Tomorrow I am going to try going cold turkey with cigarettes. Any tips?! Wish me luck. I'm not trying to be too optimistic it'll make falling off the wagon hurt less.

Edit: why is ***s censored again?!

Today I bought tickets for Sebadoh at the Electric Ballroom.

Words cannot describe my joy...

Smoke something green ; )

My friend had same problem, tried to quit cold turkey, and just couldn't do it. Told him to switch to the green, he quit smoking in less than a month.

I heard e-cigs work miracles as well, give those a try.

it's still very much a derogatory epithet for homosexuals in America. which gets to be confusing when you use earthy phrases like "wanna blow a fag with me?"

i suggest not carrying currencies less than a tenner in cash when you go out at night. the only time i can justify spending money on cigs is when i'm planning on getting tanked on a bar crawl and i've got change to blow.

and if you're actually a habitual smoker and not just a drunk one...avoid convenience stores like the plague.

I'm in the process of quitting cold turkey, today marks day 5 of my smoking cessation. I can tell you that never have I been more willing to fight all human beings than I am at the moment. Incredibly irritable.

Tips wise, think of something else you enjoy doing and do it as often as possible. I love coffee, so I'm drinking gallons of the stuff. Also, try and coax one of your friends into quitting with you if you have smoker chums. My housemate has joined me in the big quit, and we're kind of supporting each other - it's a massive help.

Above all else, just remember how ****ty cigarettes actually are. They make you smell, age your skin, stain your teeth, blacken you lungs and clog your arteries. All of that translates into quite a big incentive.

Good luck.

Fuck work went on forever, need a drink stat.

Sunflower seeds. Whenever I've gone cold turkey I've always gone through a few bags of sunflower seeds during the first few days. By day four you'll be fine.

i went through a lot of mint sweets during my process

Way ahead of you, in fact I'm already out and nobody is responding to my pleas to buy me more, the cunts.

I had the privelage of attending a court-ordered parenting class this evening. Good to know our tax dollars are going to good use.
