Well scionlife,
For the last couple of months I have been battling an alcohol/smoking addiction and have been losing....So I have decided that the only way to move on with my life is to quit both cold turkey. It's going to be tough, but in the long run it will be worth it to gain control of my life and have more of a social life not related to drinking. I have emptied all the alcohol/cigs out of my apt and I am now going to start the process of getting over this stupid addiction.,,,,Wish me luck

 

Best of luck to you. Now you will also notice all the money that you are saving as well, and possibly regaining lost years of your life. Great decision. More power to ya!

 

That's awesome! I do wish you the best of luck. I've never had to battle an alcohol addiction, but I did have a heck of a time quitting smoking (haven't smoked in 20 years now). One thing that I learned when trying to give up any habbit/addiction is to find something healthy to do in place of whatever you're giving up. It helps a lot. If you spent a lot of your social time in bars, find another hobby to fill that time. Keep us posted on your progress!

 

Good luck!

 

Nobody likes a quitter.

 

^^ rofl. only the weak get addicted! you can do it!

 

Good luck! I hope you take advantage of AA too.

 

rock on! chew LOTS OF GUM! thats how my parents quit,. and lots of hard candys.

 

I quit smoking cigs by taking up heroin. It really works!

 

Good luck =)

 

Good luck, that's awesome.

 

Yeah I know where your coming from man I had a hard time breaking my oxy/pain medication addiction apparently having a herniated disk in your back gives you an unlimited supply of drugs, that and some people I know...

Just make sure you have plenty of family and friends who not only find your two addictions disgusting but support your move to quiting them. Good luck man and remember it's nearly impossible to do it alone.

 

That would explain all the STD's

 

You're 94 years old, do you really want to stop now?!

 

Alright so it's day 3 of me quitting and I have to say quitting smoking is really REALLY hard. I crave it badly but I just tell myeself that in the long run it will get better. I have been drinking ALOT Of iced tea lately and now I am starting to even ween that off.......I'm sick of being addicted to ____. So I am stopping. That's simple....GO me.

AND BTW I AM 22.

 

drink lots of water and caffeine free tea...

 

Geez...your story makes me want a cig...Good luck! Ill be back..Im gonna go smoke now.

I had a lady walk up to me while I was smoking and she told "You shouldnt smoke, its a dirty habbit".....I told her, "well, so is wiping my a$$ but Im not gonna stop doing that"

For real though...Good luck!

 

:D my dad had to quit cold turkey cos of stomach ulcers. it was either no smoking or hello grave in a year. Now, 15 years later he doesn't crave cigarettes, but once in a while he craves for a good cuban cigar.

He hates smokers now with a passion

So it's good yr stopping now and not because yr health imposes it on you ;wink: good luck with everything

 

Alright. It's day 5 now and I don't even miss the cigs anymore, just the alcohol. I feel though that I at least need to not drink for a month so that I can know I don't need it to function. It's been pretty easy so far minus the first 2 days.
