Keep at it brah.. if you can beat H you can beat fags easy!

To be fair fags are only physically addictive for the first 3 days or so, after that its purely psychological.

I used to smoke like 7 fags a day for a good month or so and quit with ease cause it was gammy.. each to their own though

Tell me that after 6 years of just 10 a day. Plus joints with tobbaco almost everyday for 3 of them. It’s up to a month of very real physical withdrawal symptoms for some people. Then you have the psychological side on top.

Fair enough man – at least you’re 15 days in though, well done. What made you wanna quit?

It’s really expensive to smoke tobacco…

I had a nasty trip on 25i-nbome and triggered some nasty anxiety which made me think I was going to die all the time. It turned into a panic disorder eventually not helped by me still doing psychedelics and smoking lots of weed. I pretty much stopped everything cause even weed made me have a panic attack and think I was going to die. Eventually I bought an ecig and quit baccy altogether, bought a vaporizer for when I wanted to have some bud again and took a break from weed. The panic attacks just got worse over a week so I ended up buying some diazepam (doing small therapeutic doses), doing some mindfulness meditation and now vaping a bit of cannabis. I feel much better physically (from not inhaling combusted plant matter im guessing) and that’s (probably helped by the the meditation and diaz) made my mental state a lot happier.

Tell me about it. I used to spend £32 a month on that shit.

I feel you dude – anxiety is horrible, mines got a lot better when I just realised a lot of it was irrational and meditated. I used to get insane panic attacks on weed, I also got really bad chestpains that felt very real that made me think I was having a heart attack. It is all in your mind though – try to figure out why you get anxious..

oi you quit! You were posting links to some book no?

Lol, yes I’m a great believer in the ‘easy way’ Alan Carr (no not the comedian)

I find it pretty easy to stop, my problem is staying stopped, I can go months to about 2 years but loose motivation and slippery slope get back on em,

So far ok, had a lapse whilst hideously pissed on fri night and smoked 4 but that’s better than my usual 20, so not being harsh on myself, back to abstenance, still coughing up shite though

The things that panic does to you are unreal. I’ve been thinking I can take anything I want, when I want, without consequence but it all came back at me. Again. I thought I learnt my lesson the first time lol. I just need to chill out on the substances and keep myself slightly healthy. If there’s anything good I can get out of that 25i trip is that i now have the drive to do it rather than just talk about it.

The Easy Way was a very useful factor in all this, I previously read it and quit for a month and the knowledge I can do it if I try helped me do it again this time

Also, rasberry herbal cigarettes. Scratches the itch if you’re off your face and gagging to toke on something 😛 Found e-cigarettes too smooth, I need a punch in the lungs to feel like I’m getting what i want

I’ve tried to quit many times but the booze messes with my will power. As soon as I have a drink or go near a pub I start craving.
