Lol, man you are pathetic can’t even just say “hey looks like you were right about the cops.” I just don’t understand why people can’t admit they are wrong over the internet , it’s not like I know you in real life and you are losing face with your best friend.

Only bullshit I had was at the very end of my last post. Well good luck being wrong about other things in your life but I guess it is all O.K. cause it is just boring. If you reread the thread you’ll realize you reduced to ignorant name calling when you couldn’t present valid arguments. Man school must of sucked for you…must not of bothered with it.

Huh? Where did you hear that garbage? A lot of FBI guys go to my dad’s church and a few of them were undercover for drug crimes. Two of them have done heroin when they were undercover. The way they explained it was that with heroin after your first injection you are hooked for the rest of your life. You will wake up and you will either think of it or your body will hurt for it which will make you think of it. One of them even said, “Right now as I talk to you all I want to do is go down town and get some smack.” Supposedly these guys didn’t even have addictive personalities and they’ve been clean for almost 20 years and they still get the shakes. Now that is a fucking drug.[/quote]

LMAO!! What a bunch of bullshit they fed you!

How so? You an experienced heroin addict? If so I wouldn’t mind hearing about your experiences.

Sounds like BS to me too man.

You don’t get hooked for life on one hit.

Especially after 20yrs. Dude, they’re pulling your chain.

Whether or not cigs are more addictive than heroin is a useless debate in terms of the OP and his need to quit.

OP; I smoked 2 packs a day for 13 years and I quit 4 years ago. Like most things, the obvious answer, the simplest answer is most often the hardest answer to accept and the one you don’t want to hear, but here it is.

It is a choice, just make it. This is what I told myself and this is what I tell everyone who wants to quit. It is that simple, but making the choice and following thru are the hard parts. There is nothing magical to it, there is nothing more to it. Everything else is just prolonging the choice. Maybe some people need to prolong the choice (nicotine patches, cutting down etc) but in the end, even if they are down to 1 cig a week, they still have to make that final choice to go from 1 a week to none.

For me, it was cold turkey. I saw that it was a choice, I made it and I never turned back. Not to discount the difficulty, cause it was difficult, but the rewards are well worth it in my book. As for the addictive nature of a cigarette, fuck heroin, who cares. Cigs are addictive as all get out. Ya just got to live with it. Hopefully 2 years doesn’t have you hooked like I am, but who knows, we’re all unique. For me, I can’t even smell a cigarette without salivating. Just typing this, my body is getting excited and I am starting to rationalize the idea of just having one. For me, 4 years hasn’t made it go away, and I know it never will. So I just stick to my choice.

It’s just a choice, make it.

Isn’t smoking lovely?

It tastes like fucking Victory, but its loss.

I know that loss, my father died of cancer, but I still smoke. Like a champ too. Give me a beer and a smoke and call me Happy as hell. Why is that so fantastic? I don’t care about you bitches that have never had a smoke to your lips and have all sorts of opinions to say, you don’t matter to me. I want to talk to people like me. I love beer and I love cigarettes. How can I unlove them? Because you know, I don’t want to be saying goodbye at 52.
