[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 523545, member: 13555"] Pickup, The hardest part of quitting smoking is the mental or emotional side of it. I smoked for 15 years, decided one day to quit, had my best friend at the time go buy me a pack of nicorette gum, chewed that for a month and was done. You have to be emotionally and mentally ready to quit. If neither one of these are ready, you are not gonna quit no matter how hard you try. You cannot let your mental state at any one time dictate to you whether or not you need a smoke. You must remember that smoking is used by your body as a crutch to get you through the tough times in your life and if you quit smoking, you will have to find another crutch or addiction to lean on to substitute for the cigarettes. By addiction I mean candy or dum dums or beer or whatever you can think of or use to your advantage. Just remember, the physical addiction to nicotine is gone after about 5 days or so, (according to my doctor), but the mental addiction to the cigarette will last for the rest of your life. When I quit, I was working in a bar and couldn't sit at the bar for 2 months after quitting because of the mental aspect of it. I ended up chewing on swizel stix from the bar and holding an old pen between my fingers until i got past the mental aspect of the habit. Only you will know if you are ready to quit or not, no one can tell you one way or the other, but just make sure you have things in your life in order before you even attempt it. Good luck to you on your quest, you will need it. iowa [/QUOTE]
