Help me Quit. Please!

[BigCracker]

Hey guys,
First off i want to thank everyone in here. The last 3 years of my life I have no cared about my body and all I have done is abuse it! Since I signed up on this site. Everything has been gradually comming back together and now am in the best shape of my life. Never thought I'd be in the gym 7 days a week and have such a strict diet lifestyle. Never thought i could gain muscle and was always the skinny kid my whole life. Until now. And let me tell you it feels great!!! I was drinking, smoking weed, and cigaretts everyday for the past 3 years. 3 months ago i stopped drinking, maybe its 1-2 times a month now. Quit weed about 2 weeks ago, and believe me that was the hardest thing ever. I depended on that for all my stress and it was the only way for me to fall asleep. I've never even gone a day without it. Now i only have one last thing to do. Quit smoking!!! I've tried it a few times but never could get past 2 days. I have enough displine to wake up do early morning cardio on an Empty stomach for an hour then hit the weights 2hrs later. 6 meals a day, no fast food or eating out in the last 3 months, but i can't quit smoking for the life of me. It really gets to me that im so addicted to them. Its the last habbit i have to get rid of and i just can't seem to be able to do it. PLEASE to anyone that can help me quit this disgusting habbit!! I've been so dedicated and i hate knowing the fact that im just hindering and hurting myself with something i'm addicted to. How do i quit? Thank you so much for your time in reading this!

Hey bro, if I can kick a 3-4 bottle/wk nubain habit after 5 yrs, you can kick smokes. On 4/18 will be 1 yr to the day that I took my last injection of that shit. I joined EF specifically to keep my mind off of jonesin'. One thing I had going for me that will not really affect you is the extra $$$ I suddenly had jingling in my pocket. Having an extra $1000 a month or so to spend definitely eases the pain of withdrawals.

Personally I think 12 step programs suck-they're too God/Jesus-related for me since I can't ignore what I learned in science class about evolution.

The best way to kick I think is to find a substitute addiction that you like less. Ex. Somas(in moderation), masturbation, posting more often on EF, Espresso, caffeinated gum, etc-anything that makes you feel ok, but you could live without no prob. Then work on kicking the substitute once you're off the smokes 100%.

PM me if you need any extra help/support-and I'll tell you how I turned $140 cash into a million dollar/yr biz in 3 yrs and almost lost it all 5 yrs later because I turned into an unmotivated, apathetic- zombie.

I've heard many times in the past that if you can make it past the 72 hr mark, you've got it half whipped. Hang in there bro-it's mind over matter.

Sorry to hear about your battle bro, just remember what Henry Ford once said ," If you think you CAN or CAN'T you're right".

But here's the bottom line, the physical addiction of cigarettes leaves you in 72 hours the rest is all the mental addiction. Having said that if, you can break the mental reminder of having a smoke such as after eating, after having sex or while drinking or being at a social gathering you'll be fine.

Just remember you can do this Bro! I wish you all the best!!!

A book called The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, by Alan Carr, helped me a lot.

H. Ford was a trip. I heard he met a potential biz partner for dinner at a restaurant once and didn't choose him based solely on the fact that the guy salted his food before he tasted it. Bad move for that guy. Everytime I see someone salt their food before they taste it I can't help but think of that. Look before you leap I guess?
