I'm free for 1 1/2 months

Read this
and
don't do it alone

I quit 2 months ago now - completely cold turkey. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't difficult. You have an addiction, and now it's time to stop that addiction.
Read Allen Carr's book - listen to the advice he gives in there - some will apply to you, some won't.

If you want to give up, if you want to break that addiction to the evil weed, you will!

Why has nobody mention Allan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking? OP THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF I smoked for 12 years, over a pack a day and tried everything, until I read this book. It was the only way I could free myself. It works, you'll quit and you will find it a PLEASURE to stop the moment you smoke your last one.

Please, do yourself the greatest favor you can and seek out this book. It's small, it's short (can be done in a day) and you will quit. Read the reviews to get some idea as to what it can do.

Good luck and all the best with the wedding and your marriage.

You're welcome.

I also thought of something else which might help you and your girlfriend understand each other better.

There is a very common misunderstanding between non-smokers and smokers, where non-smokers can't stand the smell of cigarettes and smokers don't believe them and see them as judgmental.

The answer to this is that in fact smokers' sense of smell is greatly diminished, they are used to the smell of cigarettes and also associate it with the pleasure they get from smoking (which is actually because they enter nicotine withdrawal).

Around two-three days after I crossed to e-cigs I started getting my sense of smell back. Food tasted much better, coffee was exceptional and also I could sense a smoker from a few meters away.
Because of that and because I get my nicotine from e-cigs I can't stand the smell of cigarettes and I can tell that somebody's been smoking even a few hours after they did.

Also, I read this book (well, the illustrated variant, since I was being lazy), and while I did not quit nicotine entirely, it did help me to stop seeing smoking as pleasure and rather as addiction.

Have a read of Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking - I smoked from 16 to 32 and gave up just over a week back, havent regretted a single moment of it, it's been really easy.

See if you can get your hands on a copy on Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking. This is by far the best and easiest way I have tried (and succeeded) for quitting the cancer sticks.

Good luck champ!

Allen Carr's book did it for me. Have tried on and off for years but this is the only thing that seems to have worked.

Been smoke free for about 3-4 months (don't really even remember the date I gave up) and don't crave them at all. The book is really good at getting in your mind that there is no such thing as "just one" cigarette.

People I know who have managed to quit recommend Allen Carr's book.

(Wow, that was a really clumsy sentence)

I would recommend Alan Carr; I found it a huge help.

Wrong. It's not day one.
It's the LAST day. Of you being a smoker.
There is no day one. You are not "starting" anything, you're just back to normal. Counting days is dumb and it could only mean "how many days I went through before lighting another one."
Just say fuck it and that's it.
I'm pretty sure someone already mentioned this book, if not - give it a read. It's not long and I highly recommend it. Here's a link to pdf.

Good luck.

Hey, good luck with giving up. I gave up for about 8 years after reading this book, from being about a 40 a day man. Just for full disclosure, I did start again (as a rational choice, not because I felt I had to believe it or not- work related). But have stopped again, for a few weeks this time via the same method. It's really easy, and I found it almost impossible before reading that book. It goes into detail of the psychology of smoking and how the feeling of self denial is what triggers the 'cravings' for cigaretts. Really interesting to read, even if you weren't a smoker.

For me, I modify it slightly, I use a regime of nicotine replacements to work my way through the physical addiction part of it, mainly because I can't afford the downtime of having a day or two being grumpy and feeling off.

I start off on the 4mg niquitin CQ lozenges as you can tailor the nicotine dose easily by 'shaving' bits of the tablet off (makes sense if you use them), then go down to the 2mg one. Then I go to the 4mg micro tablets (as they are more discrete, but you can't control the dose so effectively), then the 1.5mg version of them, then the 1mg lozenges and, by then, it's easy just to wean yourself off. I'm sure I could go 'cold turkey' over it, but my view is if we have the technology to make it less unpleasant then why not use it.

Anyways, good luck with that, really, that book and a graduated nicotine replacement programe work well for me, to the point it's easy to give up this way (and, for me, I find it staggeringly hard any other way), so, should you have difficulties, bear it in mind. There is no real downtime, and, once you get used to the 4mg tablets you end up preferring them to smoking, as you get your sense of smell and, to some degree, health back even whilst on them. Good luck, and yeah, contrary to what many people say, you do get out of it and never look back. That always worried me when I was trying to quit first time.

TL;DR, good luck, but if you have problems look at that book I recommended above, and think of a nicotine replacement regime. I couldn't give up any other way, but if you've found one, awesome. It does get easier and within a few months you should have forgotten you were ever even a smoker ;) Then it's super easy :)

giving up doesn't have to be this difficult. actually it doesn't have to be difficult at all, in fact , it's really easy to give up with the right mind frame.

what will give you the right mind frame to give up easily is reading this book.

let me tell you this, it's the best fucking book i have ever read , and without sounding preachy, i urge you to give it a try.

it just turns out the addiction from smoking is nothing more than a psychological one which is fear based. a fear of what life will be like without smoking. the rest is a insignificant physical addiction which passes out of your blood in 2 days.

what keeps people smoking is the belief that it's hard to give up, when in absolute fact , it isn't. it's really fucking easy with the right help.

read that book.

I have been a smoker for around 10 years..... A couple of years ago I watched my Grandma die from the big C (probably a result of smoking all of her life) and even after seeing someone I love go through hell it still did not stop me from smoking.

I hate everything about smoking tobacco but carry on doing it regardless.

Do you have any vices yourself? Drink? Drugs?

I hear a lot of people have luck with the Alan Carr book 'Easy way to stop smoking'. It is written by a man who smoked 40+ a day for a long time and is not based around scare tactics.

You should be able to find a PDF somewhere.

At the end of the day though, its up to your mom and if she doesnt want to stop herself she is not going to be able to do it for you or anyone else.

I like it when people make something that they know other people need. In this case I assume your father wanted one of those, and has great use of it.

If it were me, however, I would have given my father this.
