It's suppose to feel like shit. You're are sweating buckets right now too, or will be. Your body is getting rid of all that waste in shit. Tthis is what you deserve. You'll feel like shit for a while but it will pay off in the long run. did you learn your lesson?

uh yeah potentially I think

you at least need to find a replacement thing

try chewing on bark

>>38720929
how does it exactly feel so i would never have to experience it?

>>38720929
OP, you gonna end up getting chills and sometimes uncontrollable shaking. You're gonna feel like death. Don't give up. You can do it. I quit because some dumb faggot I knew did and the thought that some drug addict retard kicked the habit while I couldn't motivated me to go cold turkey. Haven't smoked in 7 months now.

You know what would make you feel better, friend? A delicious cigarette. I surely enjoy smoking cigarettes, oh yes.

>>38720968
don't give me shit pls I knew it was stupid but my dad made me smoke since I was like 13 because of some stupid family tradition YES WE ARE RETARDED

>>38720972
I got chewing gum but it really doesn't help at all

>>38720983
just a very intense craving for now. Like, really bad. I've been coughing a bit too.

Apparently the first 72 hours are the harderst
49:50 to go

tfw only smoked on nights out and not enough to get addicted, yet a lot of people I know became addicted

>>38721027
>OP, you gonna end up getting chills and sometimes uncontrollable shaking. You're gonna feel like death.
HOW LONG DID THAT LAST FOR YOU

>>38721044
Smoking a cig right now, sitting on my porch, just taking in the warm summer night. Just had some food earlier

Post-meal cigarette is best cigarette

>>38721028
>>38721145
reading these kind of things doesn't make me want to smoke any more than I do now tbqh

>>38721178
Oh yeah? Go fuck yourself, OP. I hope you cave.

Sparking another one up for you, fucker.

>>38721132
Two weeks? It's not constant but it would come randomly and I'd have to hold myself to regain my composure.
You have the power to quit, OP. It's all about discipline.

>>38721145
>smoking after eating
>not eating cigarettes
Fucking nancy boys these days.

OP, most people relapse and that's ok. Cold Turkey is hard. If you do relapse get nicotine patches and ease off friend. Good luck

I was trying to quit a week ago but i realised its fucking retarded for someone thats suicidal to quit smoking.

Good luck anon

>>38721206
actually, keep it up. It motivates me to keep going, for some reason.

>>38721276
>it's all about discipline
welp

>>38721290
I'm not sure if nicotine patches would make it that much easier. The craving is bad, but the oral anxiety is the worst so far.

Two weeks. You go through hell for two weeks. It gets better after that, but expect to have dreams about smoking for another month or so after. And then another couple of months of occasionally finding yourself wanting a cigarette. Snd then it's pretty much over.

Thing is, though: once you've been a smoker, vypu never really quit, you're just between cigarettes. It's been three years since I quit and every now and then I still feel an urge - it's just really easy to resist now.

>he fell for the cigarettes are unhealthy meme

>>38720929
If you end up relapsing, (which I hope you don't), then you should consider using a vape to taper down your nicotine dosage until you are vaping 0%, and then slowly phase that out too. I know many people who have used it to quit. Just because hipster faggots vape to look "cool" doesn't mean it isn't a useful tool to quit.

>>38721358
ok, thanks, anon. I was hoping the hell part would last less than that but I guess I'll have to get through it.

>>38721381
honestly I don't give a shit about my health, as this anon said >>38721335

the reason I want to quit is because smoking a pack a day becomes expensive quickly

Also morons ITT if you wanna quit easy just get a cheap vape (good ones for about 30$) and a 10-18mg vape liquid.

>>38721419
>smoking a pack a day becomes expensive quickly
Roll your own brah.
It's like 20$ per week tops.
Fukkken brainlet autistist i swear

>>38721417
thanks for the advice anon
my mom replaced cigarettes with weed but I don't know if I want to go down that route (nothing against weed, but it just feels like jumping from one addiction to another)

>>38721471
It's not a terrible idea, the withdrawal from a marijuana addiction is nothing like nicotine. Ultimately you will need to break the habit of inhaling hot gas into your lungs though, which might be just as hard as getting over the drug's addiction itself.

