discipline not to smoke. It is also about dealing with feeling bad. i heard exercise can make it easier to quit.

Ha ha ha!!


Thanks for your skepticism and your help!!


I´ve been trekking today to calm the beast, it really feels good.

Good luck with getting rid of your habit.

I smoked my "last" one yesterday, it's already tough.

Hang in there.

11:59 PM? Is that the first time you ever smoked your last one?

$150 per month saved. That could pay for two huge regimens and a few dinners and movies with women each month. Better health, no wrinkles at age 30, and no longer dependent on the hourly smoke break, so you can cuddle non-stop with your girlfriend.

But if your girlfriend smokes, you both can smoke while cuddling, I guess.

Ha ha ha!!


No, mate, I´m holding ok so far.


Not a single cig. I´m feeling better nowadays about it as well. I like this feeling of being healthy, I haven´t had for years.

I´m planning to restore an old motorbike (I want to make a customized triumph bonneville) and I´m soon starting basketball season. I´m going to start woking and studying at the same time for the next year, and I´m feeling superb!! I just to want to enjoy life and make it useful and intense, so I´m leaving all the bad habits behind.

Solo, Hang in there you can do it. I know exactly what you are going through. A few days ago was my second year anniversary of quitting. I quit cold turkey two years ago and I feel like a new person. It is the best thing that I ever did. You can do it! I had my tough battles in the beginning when I first quit but you must have that inner conviction in you to quit for good. All the best to you! Cheers

Thanks, mates!!


I´m holding quite well so far, and I think the worst (physically wise) has passed by. Now I just have to be strong against the temptations, and I feel like I can!!


The think that I like the most is that I don´t feel like a smoker no more. Both mentally and physically.
