Dude you are in for one hell of a ride, for me it was roughly 2-3 months of feeling like I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown coupled with a mental breakdown, literally felt like I was loosing my mind and was gonna snap, hey other than that "piece of cake" nothing to it.
 
I am going to do some online racing for awhile. "Live For Speed"....awesome racing simulator if you like that kind of stuff. There is a free multiplayer demo, but it sucks compared to the S2 version. Get the game and a wheel/pedals for the computer and you are set.
 
I quit two weeks ago cold turkey after smoking for over 40 years. I smoked more than a pack a day. You can't find a picture of me on the org without a smoke. I agree 100% with the people that have said you REALLY must want to quit to get r done. I still have the urge, but no way will I light up another. I know I have been a bear for my wife to live with the last two weeks, I'm sure she doesn't know how hard it is and how it makes you want to go off over the smallest thing. I think I have the smoking licked, just hope the marriage survives!

I've been smoking for more than 6 years...and I am going to stop tomorrow. I started on a weight loss pill called Relacore, got it at Walmart just to try out, and...I didn't want to smoke. Each time I tried, it made me kinda sick but I didn't have the urge after a few days, didn't even think about it. Maybe it was just me. Hopefully it will help...the only bad part is, as a side effect it gives me crazy gas! lol...drink alot of water, chew gum, find something to occupy the time to keep from getting bored and thinking about it. To get rid of the after-meals craving, brush your teeth.

Since I just had a child in the hospital with breathing and heart problems...I don't want her visiting me there eventually for something I can control now. Good luck everyone...

Well what little I know about you (or any racer), you just need to focus on your goal... I got faith in you!!

(oh btw, I picked up Smokey Yunnick .com as an account this last week! His daughter runs that show now)
 
Auriculotherapy ..... it is what made my dad quit after 40+ years.. and he smoked Lucky Strike NON FILTERS! It is where they schock a certain part of your ear and it gets rid of the cravings. I know it isn't available everywhere but it is in the St. Louis area.. and it is GUARANTEED... if the first shock doesn't work, they'll do it again until it does. He says it doesn't hurt.. less than a static electricity shock.

He still thinks he needs something in his hands ... so he carries a pen all the time.. but he has no nicotine cravings, no bad moods, no uncontrollable eating. And the Doc says his health has improved tremendously (He is 61)

Or I could always send my mom to come live with you. She is on her second round of Chemo to kill the Stage 4 Lung Cancer she has and she has Emphysema on top of it. It is not pretty to see a woman who was strong, independent, happy, and beautiful be turned into something that looks kind of like pin head and not be able to walk up a flight of stairs without turning blue.The emphysema is even making her fingernails turn into claw like things.. it is creepy and sad. I have been there with the chemo and the radiation but unfortunately she has to take the pain by herself.

If you have a family, think about them every now and then... your family is going to be the one who is left behind when you kill yourself smoking (But then again this is the same speech I get except insert "Racing" for smoking)

Okay

I have been trying to quit this past week. My wife finally had enough and told me to go buy a pack. I guess I am hard to live with for the first 3 days. This sucks, I hate something having that much control over me. Besides, I would feel bad for Semi at the meet and greets when he has no one to smoke with!

But seriously, I would like to be around for a long time, and not saying that quitting smoking will make be live longer, but it will sure help my chances. I have tried the gum, tried the patches, and quit cold turkey. I always come back to it. Now I have limited myself to 2 or 3 a day, but this isnt working either. I hate being a smoker

Get yourself some tootsie pops or something like that. Keep something in your mouth. No you have much of a choice thanks to our dictator Governer. What an azzhat.
 
Come on Rune, lets try to HELP him here. I mean, seriously. A guy wants to quit smoking....support him instead of making it harder.

On that note, I'm gonna go have a smoke...