>>38721419
Yeah smoking is heaps fucking expensive, depending on where you are in the world. Im pretty keen to start growing my own, its called chop chop here

>>38721419

3 days is the big milestone, that's when you'll get over the worst of the physical symptoms. I also quit cold turkey, was smoking at least a pack a day of lucky strikes no filter. That was 7 years ago, haven't had a cigarette since. Still have a good cigars every couple months, but it's an enjoyment thing over a need.

>>38721510
Ok I know my mom has weed so I might give that a try if it gets impossibly hard

>>38721527
How long did you smoke before quitting?

I've been smoking for 2 years, and can easily go without smoking. Especially if its only a day or two. How heavy of a smoker were you OP?

At the most you should be feeling irritated, not feeling like you're going through opiate withdrawal

>>38721417
I actually was too much of a pussy to smoke, so I got into it by vaping and chewing gum. I moved onto cigarettes after I was willing to damage my lungs to get nicotine.

>>38721622
a pack a day I've said it many times DONT MAKE ME ANGRY

>>38721583

Smoked a pack a day for about 3.5 - 4 years, a half pack a day for another two years before that.

>>38721676
Have you felt better since quitting? Did you gain weight? Sorry for asking too many questions, I'm just typing non stop to keep my hands and brain busy

Try going on nofap for a week, then make this thread.

>>38721668
>DONT MAKE ME ANGRY

Just go get some nicotine gum or patches or a vape or some shit dude

OP is a faggot confirmed
mute muh dick filter

>>38720929
I'm 2 weeks clean, anon. Hang in there. If you're a sperg like me even nit having constant anxiety about whether or not you're gonna die from smoking will be worth it.
I believe in you bud. You can do it. And cold turkey is the best method imo.
We're gonna make it.

I've gone nearly 6 years.

smoke some weed op it helps

>>38721348
>The craving is bad, but the oral anxiety is the worst so far.
Lollipops help
Or even using a pen and pretending you're smoking

That said, what is your opinion on Djarum Blacks?

Cool dude. You did the mental equivolent of saying no thank you when someone offers you a bacon cheeseburger.

>b-but muh addiction!

No dude. Whomstever thinks that smoking is actually addictive should be spayed and neutered.

>>38721873
Not him, but I fucking like Djarum Blacks. Vanilla is my shit. That being said, they're not for everyone but if you like a strong clove flavored cigarette that crackles and pops you'll enjoy em

>>38720929
YOU CAN DO THIS ANON

I'm on day 4 of my quit. Day 5 at midnight tonight.

Cold turkey is the way to go. You basically just need to get through 3 days and things start getting better. You can do this. NOT ONE FUCKING PUFF

Toss those lighters if you haven't already.

>>38721726

Feel much better, don't get sick nearly as much. Gained a bit of weight, but can't really tell. I work a labor intensive job, 6'1" 210 so I'm not ripped or have a guy, just solid, gained maybe 10 pounds. Worst part about quitting is that many of the guys I work with smoke, so it was just a matter of not caving in to the craving the first week or so.

>>38721873
OP here. I've never tried Djarum Blacks, actually.
But yes, I'm sucking on a spoon right now. It helps.

>>38721922
So you're past day 3 already? Did you feel it was easier today?

You are always going to have cravings for the rest of your life. If you manage to make it more than a few days/weeks, you'll find yourself instinctively reaching for a cig. You'll develop an oral fixation because you're so used to having something in your mouth. People who have quit often cave and go back to smoking even years later. That shit permanently fucks you up and you'll never be totally "clean."

ok? I don't want to be the picture of purity anyway, who cares if I'll think about having one from time to time?

>>38720929
>HOLY FUCK CAN I ACTUALLY DIE BECAUSE OF THIS?
No, actually alcohol is the only drug where the withdrawal can literally kill you. What you're feeling now is just the real reason to get off that shit.

