The Synraii is trying to give up smoking thread.

rofl at most of the advice in this thread.

"hey i've never smoked, but here is how i think you can quit..."

myself, i've never been successful. the gum is fucking nasty and burns the hell out of your gums after a while. the patches made me get motion sick when i got in cars and unable to sleep from terrible, vivid nightmares (weird, i know, but it really is the strongest and most fucked up side effect.) the classes are full of idiots. i've quit for days at a time by getting sick or drinking too much and being unable to smoke, or being broke enough i could only have one or two a day...but quitting? lemme know if you figure it out.
 
In my opinion, you need to find something to quell the fixation.. the physical addiction to nicotine is just manning up the willpower to get through (and is not easy).

Learn something new. Take up a new hobby, preferably one that takes you away from a place you can get smokes.

I smoked for 3 months a pack a day and quit, so my experience is a little light, so take it with a grain of salt.

Hmm... Well I went to the pharmacy yesterday to pick up some patches - having seen the pricetag on them it would probably be cheaper to keep smoking rather than use them, so I was like fuck that XD.
Ordinary gum is a good idea though - when I get up, I'll defenitely pick some up. I know its really fucking sad but I've made myself a calender to tick off every smoke-free day and set rewards and stuff for myself for each week I manage. (Please don't laugh =P)
Oh and Docvizzo, that is motivation - I wouldn't want pieces of my face on your sexy footwear, lol.
I'll keep a tab of how I'm doing here I guess.
Thanks for the input guys! =)
 
Guitar hero is a good idea it can take up 2-3 hours per game (if you have more than one) but all i can say is keep busy and don't get lost in your thoughts because in this case they are your enemy
