i quit dipping last week... it sucks... i hate coming back from the gym or from a run and not being able to rock a dip afterwards... ive been mowing through sunflower seeds and jawbreakers... so much so that i think im going to pass an everlasting sunflower. I SHALL PREVAIL!!!

has anyone else quit anything? if so, did you substitute it with something else or did you just slash it out of your life?

I stopped smoking yesterday

I can't stop eating!

I don't know what to do with my hands !

I haatttteee it!

that sucks... nicotine withdrawal is no joke...

I've tried to stop smoking a few times & you are right you substitute eating for smoking.....that & I become a nut case

Sex
Masturbation


Well...you asked!

its just so weird, you never quit anything once youve started, you just substitute.

i know what you mean... i almost wigged out at chipotle yesterday cuz he kept asking me to repeat myself.

Day 3 on not smoking. So, I'm eating more. Back in the 90's I quit chocolate, and got addicted to sex. Gave up sex; went to smoking & wine. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I quit smoking in 1998 and at first, I too went through a ton of sunflower seeds so that I wouldn't gain a lot of weight eating other stuff. Then after quite a while I got to the point that I was able to drop the sunflower seeds. A few things to remember... A) the nicotine fit usually only lasts a few minutes (About 3) and then it goes away. Put your mind on something else for that short period and before you know it the nicotine fit is gone. B) Nobody died from NOT using nicotine... even if the joneses (fits) do make you feel like it sometimes. C) Act as if... whenever you think of tobacco just act as if you don't use. It's so much easier if you think of being a non tobacco user than if you think "I'm trying to quit". The I'm trying to quit approach has a certain amount of negativity to it, whereas I don't dip or I don't smoke is really supportive and affirmative.

I am in a twelve step program for alcohol abuse and am also an addict in recovery, ergo, I had a lot of practice with these things before I cut out the caffein and the tobacco, but it works on any addiction, I think.

Best of luck to you my friend... you can lick the habit!

I think if I had more sex I'd smoke less. I never smoke in the bedroom.

I like the sex addiction the best!!

thanks man. im trying. the first 3 days were awful.

i would think that sex would make you want to smoke MORE

just from what i have heard....ionno, guess it would for some people

Funny I heard that you do "smoke" in the bedroom

I LIKE you... you have a cute mind!

hhhmmmmmm...as opposed to an ugly mind??

just wondering

It'd be nice to substitute smoking for sex

Smoking is an addiction therefore if you quit you are in most cases going to replace it with another addiction. Some people just have addictive personalities and seem to have to have one addiction or another.

GEEEEEEZ..... put em together............SMOKIN HOT SEX.............gr8 for the blood pressure.........
