i quit smoking, but.... Options

[*Weird addiction*]

Ok, finally, i quit smoking, its a LONG story but i decided that life is SO darn special. Basically, i haven't smoked for like a week, which is wierd, totally wierd and abnormal. I used to be a cigarette freak, sometimes i smoke 1 packet a day. I've been smoking for 3 yrs now. Blah blah, i quit. BUT i'm having serious headaches, my stomach hurts like hell, i'm always tired, sometimes i even feel like vomitting. I talked to my sister and she thinks i have cancer , my friends think i'm dying . And i can't stop thinking about cigarettes, lol. My dad tempts me intentionally , he gives me money to buy cigarettes, lol ( i take the money and keep it ), he thinks i'm still smoking .

I've tried almost everything to make me stop thinking about cigarettes, i've watched porn (but eww, it gets tiring), i've been on cB a lot, but i just can't stop thinking about cigarettes, lol. I seriously want to quit but hehe i kinda need help.

Does anyone know anything that can occupy me (ive even tried thinking about boys, lol but err doesn't work either).

My mom suggested jogging but i think i'm slim enough, jogging isn't really my thing. So yeah, i need help, lol.

[*paul murphy*]

YEAH! Good 4 u, cos if u ever smoked around me my weak lungs wudn't be able 2 take it. So well done.

First off, Congratulations! Hmm...ever think about going to a phycologist (sp?) or something, cuz maybe they could give you better tips. But anywho...maybe take up a sport or join a club, maybe that'd take your mind off the cigs.

Thanks...that's a start

[AngelTears]

Good thing you stopped.

Smoking is horrible, and gross ick.

Anyways.

Try finding things you can do with your hands? Like.. I dont know.. play an instrament? And play it a lot?

I dont really know, just a thought.

Lol, ive got no instruments to play but thanks anyways

[Rachel]

Hmm....Well you JUST quit, give your body sometime to get over the addiction. Why don't you just watch T.V. or knit or something idk...haha

[KELLYYY]

Um, maybe join some club or focus on school a lot? I dunno. *shrug*

first off, you should go see a doctor about it.
i think its normal you are behaving this way, because you havent smoked for a while and your body is reacting this way because your body wants the chemicals in the ciagrette.

^ Play either of those.

[racoons > you]

learn to cook. it occupies time, and you get a reward at the end, in the finished product.
proviede of course, that it turns out edible

[someflipguy]

Chew gum, bite your nails, do something to occupy your fingers.

Dat was my problem. havent had a cig in about two weeks.

[xxtaintedlips]

GOOD FOR YOU!!!
I know that it is hard to stop smoking...but keep it up..have you ever thought of a nicterine patch?? Ya the head aches and stuff but within a week or so that will go away...

[to-devastate]

Oooh Good job!
Well. My dad is quitting smoking too. He bought a patch and it seems to work.
Chew a lot of gum and try to find something interesting to do. Like afterschool, get a job or join a club or something. It should get your mind off them.
Best wishes.

[*jooleeah*]

Join groups that help you quit smoking and stuff. Maybe you should find a friend that's trying to quit smoking too, so that way you can talk to her/him about it and relate to her/him. What's your hobby? If you have one, then maybe you could do that every single time you think about smoking. Er, hope that helps.

[Eryi]

instead of smoking, find a differ habit.

[*Statistik*]

burn ur cigars

[*mzkandi*]

chewing gum...i dont know my friend said chewing gum and sex works *shrugs*

[Shattered_Hope]

Congrats.....give yourself time...to quit it entirely....join a club, do some sports...volunteer...there's alot of things you can do...and soon...you'll be able to quit smoking entirely.

[miss barnes]

get the patch

[twelveislands]

Congratulations on giving up

Them ill feelings are just withdrawal symptoms since your body has to get used to not getting its normal nicotine and other chemicals that it would get from smoking.

Go to your doctor and see they can give ya any tips on helping ya.

