well here we go....

[slipknotpsycho]

just smoked my last cig out of the carton i got right before new years eve... lets hope this time i kick it and keep it kicked for good... mind over matter right?

edit as some of you may know, i don't have teeth, and it's too soon to get my dentures yet, sooo... chewing gum is pretty much out of the question =/ atleast last time i tried to quit i could chew gum.

Good luck

BTW... I love slipknot :D

[birdgirl73]

Good luck with the quitting, Slipknot! I hope you can successfully do that this time! I think it's great that you keep trying. One of these days it's going to stick.

They were saying cigs went up nearly a dollar a pack here in Texas on January 1. How much is a pack of 100s nowadays? It's edging close to five bucks, right? That's nuts. Think of all the money you'll save once you're off those things.

P.S. I love Slipknot, too. And his wife Snookums as well!

[Pipe Dreams]

Good luck good sir. I also needa quit smokin fuckin cigarettes, but alas, I will not.

[slipknotpsycho]

yeah for higher quality cigs (malrboro's camels ect ect) they're around 4.50 a pack, and yes there is a dollar higher tax on all cigs now (i wonder if that applies to cartons as well, like if a carton is now 10 dollars more then they were) i'm not sure if it's only in texas tho, the news gave me the impression they were going up a 1.00 nationwide... they're expecting to bring in either an extra 8 million, or 8 billion dollars a year with this new tax... can't remember which -illion it was lol.

[slipknotpsycho]

Good luck good sir. I also needa quit smokin fuckin cigarettes, but alas, I will not.

you won't as long as you say you won't... quitting cigs is one of those things you have to have damn near a flawless mindset, and have to want to quit, more than anything..

I know man, part of me is like "damn fuck cigarettes" but then in the back of my head its like "time for a cigarette man"

lol, that's what always gets me =/ logically i know it's not doing anything for me and i want to quit, but there's always tha tlittle voice/craving what ever you wanna call it, telling you to smoke more and more... last time i quit i also had an oz to smoke on.. unfortunately, i don't have that either this time...

and the way i look at continously failing in quitting is it is practice, for the time when you finally do kick it for good... so i don't look at me ever picking up a cig after i 'quit' in the past like a failure, i look at is as practice.

yo brah thats great u tryin to quit...trust me ull feel alot betta.....its hard n to me tha best way is cold turkey...i tried leanin myself of wit a few diff methods soon after high school but didnt work....jus like u said tho...mind over matter....thats all it is...its all in ur mind. trust me u will crave one for tha rest of ur life. u jus have to b strong n not give in. im almost 26 i started when i was 8...well smoked my first cig when i was 8 but really picked it up around 11-12, and next month will make it 2 yrs smoke free for me!!!! i feel great! but like i said u will foreva crave one....i do almost everyday. it decreases wit time but will still b there. especially if u toke, or drink n what not. during tha 1st couple months when id b ouut at tha bar playin in poker tournys i would take a hit or 2 off a friends cig but only then. neva bought a pack or asked for a cig or even asked for a hit, except at those few moment. but if u do give in n hit a cig or wha not, dont let it get u down n tell urself "well mite as well keep smokin now" jus keep ur mind focused n ull b ok. If u dont have the will power then it wont work. Thats all it is when it comes to quitin smokin n even drugs n drinkin if u ask me. i understand that sum things give u body addictions n shit but still all in ur mind in tha long run. if u have strong will power u will/ or atleast have a greater chance of actually doin it. but if u dont have it, then it would pretty much b impossible. But hey...GOOD LUCK with it. i really hope u can do it. jus remember.......Mind Over Matter!!!! GL! keep us posted!

you dont have teeth?...and your twenty-somethin?
damn dude, i bet if you could re-do things youd brush more often, eh?

[slipknotpsycho]

yeah i would have, but you grow up 'knowing' what your parents teach you, and my grandma always told me that brushing wasn't important... by the time i knew any diffrent it was already too late...

Because it's a serious addiction. And it's not just a physical one but also a behavioral one. I remember hearing Dr. Drew Pinsky and other addiction experts on a panel say that cigarette addiction is one of the most profound addictions there is. Ranks up there with a substance we can't mention here that comes from poppies--and with another one people create in labs using over-the-counter psuedoephedrine-containing meds. They truly said cigarettes rank up there with those two hardest addictions to conquer.

Try drinking some water. Another tip I read someplace suggested that sucking on a straw can help replace the inhalation behavior. Might be worth trying. . . .

I smoked my last cig on New Years Eve, then I quit. I've been done with withdrawl for about 2-3 days.
I can proudly say I am not a smoker of tobacco anymore, well, except socially and that ain't often. I am not longer addicted to nicotine.

~goes and grabs a straw~'

anything is worth trying at this point... god the first day drives me so insane, it always does!

[suhl]

i quit smoking since nye but i just got high today and was offered a cig it was so good i went and bought a back haa

[MastaChronic]

yo slipknot
i just watched your compilation and that accident at the end was by far the funniest thing ive seen all week.

[Kon.Artist.]

I really don't understand the big deal with quitting cigarettes. I dont know if i ever will. I've been smoking for about 3 years and for me its really just a social and relaxing thing. Recently I havent been smoking much, not for about two weeks, and I really dont want one. I dont have any lying around either, though, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I guess it would be harder not to smoke if you have cigarettes with you
