    Quiting smoking. I'm down to a quarter of a pack of a day instead of my high point of a pack a day a year ago. I'm going to Cold Turkey tomorrow because I have a month off of work starting then and I figure I want to get this shit done before I go back.

    Be prepared for some 'spergin' on here.

    Edit: I don't even know why I just wrote that as 'Cold Turkey' with the capitalization. I'm in panic mode already maybe.

You jump strapped to a ex-green beret at 32,000 feet and open around 1000. Not quite as good as doing it for real, but as close as I'm going to get being a civilian.

    how much does it cost?

    regardless, you should take time off drinking anyway to give your liver a break.

    I've been told that. I went out today and already have enough groceries to last me for the next three weeks and I've cancelled my New Years plans already because I just want to get this over with.

    I also bought a hell of a lot of video games that I want to catch up on, so I'll try my best. I just don't want to do this to my lungs and my health anymore.

    Yea, I've cut my drinking down to only beer and I only keep that to the weekends and I don't get drunk anymore. My liver doesn't scream out in pain anymore.

    Jerking off helps. Chewing gum kind of helps but your jaw will be sore from chewing so much gum.

    I don't mean to say any of this to discourage you, but I'm just trying to pass on advice that I've used in the past to quit for periods of time before inevitably ending back hooked.

    Actually jerking off helps just about everywhere so you should probably be doing that anyway.

    No, I was fine in the attitude department.

    Eating better will probably help you in that area though.

    i just did this
    its alright

    but i got kinda lucky
    a few weeks ago i just kinda didnt wanna smoke much one day. maybe too much the night before, or cos i was playing sport that day or somethin
    and then the next few days i was only smoking a couple a day before just stopping for 48 hours

    but then i figured i could just have a few a day and pretty much kept it at or below 5 a day for a little while
    just this past week ive been havin 5 a day with a bit more on saturday
    because family is around and buggin me

    which is still less than normal so its okay

    maybe try delaying cigarettes a bit
    like instead of saying you arent gonna smoke, just say youll smoke later and do somethin else for a while
    and then maybe do somethin else after that to delay it a bit more

    and think of it kinda like, cravings build up quick but then sorta level off
    so after an hour you might be jonesin pretty bad
    but the cravings dont really develop too much past that, so if you want a cigarette after an hour but you can let yourself get distracted or put it out of your mind for 30 minutes, the cravings wont really be any worse

    so you kinda go 'hey that last 30 minutes wasnt really that bad, maybe another 30 wont be too bad either'
    and then try to push it back a bit

    i think it helped that im on holiday and doing pretty much nothing
    even if i was feeling bad i could just sit there feeling bad and trying to space out or watch tv or something
    which would explain why this last week ive had a bit more, with my mother coming back after a few months
    not only is there some added stress but i actually gotta pay a bit of attention

    Though for me it's more like 'Find a job where my boss isn't an insane manic bitch.'

    And if I can't then I want to move somewhere completely new while I'm still young enough to do it without having to deal with a bunch of crap.
