    Four days with no cigarettes. I have a level of energy this morning that I haven't had in awhile and the cough is already going away, but withdrawal is a bitch. I don't think it's psychosomatic either. Wish me luck.

    • It's been over 10 years quit for me. The physical withdrawal is real, but it shouldn't last much longer. Usually just a few days.nb
    • Thanks all. I'm using my first e cig mod thingy that I got on Monday. Low nicotene scratches that itch. It's the first thing that gives me hope.monospaced
    • i say ditch the e-cig and commit to quitting cold-turkey, you're just stringing yourself along. #GoodLuckimbecile
    • fuck that, keep vaping man, its works, I havent smoked in almost a year now because of it! great job brother, keep it up!!moldero
    • Congrats mono, I'm at about 90 days since I quit, hang in there. You have to fidget with the vape stuff to get what's right for you, but it works.BuddhaHat
    • Addiction is tough. Go cold turkey. I turned it into a "stop being a pussy and handle this shit" issue in my mind. (I was in my 20s) That attitude helped me.nb
    • In those 90 days, I've gone from 18->12->6mg every month, and slightly upping the PG to compensate for the throat hitBuddhaHat
    • dont smoke it broh. think of your future.yurimon
    • Pre-order one of these, it will do everything you need: http://www.kangeronl…BuddhaHat
    • I have tried going cold turkey many times, but that only lasts a week or so. This ecig at 6mg is working nicely and I definitely need the nicotine.monospaced
    • When I quit, about 5 years ago, the physical craving lasted about 5 days - the mental adjustment took a while longer - not smoking after meals, out walking etc.face_melter
    • I'm not proud to say but, I've been moving up in the world of nic levels, I started at 6mg and now at 24, its better than where I was 2Y ago at 1.5 packs/daymoldero
    • I went cold turkey - one Sunday morning I just thought 'fuck it' and forced my way through it. Don't miss it - no craving or moments of weakness.face_melter
    • @face, yeah the social stuff sucks, heaps of my friends still smoke. Also, remembering to not rage about stupid shit when you're withdrawingBuddhaHat
    • Yeah, do whatever works for you. I tried to quit dozens of times over the years before I finally succeeded.nb
    • Yup, withdrawal is an absolute cunt. I'm still trying to work up the nerve to try and get through it.Continuity

    • hey pinkfloyd, why do you have the impression I'm fat?monospaced
    • Thanks for the food links imbecile. Luckily I happen to love and regularly eat all of those. This is all helpful.monospaced
    • also look into the gerson diet to detox. lots of juicing veggies.yurimon
    • I did... Gelson seems a bit extreme. I feel like my already balanced diet should suffice. Thanks anyway.monospaced
    • monospaced, best thing i've heard all day. go go go go; i'm cheerleading for you!bklyndroobeki
    • Thanks! And getting married in 3 weeks from tomorrow. :)monospaced
    • good look and congrats! i'd say cold turkey is the way to go, people fool themselves with e-cigs.garbage
    • also now i want a cigarette, thanks a lot!garbage
    • the e-cig seems to fool my body into thinking it's satisfying a craving (which it is), but with no carcinogens... to me that's a winmonospaced
    • Did it cold turkey 2 years ago after smoking for 12-13 years, you can do it, bitch.Maaku
    • just don't be one of those that keeps upping the dosage. it's cleaner, but only to a point. brb, walking to the corner store to buy a pack.garbage
    • Four days... I would have killed 3 people by now...pango
    • I don't plan to up the dosage. Honestly I knew nothing about these until 4 days ago.monospaced
    • The 8-24 doses were too much for me. This 6 feels right so far.monospaced
    • Great to hear. I'm trying to ditch cigs myself before I turn 40.docpoz
    • i picked up smoking at the burn (as i do every year) but went cold turkey again afterward. i don't crave cigarettes but have dreams in which i'm bumming smokesscarabin
    • it's weird, like my body probably wants the nicotine but i'm too dumb to know and smoke to get itscarabin
    • Vapes are well and good until you're ten pints and a gram of Charlie in and morning quite hits the spot like a good old fashioned roll upset
    • Nothing quite hits *set
    • haha, set, so true... I told my girl that the real test will be a night drinking out... I'm not a morning smoker at all so maybe there's hope for memonospaced
    • and if the fresh powder comes around, I'll probably cave and hate myselfmonospaced
    • But it's a great replacement until that point. And Hey in my opinion have a smoke every once in a while, on a night out, isn't a bad thingset
    • :)monospaced
    • Quitter!pango
    • smoked for 25 yrs 1-1.5 pack a day and quite 2 yrs ago cold turkey

      screw vaping.      2002
    • Vape pango, VAPE! you will like!moldero
    • Nice 2002. I tried before a couple of times too and can honestly say that the vape is the first thing that makes me feel I can do this.monospaced
    • I believe I'm addicted as much to the act itself as I am the nicotine. Many people are which is why it's hard to quit.monospaced
    • you just need a weekend for yourself to quit where you are home and not exposed to any outside 2nd hand smoke.2002
    • have a plan for vaping if it helps you. figure out how you plan to reduce.

      i tried vaping before and it doesnt help      2002
    • I hit the vape when I have a craving but I am trying to not use it. I actually use it far less than I smoked cigs. It's a combo of the crutch and a true effort.monospaced
    • try you best not to use it. get over the hump of the psychological addiction -- the nicotine thing doesn't last that long.Gnash
    • I still crave it but it's a brain game now.Gnash
    • Thanks. I felt great about it this morning, now you all are scaring me a little though. Haha, yes its' a brain game. I'm in it to win this time.monospaced
    • Ya finally have extra money this month. Gonna get vaped...pango
    • puff puff, aaaaahhhgarbage
    • cool, so, instead of smoking now something is smoking you. awesome, nice work!doesnotexist
    • lol, wut?monospaced
    • Good luck! Quitting smoking is one of the healthiest things I've done for myself.bezoar
    • Keep on vapin' on, bro. I'm right there with you.DRIFTMONKEY
    • Fuck I've been smoking for 15 years O_Opango