If you're shitposting on 4chan and jacking off to anime lolis, you're doing the right thing.
Willpower might be like a muscle, but it's also finite. Give your decision 100%.

>>38721957
>So you're past day 3 already? Did you feel it was easier today?
Yes. Today was much easier for me mentally and emotionally.

This quit actually took place one day after another failed quit and a relapse. Only made it to day 2 that time. Both on the failed one and on this one, day 2 was the hardest for me.

I got a 200 bag of lollipops and some non-nicotine gum a few days ago, and the past 4 days have just been me walking, lying in bed, drinking Gatorade, and eating popsicles. Still get ting a few strong impulses to smoke a day, but they only last like a minute.

>>38721846
>bro, it's fucking cigarettes stop acting like youre a heroin junkie

Cigarettes are as addictive as heroin.

>>38722120
>if i post a buzzfeed meme i'll debunk his entire argument

nice try, cigarettefag. Not this time though.

>B-B-BUT... THEIR ADDICTIVE..
No, their the addictive equivolent of cotton candy. Just put down the stick moron, it's that easy.

>>38722120
OP here
don't reply to the troll pls

>>38721909
My man, Djarum Blacks are the shit. I'm with that menthol flow right now but I'm thinking of switching it up to something else. Maybe I'll try vanilla.

You should just smoke as many as possible tonight

>>38722073
You might also want sunflower seeds. I remember that guy in Holes that ate them to help him quit.

>>38720929
My mom gave up smoking forever when she found out she was pregnant with me

Been 23 years and going

>>38722150
Fine. Just to make things easier on you.

>>38722207
My mom smoked when she was pregnant with me.

>>38722065
You actually can't die from opiate withdrawal, no. You'll feel like a dildo reaming a fat guy's ass for a long time but quitting heroin cold turkey won't kill you. People frequently die from quitting, losing tolerance, then relapsing and ODing by taking their old dose though, that's the most common source of heroin overdose IIRC.

Same thing with benzos, I've heard of people quitting cold turkey and the withdrawal making them feel so bad they commit suicide, but the withdrawal itself can't kill AFAIK.

With alcohol though, if you're a real long-term alcoholic the clinics will step you down gradually and make sure you've always got some beer on hand just in case, because the body adapts and you can actually die from alcohol deficiency until you stage down.

good luck OP. smoking a decade, managed to quit for a year and went about it using patches and nicotine-free cheap shit vape and that was difficult enough. It definitely does become easier, wanting a cigarette becomes a passing thought and not an exercise in restraint but you can still feel the need for a cigarette even a year later should the situation call for one.
keep strong bud

>>38722205
already did that on my so far last night of smoking
>>38722206
I love sunflower seeds, actually. I'll give them a try

>>38721899
>good genes
Can you maybe fuck off bud? Not everyone is as lucky as you are

>>38722120
maybe in terms of frequency of use and the need to do it constantly, but the dependency and withdrawal symtoms pf tobacco are like a runny nose compared to the full blown AIDS of heroin withdrawal.

It really is as easy as tricking your brain by psyching yourself that you dont need cigarettes, because all the pleasure you're getting from them is the relief of satisfying a craving. Also, a supplement called NAC can greatly ease cravings by restoring your dopamine levels to normal levels, so all you're left to suffer is the slight pangs and boredom, which effectively makes it as easy as quitting soda and replacing it with water.

So anyway, no excuse to keep smoking cigarettes if you want to quit or its draining your savings. It's still nice to have a cig while baked or drunk.

>>38722240
thank you, anon. I hope you can stay away from them, for as long as you want to, anyway

>>38722225
Benzos share nearly the same withdrawal symptoms of Alcohol, so heavy use stopped suddenly can cause seizures, a coma, and death. People who can quit cold turkey either casually used them with weed or didn't use them for long enough to create a huge tolerance and dependency. It is very dangerous to quit heavy, frequent long term us of Benzos.

>>38722432
Huh. I stand corrected then.
