Good luck. After 72 hours you will be free from the physical addiction .. once that is passed it's all psychological addiction ...

Reality is only an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol in the blood.

Dig it in. I haven't had a ciggie since Nov last year and feel great for it. I just stopped cold turkey too. Best way imo.

Well ive tried to cut down before etc but that never worked, and the patches gave me some trippy dreams and didn't really do much. Just thought it's time to grow a pair and do it.
All the girls will be happy for the non-smoky kisses now lol
Shall I buy another bike???

Good on ya! I agree that cold turkey is the only way that really works.
I sat the pack on the mantlepiece and every time I wanted a smoke I just went over to them and said, "No, you bastards, you can f***well stay there!"
Haven't smoked for over 15 years.

Good on ya mate - hang in there. A few tips from someone who's done it.
Cold turkey is best. Don't try to give up - do it.
The psychological hurdle is the hardest. Once you've made that commitment to yourself that you're not smoking any more, it gets easier.
Buy rewards for yourself with the money saved.
Put extra effort into oral hygiene - mouth ulcers are common (your mouth is used to the germ-killing smoke).
Good luck.

A little O.T. - but why the fuck do people start in the first place?
Yet to hear a smoker say "Man this smoking is the shizz, I wish I'd taken up smoking years ago"...
Back on topic: Keep it up, I've never heard anybody regret giving up smoking - and think of the $$$ saved!

I remember i was in school with a mate when i started then when i moved to Welly and went to tech that's when i really got into it, maybe i thought it was cool, i did enjoy the head rush first though.
And thanks again guys.

But he is correct... "do not try, do or do not...there is no try."
I use to smoke 2 packs a day (was cheap in the navy) but when I left I couldn't really afford it so much and especially when I started cough up black green shit in the morning... I said fook that... so gave up cold turkey...
Most after the first couple of days is psychological and as every one has pointed out that, the hard part... but in the long run well worth it...
Good luck
