Quitters in Their 20's

[temptation]

You are not kidding. I have stopped drinking for this first month of quitting smoking. Although I'm only on day 6 today not drinking has definitely hellped. I must spend AT LEAST 2 days a week meeting friends at a bar. I think the smell coming off smokers is repulsive enough to keep anyone from smoking.

Hello, I'm 28 and I was a smoker since I was 15. This is around my 8th or 9th attempt to quit.

I went to my doctor and am now on the patch and lozenges. I have my list of reasons posted all over my apartment. And as I am writing, it is my second day smoke free.

I have been going through a lot of pretty major (positive) changes over the past year and a half and quitting smoking is high on the list. I finally feel like I am truly ready to be smoke free and am doing everything in my power to make it so.

I'm on this site for support and to help others through their quit. I do believe there is strength in numbers.

Hey all, my name is Nick. I am 27 and have smoked consistantly since I was 12. Yesterday was the beginning of trying to un-do a 15 year habit. This has got to be at least my 6th shot at quitting. I have tried patches and gum and they just remind my mind and body of the nicotine I am missing. I have tried e-cigs but almost immediately I felt that method was hypocritical. I have tried chantix and was lucky enough to have the psychotic dreams that are side effects of the med. This time I'm cold turkey...not quite 24 hours into it and im losing my mind...pissed at everything, anxious for nothing.