[starlette]

Good job on quitting. Something to be proud of. BUt these things you are going thru, this is what makes people start smoking again. You arent dying, but you are going thru some hardcore withdrawal symptoms. I just try eating lots of vitamins (fruits veggies) keep yourself busy as much as possible. Avoid sitting still. Avoid going to places with smoking sections. Try going out to dnner or something, somewhere you cant smell cigarettes and somewhere you cant get your hands on some. Just stay strong and dont give up.

[~*Crizzy_Babee09...]

That's gud that yew stopped smokin! {{{Applause}}}. If you think yew hav problems, juss go see a doctor. Maybe you're havin these symptoms cuz your body'z tryN ta get used to itself without cigarettes. You're emptyin out all that bad stuff I guess.

[swe3ttemptasian]

Congrats.. you just stopped like that?! That's really impressive.. considering you just stopped.. and you smoked for years. But ask a doctor? IDK.. but I would run.. but you're slim.. so maybe.. go out and have fun

[ItzOnlySydney]

i have battled with smoking also. i smoke off and on for the past year or so. i can quit for a few weeks but the cravings keep coming back. it's very annoying. but congrats to you!

[xhiddenemotion]

first off, CONGRATS !!! im so happy for you (:
maybe you can lift weights or something. get a pass to lifetime if you can. the weather is getting good oustide, go chill on the niehgboorhood playgroud or something.
watch more porn if you have to. haha just kidding, u might wanna stop that.
what i really like doing to keep myself from uh.. lets just say a bad habit of mine, is to write out my feelings. make a story about a character and base them on you, or write poetry. it doesn`t have to rhyme, just make it flow - straight from the heart. if you ever wannna chat about writing, pm me (:

[[o0p]]

when someone quits smoking it can be the hardest thing to do..so good job (:*

[DanielleMaria05]

Try gum... that seems to work for my dad. You have an oral fixation. Like you need to have something in your mouth. Candy works too..

Yay for you for quiting!! It's hard, but I'm sure you can do it!

[eli5e]

congrats for u on the quit.. i needa quit soon too =x

[aicilah999]

YAY!!!!!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!! SMOKING IS STUPID CUZ ITS HORRIBLE FOR UR LUNGS AND THE SMOKING SMELLS BAD!

okay chew gum...it occupys ppl..its hard to quit something u get addicted to..CONGRATS! yeah..go see a doctor and it might help ya some more on quiting

[Just_Dream]

Congratulations! I'm glad you decided to quit. It's really hard to, I heard. Other people would just go and find another addiction. Your symptons could be a sign of something serious. Go see a doctor! Also, your father shouldn't be influencing you to smoke.

Try to eat healthier... Get your body into shape. Don't slim down.. I mean exercise regularly. Isn't it hard to breath, since you've been smoking for a long time? Seriously, go see a doctor, if anything. Find something else like, um.. What's your favorite hobby? Go out, have fun, etc.

[*Weird addiction*]

Also, your father shouldn't be influencing you to smoke.

I tell him that everyday but he is keen on ruining my life

[pingpang_0811]

smoking is a bad habit i think.
some think it can make u feel better, but it just let u to escape from the problem, the problem still here that haven't solved!!
also, doesn't it harm to our health?

[misoshiru]

maybe you could take up a hobby. or maybe see a doctor about it. find something you like to do that you'll keep your mind on.

[pingpang_0811]

what are you talking about 

...........

SHE DID QUIT. STUPID.

Anyways, what do you like to do? Ohhh my sister used to eat peanuts when she wanted to smoke...Like the shelled ones, so it makes you busy...

[Angel_Cece]

good for you, and for the record, if you ever decide to pick it up again just remember ciggarettes have: sewer gas, toilet cleaner, paint, mentane... really nasty huh? makes you not wanna smoke at all. im proud of your desicion!

[Spirited Away]

Sandra:



I'm happy for you. Now I can take back the things I said to you in our earlier discussions! Thank you for proving me wrong.

