I want to add a story. Went in Army at 18, month after HS. Everyone else college or trade school, mother poor and I was too smart for school. Knew I could do it, just bored with it. Didn't want to be the poor kid in college either. Join army, basic training has all the stories of how tough it was. I loved it. Was the hippy kid and when I got there I could complain like everyone else. I decided to enjoy it. Roll on the ground and get dirty, sure. Run and do pt, fine. Get up early, don't sleep all night, no problem. They had to feed me, they had to give me time to sleep, they had to stop running or rolling in the dirt sometime. So I did it with that in mind. It will end, has to. Now the big guys would push people around sometimes when sgt was around, but they never bothered me. Why? Cause I was the crazy kid who liked it all. Stand in the sun for hours then march in circles for hours more. I used to think "how cool is this? I am getting paid to stand here and don't have to do anything else" So we were allowed to smoke one or two a day. I was the only white guy who smoked menthol. This was also a rare thing I found out. Most whites smoked the cowboy. Goofy me was called "the lightest n I ever knew" by the group. It was a complement at the time and by who was saying it to me, black guys. I was accepted as just the kid who joined "for the sun tan and beer". We had great farmers tans, arms only. South Carolina in July and August. Point is if you believe something is good, it is good and becomes contagious. If you make it something that sucks and is difficult, it can be that too

how to enjoy/embrace? get to know the feeling, step outside yourself and look, know its not you but its you healing, struggling to kick all those chemicals out, lungs ltting fresh air in, blood moving it around and pulling the bad stuff out, brain yelling to take the easy road and give in but knowing you need to stick the course, play nope over and over again, move around and know you can out smart the mind, the nicotine is leaving fast and will want to fight, beat it, smile when hurting, know its the right move and even though it hurts its one of those good hurts. No pain No Gain was big saying years ago. Use it. Enjoy the feeling of healing. It sucks, but it wont kill you.

Cold turkey. Just get it over with. Enjoy the craves They need to be done only once and each gets weaker. You get stronger with each one you beat. Nicotine is nicotine. Got to stop it sometime. Why prolong it to be safe. Just do it

I liked most of what everyone said but got to admit I skimmed some of it. Couldn't wait to post myself but wanted to read some of what the others said so..... go lick an ashtray then come back and say you want to smoke. you wont. If you lick an ashtray, then say you liked it you should just move to Ohio, loose your shoes, have your teeth removed, sit down and wait to die. so moving on- your bored and lonely, perfect time to ............ f'ning anything but smoke. Poor Tracey, wants to go back to chemo cause she's bored.....it wont taste good so just lick the ashtray so you don't have to reset the counter. But your real problem is not going to be solved by smoking. Homesick or just getting dummer by the day because Ohio is sucking your brain cells dry with boredom is not cured by smoking. Ohio is boring, that's why they only got short buses, England got to be boring at times.... what to do with so much time on my hands???? go volunteer somewhere. guns are fun beer is fun guns and beer is fun for a bit motorcycles are fun (forget the license- go ride) exercise is ok tv gets old books are fine for some time fireworks are always fun power tools can be fun chores suck cooking suxs teasing children is ok till you got to run shopping get old too take something apart- could be fun go diddle yourself- and take pictures, and send to me, lots of fun get up, get moving, quit thinking. If Ohio is good for anything, it requires little thinking. Smoking is off the table and just attention seeking for anyone over six months. Ask around, anyone who has tried it felt dummer. I saw a half a smoke sitting on a table the other day, with a lighter next to it. For about .025 seconds my head went "look at that" then about a milli second later my head went "bet it taste like shit after being stubbed out and relit" So thoughts can pop up, but like the dog and one ball said- its where you aim your thinking, the attitude, which pulls you past, pushing you to accept that this feeling, this feeling right now, is the new normal, and I am going to like this new normal. PERIOD

Is it like rabbit poop? Little trail of where you been?

I think it will be easy. You know the difference and not that much nicotine was used. Not letting this go by unspanked but you tasted it an told us how bad it was. We know but need told too.

Try dicks sporting goods. Their stuff isn't the highest price but good middle of the road quality. Walmart has some cheap stuff I just looking for deal

I week is huge. May I suggest a name change. Soon you won't want to be associated with smoking. The name will be how we know you and you won't really be that name.
