Apparently the first 3 days are the hardest, then the cravings just fall away

Same for me well actually now that my intoxicated mind remembers it was yesterday.

Stick with it man.  I getting urges like never before (I've quit once before but I took up smoking when I went to Africa, smokes were cheap and I was smoking before I went because I had no idea what I'd get myself into).

If someone opened a pack in front of my though It'd be rough not to ask for one.

I fell of the quitting wagon.   : (

Was getting gas and I stopped and stared at the inside of the gas station and I heard my 20 little buddies calling, I heeded the call. Oh man the first cig was good.  I am a weakling.

Don't beat yourself up about it, the average smoker takes 5 serious attempts to quit.

Just keep trying, and make sure you don't fall straight back to smoking however many you used to smoke.

The booze finally got to me.

Had one (well half, I got halfway through then threw it away in disgust) last night.

Haven't bought a pack though.

That still count?

yeah that's still an accomplishment. my friend is trying to quit too. he still smokes 3 or more cigs a day (down from 20-25). i really am astonished that i haven't even had one yet. i think watching my dad die really sinks the thought in my head (even though it's not smoking-related), and when i was at the ER with him a couple weeks ago, there was a guy with emphysema right next to us; shit wasn't pretty...

BUT

I don't need/want to smoke when I'm just on my own and shit, only when I'm out drinking and shit. I suppose it is an addiction, but not a total addiction/total nicotine dependency. I do it for the slight headrush you can get when coupling it with drinking, you know, that lil extra buzz. But they're nice too

yeah it's all good man. it will build and build, and eventually, you'll be buying a pack everyday. it's a shitty thing; just quit while you're ahead.

Ditto. The man laughed at doctors. "Pfft! Cancer in the lungs. They don't know what they're talking about!" Boy, was he wrong. A red pack of non-filtered North cigs a day makes wonders.