[lolthissiteisfun...]

My friend quit smoking, and for a bit he had problems like that, but he started jogging and chewed gum A LOT! after a while the cravings went away. He says he still has issues with it, but that it was worth it. Plus he saves a lot of money.

I think you should keep all the cash from your dad and go buy something fun.

[Gypsy Eyes]

You are not sick, those are just withdrawl symptoms dont worry.

I suggest, like others have said, gum and sunflower seeds.

congrats, thats a huge accomplishment

[me1issaaaa]

Yeah, sounds like you're having withdrawl. It's probably just in your mind since you've been so used to them for such a long time.

But CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be strong, dollface. And please please please be careful. It's a terrible habit, I know a few people who have died from cigarettes. I don't want that to happen to you. You're better than that, okay?

You're obviously one strong kid to have given up that kind of habit. I'm proud.

[kryzcoak47luv666]

I totally can relate
Yeah you do get real sick, because after a while, its not for relaxation any more, it becomes like a medicine, but most of it is psychosimatic (like if you think your in pain, you will be in pain) well yeah I smoke as well as you can tell, and yeah I totally congratulate you on breaking the habit, it's harder than it looks, but its so much easier after the 1st 3 days, yeah your just having withdrawl and it happens for a, long time, I quit for a month and yeah I still wanted it and got kinda sick from quiting, mostly you have to pre-occupy yourself, stay away from anything related to ciggarettes, and try to avoid any magazines with advertisements of them, especially the brand you smoke. I smoked as much as 2 packs a day at 16, so since then I cut down a lot. Just so you know control your eating because when you quit, or as you may know, run out at times you'll wanna eat everything to kinda help you, I dunno it's a bad habit, I give you mad props, good job,

Ps: think of the good things that come from quitting, you breath easier, you get your taste buds back, and you reduce the risk of many cancers.

[*Statistik*]

ill give u some cocaine

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

omg i'm so happy for you. my dad smokes and its sad because he always needs to go smoking. and one day we spent the whole day together but then like when he got home he take out a cigerette. whoa your dad gives you money to smoke? whoa well i'm glad that you resist temptations good for you =)

[crazeegirl411]

burn ur cigars

omg are you serious? That's so stupid.

Buy nicotine patches...take pills, whatever. It's better than fighting it off with just your will to stop smoking.

[shortiiex]

think about the consquences

[XaZnX07]

i have an idea well it helps to cutt off slowly like force yourself and have a limit each month and when the month is up make your limit smaller each month and get all the way till your not even smoking any more you body cant function with out it cause you abused the drug and your body think it needs it so you need to give your body it but take it less and less each mmonth you know what i mean?? well good luck with that! and dont worry bout your lungs they repair them self after you quit for a while your lungs would be good as new if you just quit so i wish for all the best for you

.:tony:.

[megan_x3]

im so proud of you. my dad can't stop smoking either . but i guess that you should just find something to chew on besides smoking cigarette. i heard that somewhere and it said that it helps. =D hope it would work for you

[DavidJ2318]

keep going, it will pay off in the long run

personally i feel that smoking is quite vulgar:

-it doesnt taste good
-its made up of a bunch of nasty stuff
-it smells bad on people
-it also makes them look cheap
-it is a waste of money
-and the all the health problems as well

so yeah i dont think i will ever smoke and i am happy that you are quitting

[*Weird addiction*]

ill give u some cocaine

Was that a joke? if it was, then it isn't funny .

I'm happy for you. Now I can take back the things I said to you in our earlier discussions! Thank you for proving me wrong

Thanks...i smoked because i was having family problems...thanks though...i've been chewing gum a lot...and i'll be going to see the doctor today

[racoons > you]

Thanks james...i am happy i quit smoking...thanks for your support

[innovation]

just think of all the stuff you can buy with the money you save from not smoking. or perhaps, tape a really disgusting picture of a heavy smoker's lungs on your wall. that might be distracting, though.

[*lolita kitty*]
