I Want To Quit

Discussion in 'General' started by Boomhauer, Sep 2, 2014.

  1. I want to quit smoking. Weed and cigs. Im not sure how im going to accomplish that, because I've been doing it for almost a decade.

    I might run into a few issues if I decide to go through with it. How do the non smokers in this world get through life without any sort of substance abuse? Does their success in life give them that "high"?!?! I just don't get it. I couldn't imagine going through life without weed.

    Weed and cigs are secondary next to my everyday responsibilities, so I'm not one of those type of people who blow their whole check on weed. Nevertheless, weed has always been apart of me.

    If I were to quit tomorrow, I'd come home from work and wouldn't know what to do with myself.. do I beat off?? I don't know what to do with myself.

  2. Have you tried finding a woman? I mean one you really enjoy the company of?
     
    They're always able to take my mind off smoking.
     
  3. You could always become an alcoholic
     
  4. I did have a woman. For 8 years. Scarred me pretty bad. Im pretty much a hit it quit it kinda guy now.

    And no, ive tried switching to alcohol once. I ended up gettin behind the wheel after drinkin half a 5th... not good.

  5. Start with chewing gum. Only when you want to smoke weed - and continue/improve your brushing,flossing, and mouthwash habits.
     
    Once your oral fixation is satisfied, you need to satisfy your mind. It's used to being subjected to external influences. That's half of your life, give or take experience.
     
    Have you ever played an instrument? Coded a website? Been a fitness fanatic? Played with a yo-yo? Mastered a game?
     
    Find something that occupies your mind. After a couple weeks, halve the amount of times you chew gum. Keep making it less and less gum chewing, and continue to entertain yourself, and weed/cigs will be a thing of the past.
     
  6. you just need the mental fortitude to handle change. and yes, you will get high on life ... like from working out
     
  7. That's a horrible idea. If he was ignorant enough to listen to your advice, you'd be responsible for his death. Alcohol kills and sometimes it's not just the person who is doing the drinking.

    Yeah, don't listen to him. Try an e-cig?
     
  8. I was being sarcastic :laughing:

    Cool your microwave, max.
     
  9. I've been enrolled in a jiu jitsu class for bout 4 years. Went like a dozen times in the past 6 months. I stopped going, cause cigs take away my stamina which makes me useless in that class.

    I thought about being a fitness fanatic, but that can only go so far for me. Once I skulpted myself into a fine specimen, I would need to find something else to do.

    Back in june I was about to enlist in the marines. I kinda bitched out and started smoking again.

  10. I thought about it. I uses to have an e cig, but it didnt give me that throat hit you'd get from a cigarette. If anyone knows any e juices that can do that for me, I'd be willing to try it again.

  11. joining the marines isnt something you should do on a whim, so good on you there. fitness isnt something you can complete and move on from though, once youre in shape, you need to stay in shape. and you can always be in better condition. 
     
  12. Trust me Do Not Just Quit Cold Turkey. It won't work and you will be miserable especially if you have been doing it regularly/daily for years. You will have start just smoking less and less till the point where you are ok without it. The first few days without it will suck but it will get better and soon you will just forget about it.
     
    Also I'd try to quit one at a time, but make sure that you don't start doing more of one just because you quit the other.
     
    Best of luck to you.
     
  13. Mmm, I understand there must be a natural grievance period with your scarring partner relationship. And that must take place, but do you not find fulfillment in relationships with others, even in the simplest of friendships?

    I'd definitely be cognoscente of moving forward with that, even if it's a concept that's down the road. Sorry if I sound preachy, not my intention in the least. Trying to help, but am ultimately just a fellow on some marijuana. Take it all with a grain of salt.

    But at any rate-- that's what it comes down to, finding fulfillment. One can do that through many mediums. Explore your options. Hobbies. Hanging out in other social settings sans thc.

    Find something else to put your time in. Find something you like to do, you don't even need to find something you love or have a "passion" for, just something that interests you. Make it a part of your daily schedule. The more time you put into it the more rewarding it will become whenever you do that thing. And after a while the priority of smoking weed or cigs will become secondary. Good luck dude

    Edit: hookah culture is pretty cool too. It gives you the nicotine and it's a little better for you- a good way to get away from cigs. And go to hookah bars. It's a great way to meet new people

    I think a martial art is a very good idea; you never truly master it - you can always improve.  Take Bruce Lee, for instance: regarded by many as the greatest martial artist of all.  As incredible as he was, he stated that he was always learning, and continuously improving his mind, body, and art.
     
  16. Search for something to lose your identity in. Without an identity to crave anything, you at least reduce the amount of time to crave things you've decided to exclude from your life.
     
  17. I'm in exactly the same situation. Fucking sucks but I'm gonna sack it up.

  18. I didn't read everything, but my suggestion is to quit one at a time.... I would start with cigs...
     
  19. Yeah, its been 8 months since the breakup. Im probably ready to move on from it, but a little nervous. If the next relationship went south, i'd probably go insane.

    There's a girl I knew from highschool that I would most deff want to be with. Shes not single though. Shes like the one who got away. I was so far up my exs ass, I couldn't notice at the time how rifht my friend was for me and how wrong my ex was for me.

    My game is weak now. I wouldn't even know how to put myself out there. The girls I have hooked up with were just easy flings.

    I like weapons, fighting, and tactical training. I don't know how to apply that without being in the military

  20. This is not going to be the end-all be-all case. I went from one oz a week consumption to cold turkey. This is gonna be a case by case thing.
