Day 3 really looking for some happy stories, struggling over here.
>How long/much did you smoke
>How many tries did it take you until you stuck with it
>Do you still think about smoking?
>Did you switch to ecigarette before quitting?
>Or did you quit cold turkey?

Was smoking for three years, tried quiting cold turkey and failed. Tried again, havent smoked in five years. Its literally all in the brain man. Just gotta keep telling yourself no when you get the urge. Its the same with any addiction. Mind over matter. Its harder than it sounds, but everyone is capable. You just have to be able to tell yourself no. Its like forcing yourself not to scratch a bug bite, because the more you do, the more it will itch.
Quoting an addiction is the best discipline you can learn. Complete this and you will be a lot stronger.
Keep your stick on the ice. We're all in this together.
>also, ecigs are better for you, but they do not remove the addiction. They just move you to an ecig addiction and make you more prone to addiction in the future. I wouldn't do it

thanks man, this is what I need. And that picture of goku oddly helps too
I've quit a couple times but I'm back on rollies.
Every time I quit I replaced the addiction and soon I couldn't supply that new addiction, like getting a frape every time I craved. The entire process of driving, buying, and waiting for the frap cured me for that time being.
I was actually fine until I fell into stress and started vaping again. I was even warned but thought I could handle it. I was clean 3 months.
So quit, try to remove the excess addictions when you can, and whatever you do keep from being stirred by your mind saying you need it. Even if your dealing with a stressful situation, you never need it.

Eventually after some convoluted events she went to a boarding-school-ish rehab place. Everyday she swears up and down that her life is a million times better than it was while she was using and drinking.
Not a smoking story (she still smokes), but she did quit something (almost everything).
On a side note, my mom stopped drinking and smoking and my dad stopped drinking during this period, in order to try to improve the situation for my sister.
