Quitting cold turkey as hard as hell man. I did try it that way a few times, two days here, 4 days there, and by God it is the hardest thing ever...especially when you're driving or after a big meal.

lol@aHole jotz.

It's Monday, and still no patches. I might pick them up after the game tonight.

the reason i say cold turkey works best is this... i have quit using the patch before. i didn't smoke for several years until i started dating a smoker and got back into it again. this last go around, i quit cold turkey without any help. i think that way is better because it shocks the system so much that when you finally get over your need of a cigarette, you can't even imagine wanting to smoke again. your body almost helps you reject it. that's been my experience

that sounds like something essential that the body would do, yet the hardest part for me would be getting to that stage. I want to get to the point where cigarettes will make me barf. one of the hardest things is seeing other people smoke. when I tried quitting those couple of days, i saw other people smoke. I threw my cigarettes away, and yet saw these other people smoke and bummed one off of them when i got the chance. really stupid move.

also, be aware that you will probably end up trading one vice for another. when i quit smoking, i end up eating a lot for the first couple months.

most people do. I swear when my uncle stopped smoking, he went from a waist 32 to 590.
Getting fat/huge/blobbed is the last thing I want. If anything, I would trade smoking for working my ass of at the gym. That, too, is a challenge in itself.

Just smoke even more pole, but that's also a challenge.

Yeah I quit drinking pretty much cold turkey. It helps though if you get seriously ill for a week every time you get drunk.
