So I haven't had a cigarette for 2 weeks, and I can finally say I am done with that disgusting, vulgar, nasty, STOOOOPID! fucking habit.
But I tell you, nicotine withdrawal is nothing but a great big pain in the ass!
I have had a constant fucking headache for about 4 days now. Im really hoping it goes away soon.
Other than the headache I haven't really had any other problems. Have not craved a cigarette, have not had any anxiety, blah blah blah.
Quitting is obviously something I should have done a long long time ago. Better late than never?

I have friends of mine who are doing the electronic cigarette thingamajiggy. Personally I think its ridiculous. The shit has nicotine! I realize it doesn't have the carcinogens that a normal cigarette has, but still, isn't that just something else they are going to have to quit further down the road? Ya know what I mean? Why not just QUIT cold turkey, and be DONE with it? But to each their own.
And I truly don't miss the cigarettes, I don't crave them, its not on my mind 24 hours a day...Not smoking is NOT making me crazy. Ive just had enough of feeling like shit. Its been 2 weeks and I am feeling a little better physically(other than the pounding fucking headache). And mentally I feel GREAT! I FINALLY quit the most ridiculous habit known to mankind.

There are still certain situations I absolutely crave a smoke. Drinking, hanging with certain friends who sidebar outside for a few minutes (which I like to do), tailgating, road trips. Those situations the vape cig comes in handy

Gives credence to "when there's a will, there's a way".
Hope the headpounding eases up soon, and wish you luck and strength.
Curious - has the quitting affected your skin? It fucked with mine at the time, with the toxins being released.
And started again
Ughjjjjj

Your health scare was a BIG REASON why I quit smoking.
What happened to you scared the fuck out of me.

I quit 3 years ago after smoking for 30+ years. Used the patch. Once in awhile I'll get a 5 second craving out of the blue, but then it's gone.
Dont let your brain fool you into believing you can just have just one or your fucked. Stay strong, youll appreciate it later.

As I quit smoking in summer 2007 (after a little cold) I told myself everyday that I got one more day and it would be stupid to take a cigarette. "Don´t be silly you can make it one more day!" After 3 weeks I took one breath/ pull (sorry, don´t know the right word) and it hurts so much in my lungs that I immediately knew I would never try it again!
So I hope everytime you think about smoking only one cigarette again, you will tell yourself that it would just be too stupid to do that! You don´t need other help - only your pride!
(sorry for my poor english)
Oh, and congratulations for this 2 weeks!
The headache will just go away soon and hey, be careful - all this good things taste sooo much better now...
Now you deserve some more PJ goodies !!! \:D/
I do want one. But it's very easy not to in social situations with my vape. Don't want that to be a habit though.
I tell myself I'm not a smoker and it feels good. I also tell myself not to waiver and I have to treat it like heroin. No turning back
GOOD LUCK SPEEDY!!
