The Most Power-Drunk
Alright, car smoking is no excuse. If you're trying to quit, then you shouldn't have any smoky treats. So how the fuck do you smoke while driving? You either really gave in and bought a pack, or you had smokes in your car, which, if you hadn't figured it out, will greatly inhibit your chances of succeeding.

Cool, group therapy with the guys! OK. My name is Steve and I smoked for 17 years. I have been a recovering smoker for seventeen years tomorrow.
I tried quitting at least twenty times and made it to six or seven days. I found that the people I was around were begging me to smoke by that time and quickly fell off the wagon.
I did manage to quit for good, without a lot of pain. My plan took three stages.
First, I began a detox diet for four weeks. No red meat but chicken and fish, heavy on the gree veggies, fruit and nuts (mainly almonds). I drank 15 glasses of water a day during the period and tried to keep my smoking to a reasonable level (which was 20 as I normally smoked about 30 a day or more). But I smoked whenever I wanted one.
At the end of the month, I began to cut back on my smoking. I cut back from 20 a day to 10 a day by month end. Again, if I really had a craving I smoked but I tried to resist whenever I could and stayed basically on track while I steadily reduced during the month. I continued drinking 15 large glasses of water a day. I also began to take mega doses of vitamins and minerals, but not the oil-based vitamins that your body cannot excrete. And I began to jog.
The third month, still the second stage, I kept up this regime but I added exercise. I was quite overweight, so I had to walk two miles a day at the start and then gradually began to jog bits and pieces of each day but only as I felt comfortable.
By the end of the third month, I felt much better, greatly better as a result of the plan. My body had detoxed and I got a couple of bad colds and tummy bugs during the three months, but it was very much worth it. I was smoking about five cigarettes a day, and only when I really craved one. But I forgot about cigarettes most of the day and began feeling bad when I did smoke.
One should always discuss these things with a doctor. I did all of this because my doctor convinced me that the remaining nicotine and tar in the body is what makes it hard to quit. In fact, he told me to "f*ck off" unless I was prepared to quit working so hard and stop smoking.
He was convinced that one must go through a gradual detox to have any success of quitting, after smoking so long as I did.
At the end of three months, I entered the third stage and quit smoking altogether. I had lost about ten pounds during the previous three months and looked and felt better (I'm no visual prize so that is a relative looked better). If I had a craving, I chewed that nicotine gum and the craving would slowly dissipate and then I would forget about it. I chewed 8 gums the first day and stopped chewing the gum after 17 days. By that time I could run two miles (well, okay, run in slow motion) and I felt at least ten years younger than just three months before.
Tomorrow I turn 51. I don't miss it. I don't have any problem when others smoke. It is as if I never did.
In two months, I am hoping that this doggone hamstring injury will not return and that I will post my first sub-two hour half marathon in a really tough event that includes two climbs 200 yards up the side of a mountain over about a mile or mile and a half of running. It's real Iron Man stuff that I could never handle if I still smoked and it add so much to the quality of my life that I cannot estimate it.
I hope this will help you guys who want to quit to find a way to do it that doesn't send you to the unemployment line and divorce court! It can be done and I wish you the best of luck if you want to do it.

I'd have to agree about the cell phone thing though.

Look at the bright side. If you quit now, you won't ever look like this:

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.

I just realized that it's so bad for me that I need to just stop.... like NJ said about my kids, they're 2 1/2 now and in the next few years will be playing all kinds of sports and I don't need to be hacking up a lung after playing with them. Add in the money and that's just extra incentive to quit.
that's my plan.... my ears will hurt so bad I won't be thinking about a cigarette :)

I mostly just smoke when I am out drinking on the weekends, plus a cigarette when I am driving to and from work. I've been sick for a couple of days, so I haven't smoked at all, and I'm going to see how long I can take it from here. I didn't give up smoking for Lent, but it's a good time to try.

stx, that's the way my roomate is. He'll smoke 3 packs on the weekends and not even think about a cigarette durring the week unless he's drinking. I don't know how he does it.
I am sad say that I fell off the wagon a little last night
I went out drinking again last night and didn't make it, I had 3 cigarettes. Sorry guys

For shame. I hope you didn't sleep at all last night because of the guilt. I did not smoke any....but I didn't go drinking either. I'm scared of drinking. I'm afraid once I begin to drink it'll be like a bad tv show...I'll be good, until some hot bitch walks by with a smoky treat, and then it'll be like David Banner turning into the Incredible Hulk all over again.
*did I really type that? Man, I need to turn that "internal dialogue back on*
Anyways, Scarlet, I win our bet...you owe me $1000. We did bet....right?
