Party Vibe

Stopping smoking is easy, you just have to want to stop.

I stopped for many years but decided that actually I like a smoke from time to time (I’m an occasional smoker) so took it up again.

I have recently converted to one of those E-Cig thingies though. It’s pretty good. Smoking that instead of just fags. Nothing can replace the odd spliff here and there though.

Quote from a major quit smoking website

“Ready to quit smoking?
It doesn’t take strength or willpower to quit smoking.
It takes educated and supported dreams and desires!”

Are they gospel? Educated, supported dreams and desires? what does that exactly even mean?

will·pow·er or will pow·er (wlpour)
n.
The strength of will to carry out one’s decisions, wishes, or plans.

Wishes and plans sounds exactly like dreams and desires to me.

If you want to stop, you can stop. If in your mind you would like to stop but don’t fully commit then you are likely to relapse. I decided i wanted to quit opiates, felt rough as fuck for 4 days but i WANTED to get over the W/D and be back to normal, i succeeded. I found strength and willpower in myself to ride out the harshness of the W/D and kapow.. I’ve not touched any for a good 1-2 months.

I’ve had 2 this year, didnt even plan on giving up but wasn’t paying attention to how much baccy I had. Spent last of my money on NYE, so now I kind of have to give up, by the time I have any money again hopefully I wont really need to smoke.

I find its not that I crave cigarettes, i dont actively think ‘I really need a cig’ I’m more just rude with people and easily irritated and my friends say ‘I think you need a cig’

I didn’t need one until i saw this thread haha

gonna buy 1 of these ‘E cigs’ soon me thinks.. How much can i expect to pay for one

I gave up by instead of smoking a cigarette i would have a spliff… pretty stupid but i ended up running out of weed and when i did i just had no desire to smoke cigarettes cos they tasted like crap and i basically couldn’t get any more weed cos my dealer moved away (partially a mental thing of saying what’s the point of smoking cigarettes)… i stopped for about a month and then i went to egypt and i got pretty bored and ended up starting smoking again only cos it was a way of sort of blending in cos everyone there seems to smoke and every restaurant has an ashtray on the table or they’re trying to offer me shisha with my meal. Poor willpower right there, first few cigarettes were awesome ‘cos of the nicotine but after a while you get back into “What’s the point” again (well i did). I basically replaced the nicotine with the effect of being high or the THC… Not sayin’ it worked ‘cos im still smokin’ but for a time it did and i could have continued to quit, i would say more but don’t know if this would have worked for anyone else considering i was a bit of a pothead and i was supposed to cut down on weed which i have cos i can’t bring weed with me on the plane so i was pretty much forced to… Just sayin’

Best thing for you to do is, Make it one cigarette a day and smoke it at the end of the day. Then there after every other day.
