I stopped smoking on February 4th, 2004. I'd tried a number of times before but if I'm honest I was trying then because I thought I should, not because I wanted to. In 2004, I wanted to.

As one comedian said, it's really easy to stop smoking, I've stopped hundreds of times. The hard bit is staying stopped. I used a couple of motivational tools to help me stay stopped. The main one was this...

1. Are you going to smoke all your life? No.
2. OK, so if you're not going to smoke all your life, then you ARE going to stop and stay stopped at some point in your life.
3. OK, so now that you've stopped, if you smoke again today and then ultimately will stop properly, then all the discomfort, anger, annoyance and general shitty feeling that you've had over the last few days/weeks is all being wasted because you'll have to go through all of it again.
4. So picking up and smoking your next cigarette will cause you weeks of feeling like hell - it's not worth it.

The other was advice from a book I read, which described your addiction to nicotine like the addiction was a physical enemy (like a monster or Justin Beiber or something). Each time you crave a cigarette and beat it, the enemy becomes weaker. This helps turn any craving feeling into a positive, because it means you're winning the battle.

Great job for stopping - it will get easier and before you know it you won't care about it at all

At one point I'd smoked 60 in a day, was lighting cigs off cigs! My friend's brother died, smoking related at 40 which was my kick up the butt. At first I didn't stop, I cut down so instead of punishing myself for smoking, I congratulated myself...if I'd had 40 cigs that day, I'd NOT smoked 20 - so yay! Then tried to beat the record etc. I also made sure if I smoked I couldn't do anything else at the same time so if I wanted to work on my bike or go for a walk or make a coffee I had to put it out and so on. Working with the quit line too at the time, I eventually stopped altogether, over a period of about a month. Since I packed up, based on only £3 a pack in 1996, I've saved over £50,000 pounds. bought a Mercedes convertible, water bed, various holidays, Plasma tv, loads of Gadgets, my TuonoV4, all cash I put aside.

Well done you for making that decision, keep it up. Oh, as a final warning A/ You'll be coughing up all kinds of god awful evil from your lungs for a while and B/ People will soon stop congratulating you because you'll just be a non-smoker instead of a smoking quitter.

I gave it up on Feb 1 of this year. Every now and then I'll have a craving, like when I see someone on Tv smoking, but it usually goes away within 15 minutes or so. The hardest part really is the first week or two. I remember the entire month of Feb being pretty shitty in that regard, then I realized about halfway through March that I hadn't actually wanted a smoke for quite some time (Tv moments not withstanding.) That was a pretty awesome feeling. Now when I spend the night out with my friends, -all- of whom smoke, and then smell the clothes the next day it smells horrible, where a few months ago I wouldn't even have noticed. That's the crazy part.

One of the biggest things that made me want to quit was kissing another smoker. Shit man, if you want some of that action just lick the inside of a dirty ashtray, it'll taste the same!
