So I did a search, and couldn't find anything on it, but there used to be a quit smoking thread on here.

I'm sorta kinda in the middle of quitting smoking. In the last 27 days I've only had 1 cigarette. Although....I did replace cigs with dip/smokeless tobacco/wet snuff depending on where you live, it is called different things.

Anyway, come Nov 1st, my plan is to be off of that as well, and I was wanting to find the thread, so I can read other people's experiences on quitting.

Right now my biggest cravings come from when I drink, and yeah, I probably should cut back on the amount of alcohol I drink too.....but to many changes at one time can make a man go CRAZY I tell ya.

    5 days and counting for me. I have quit for 1-2 weeks many times before... but this is it. My baby boy is going to be old enough to remember me smoking here fairly soon. I have to break the cycle of smoking in my family.

    dude, get off the dip right away. I'm serious. I have dipped for quite a while now, and I would give anything to be able to quit. :(
    Peace, Love.

    I'm planning on this pack being my last. I finished a pack on monday, but there's too much going on this week for me to quit now. Come fruday though, it's on.

    cant bring myself to toss a perfectly good pack. plus i find out if i passed the bar exam friday morning and then get sent outta work in the morn to start celebrating... and i know if i start drinking at 10am ill be wanting a smoke in no time! so if i quit now, it'll end friday. better to just nurse this pack, finish it friday, and then let the nasty hangover block out cravings on day one ;)

    Yeah....I wish I never started doing dip, but I will admit that it helped me get off cigs, so now, on Sunday I'll see how it goes.

    As it stands right now, I get a little sick to my stomach when I smell cigarette smoke, so I'm pretty confident that I wont relapse to cigs, now if I can just get off the snuff! :)

    We quit the day we returned from the PJ show in Vienna 06.

    Have saved nearly $8,000.00 figuring a pack a day total for us.
    Just keep trying to quit. Took us a long time to make it stick.
    Hard to do but not impossible.
    Hold On

    I have not had a smoke in 5 days . I was a 2 pack a day smoker. not using a patch or anything but a friend gave me a book called the easyway to stop smoking. I found the book to be great. its was written by a 4 pack a day smoker who just one day stopped smoking and has not had one in many many years.

    that is almost the same thing with me except i just bought a new pack and realized that i didn't want to smoke anymore and just gave the whole pack to a co-worker. he finished the pack that same day just like i would have done too.
