    I'm quitting smoking! Tips?

    Well, I'll be 29 at the end of December and have decided to quit the nasty habit.

    I have been smoking since I was in my early 20's.

    I'm looking forward to it but kinda scared it might be really hard.

    I'm a very active person and workout a few times a week (gym during winter and gym/cardio in the summer).

    This is my first attempt at quitting.

    Anyone here ever quit and have any helpful tips for when you get urges and such?

    Re: I'm quitting smoking! Tips?

    My husband quit cold turkey. He's only been in the habit for 4 years though and he was not a chain smoker or anything. But, basically, he just decided he's not going to do it anymore when he decided to marry me (I'm allergic to smoke). And, when he gets the urge, he chews mint gum or a lollipop and gives me a call. I guess it helps if you have some solid inspiration.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Find a quiet spot, grab your iPod, and listen to Deadmau5 until your craving subside!

    ^.^

    Your signature make me happy. In all honesty, I have never had a cigarette in my life, but I am glad that you have decided to stop. I support your efforts, and I hope you find some advice that aids in ending the habit for good!

    I have just discovered him in the last .. oh, 6 months or so. I like his style, and I love to support anyone that is doing their own thing ... making their own music and doing what they do well.

    Keep yourself busy, and remember that the hardest are the first 2 weeks, once 2 weeks have passed you will basically be over the nicotine addiction and the only thing left will be to get used to do things without a cigarette in your hand, good luck.

    PS: 3 years ago I quit after 16 years, so you can do it too.

    It took me three trys but I finally quit. I haven't smoked in 6 years! I would say stay away from alcohol! The cravings seemed ALOT worse after a couple drinks. Things to chew on like candy and gum seemed to help. Stay commited and you can do it! Food tastes so much better now and I can smell things I could'nt before.
