Best part of first few days of quitting smoking

Yes that motivation is the biggest of all. He is the evilest most disgusting man. To imagine a 75-year-old man, nude under a thin and filthy sheet not covering his gray-hair-ringed third nip, having his wife take his oxygen out so he can smoke a Kool and somehow get ashes all over his sheet, body and FACE (face!). I have never hated a person so much as this man. And he smokes and I don't want to end up like him, a bastard yelling that someone needs to drive him to Juarez to get him more hydrocodone.

More on him here: Countdown to my crazy neighbors moving away

Nice! Keep at it. Apparently it gets loads easier after two weeks.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Motivation: don't want to end up like my evil emphysematic neighb w/3 nips

This whole sentence needs to be in quit smoking adverts.

Srsly anyone who meets him would want to do absolutely nothing he does.

He had jars of PEE next to his bed becaus he was too lazy or exhausted to get up. Fortunately they had lids on them.

Sometimes those had cig butts/ash in them too.

No wonder you want to quit smoking

Everything I see that even kind of reminds me of this man just fills me with hate. Like Jack Nicholson in "Bucket List" ads kind of has his vibe and my hackles GET UP.

My favorite part of the first few days of quitting smoking was that I'd get spontaneous rushes of chemicals that started flooding back out of my brain (seratonin? dopamine?). Also, my fingertips felt very relaxed.

But for poll purposes, I'll go with the $$$ thing.

Also, be very careful not to substitute snacking as a hand-to-mouth fixation. That is what I did and it has worked out poorly for me.

I think it's more of a nicotine addiction plus, to a lesser extent, an excuse to step outside. For me.

Srsly is it common to be totally sore and basically sick and tired the first 3-6 days?

isn't your food supposed to taste better or something?

i think so, eventually, probably not in the first few days

The first time I quit it tasted weirder. But lord only knows.

Like Frank Zappa said he started smoking again bcz he realized everyone smelled terrible.

the best part for me was how soundly I slept. really really nice sleep.

otm about sleep. also smelling things again. not always necessarily a good thing.

abbot doesn't smell things anyway, right?

No I do not. But I am paranoid as hell that I am always giving off the stink-lines so now I know that in like, what, half a year my clothes will not smell like Pengilly's Saloon.

I am quitting in < 2 months. Gonna try to start counting smokes, and easing my way down.

i do the counting thing
i also tried to quit last week and failed. way too much stress this month.

im going to miss the excuse to step outside real bad

right on right on abbott.

The £££ thing can be countered by smoking roll-ups, which are far cheaper, taste nicer and are only about as bad for you as a cup of tea!*

*Total lie

my sense of smell never returned after i quit smoking

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I have the kind of job where I can step outside whenever I want, and the image of being the peculiar person who would take liberties to do so. I like to step outside to S-T-R-E-T-C-H.

lol at "colony of mollusks"
