Quit Smoking = Really Easy As Hell?

[aggresor]

I've smoked for 10 years, tried many times to quit but failed.

But about a month ago I found a method and so far it seems to be working.

Basically, what I did was, during the first 2 weeks, when I had a craving, I didn't suppress it. I bought a pack and smoked a few, BUT THEN, when the craving was gone, I threw the pack away when it still has at least 10 cigs in it.

And I didn't throw it into the kitchen bin where 7 hours later I would just dig through the trash and find it again. I threw it out the window from my 30th floor apartment which meant I will never find that pack again.

I did this about 10 times in the first 2 weeks.

Also in the last month, I haven't met any friends who smokes.

And, somehow, gradually, I stopped having the craving. I stopped buying a new pack to smoke a few and throw away. I stopped completely and haven't had any real cravings for the last 2 weeks.

Hope this helps anyone wishing to quit.

yeah it is easy.

"Just dont do it"

Is a concept people in America don't understand. being overweight, drunk all the time or smoking are things you can easily NOT do. it just takes the will of a 5 year old to do so.

"Instant gratification" is not an illness or an addiction... it's being too lazy to control your own actions. People use this excuse for everything... Even cheaters.

I quit smoking. In a day. Just decided to NOT do it anymore. I hardly drink ( though i have no issue with it ). I can even go years without sex and have done so by choice.

People are too spoiled. the concept of no should not be a challenge.

This means that you dont have an addictive personality. Some people do, which is why quitting is extremely hard

Again " Addictive Personality" is nothing more than like I said before INSTANT GRATIFICATION.

Don't teach your kids how to work for things, apply themselves and so on and guess what? They grow up with "Addictive personalities" due tot he lack of not learning how to say no to themselves.

That's good advice. I'm using an e cig and working a nicotine level step down program. I haven't had a real cigarette in over a year and I'm down to nicotine level 10.

That's great you found a method that works for you. In not a smoker and don't have his problem but I hope your method will help someone else who is trying to quit
