Here's a tip for anyone trying to quit, DON'T do it cold turkey, wean yourself off of it, if you don't know the proper technique for weaning, Google it.

My friend did quit cold turkey when he was very sick with bad colds. He couldn't breathe and smoke at the same time (duh!). So, that's how he did it. He was smoke-free for more than 7 years and happy with it. I quit mine via 8 weeks of patches more than 8 years ago. One less harmful stuff to my body out of many other harmful stuff!!

TIPS: use any lollipops of your choices to help curb your oral habits. Works for me!! My favorite choice would be Tootsie Pop. :P
Tee Off and Pay ATTENTION!! :shock:

Depends on the addiction level I guess. IMO, addictions are addictions...they're all hard to quit.

Whether its mental or physical. The best way to quit something is to wean yourself off of it. Yes, there are people who quit cold turkey and are successful. Quitting cold turkey makes you more susceptible to relapsing though.

Some are different than others though. Some may smoke marijuana and never developed any kind of mental addiction. When I socially smoked cigarettes in the Marines, I never got addicted. Therefore not doing it had no effect on me.

All I know is, there are tons of people that want to quit that have a hard time quitting. And I was 1 of those people. To my surprise when I announced that I stopped smoking on Facebook, I was contacted by 4 different golfers seeking help to quit. They wanted to successfully quit like I did and they were desperate for help.

If anyone is tired of feeling like crap because of your addiction, regardless of what you're addicted to. Pm me, we'll talk about it, you have my word that I will not disclose anything we talk about. I want to help.

i quit cigs 10 yrs ago, cold turkey. For me it was the best way to do it. I get that people are different though so certainly a valid point. When i quit i didnt hang out with anyone that smoked for the first month or two. That helped a ton. I see alot of people fail simply bc they quit and go to the bar/hang out with friends that all smoke cigs. So impossible to quit cold turkey if you dont isolate yourself from it.

2013 goals/resolutions: Cut my weight to 180pds (so i gotta lose 37).

No more getting angry in front of my wife or kids. This man's gotta control his emotions, or he'll lose all the goodwill he builds up. And the equation sucks: 50 great things get wiped out by one bad performance. Can't take for granted these relationships......

Hey cow, I noticed there's a spanking new casino in Oxford, ME on the way to Sunday River. We can set up a weekend where we drop Todd off to work on his 1000 hours, and we can head to the mountain and gamble with the moguls and the trees

I would love to hit up Sunday river for sure. These old legs of mine don't exactly relish the thought of turning a board around moguls n trees but I'd love to hit the slopes!
