Well, here's how it goes... something like 60+ hours ago(I stopped counting) I quit a 7 year smoking habit about a pack and a half a day.. cold turkey.. now at first it wasn't so bad but after about 6 hours the irritation started to begin.. big deal... some irritation im always irritated anyway so it didn't bother me much... now fast foward to yesterday when I started getting the mega hot flashes and hallucination, yes i said hallucinations, all day I was fucking convinced there was a black flying disk following me around(haha, lame I know), now here I was going to quit smoking thinking nicotine withdrawls would be a big joke compared to coming off other drugs but now I'm begining to think nicotine withdrawls are worse than fucking coke withdrawls. I mean hallucinations, I've never heard about nicotine hallucinations mentioned before, but yet, here just a few minutes ago I saw the flying black disk again which reminded me of yesterdays hallucinations and thus inspired this thread.

I mean I knew quitting smoking would be fucking hard but seeing black things flying around in the air is just a tad bit creepy and very unexpected. It feels almost the same as coke withdrawls(believe it or not) minus the paranoid/"brain fuck" feeling and im actually sweating morenow than I have before coming off hard coke binges.

Another thing that's bugging me is my teeth are hurting like a motherfuck and I can't stop chewing on things and I can't stop eating.. I've had a toothpick or a wooden skewer in my mouth for the last 3 days now.

Jesus, maybe I should have a cigarette before I start seeing pink elephants and shit.

This is the kind of stuff I guess they don't advertise on those quit smoking commercials and campaigns.

SIDE EFFECTS CAN INCLUDE FLYING BLACK DISKS FOLLOWING YOU EVER WHERE YOU GO AND YOU'LL TEETH JUST LIKE YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE 8 MONTHS OLD.

blargh I'm so irritated I could punch a hole in my computer screen right now.


The end.

Nice.

Nicotine is supposed to be good for crazy people, so maybe you were just self medicating for some minor condition. Because, those arn't normal symptoms.

gee, ya think?

Sorry to tell you this, but a mate of mine quit 8 or so weeks ago cold turkey, and she says it doesn't get any easier. Just get some nicotine patches so that you can ween yourself off, rather than just stopping.

Also, make sure you've constantly got something you can chew on for the first couple of weeks (like a pen or pencil - nothing edible) so you don't have to deal with the withdrawals from stopping the habit of constantly having a fag to suck on.

It is difficult, but stay with it and you'll be happier - a lot better off for cash as well .

Edit: if you smoke pot regularly (i.e. at least once a day), I'd advise you keep smoking blunts instead of mixing with tobacco. Trying to quit two habits at once often ends in failure - another mate discovered this recently...

Smoke a cigarette.

C'mon...do it.

more power to you man. it is rewarding journey to finally take ownership of your body and realize you are the sole decider of what you put into it. and then to act upon that, so cheers.

Has she been smoking a pack and a half a day for 7 years? I didn't think so.

I will not give in to these homosexual cravings for a cig.

THE FLYING BLACK DISC DOESN'T KNOW IM GOING TO FUCK IT IN THE ASS

i didn't smoke for as long as you did, but i was definitely addicted to cigarettes. when i first wanted to quit, it was tough, but finally i just realized how utterly disgusting cigarettes are, and how i just don't enjoy them anymore. IMO, weed is 100x better.

so, for a while i just stopped buying packs, but still smoked fairly often. but now i just have no desire to smoke, it's been like that for a while.

i smoked a cig on 2C-I friday night, and it was awesome. it was the last of like 4 marb smooths my friend traded me for a bowl. after it i wanted to smoke another, but i was just like fuck that (i didn't even have any) and i broke out the bong.

smoking weed on 2c-i roockkksss btw.

but anyways dude, i think you should stick with it, because as someone already said, once you decide you don't want a chemical in your body, it's extremely satisfying to be able to take control and do what you want to do.

if you think you can handle it, smoke every once in a while. but there's a lot of people that can't. i just know myself, and i know that i can smoke every once in a while (even less now) and be totally fine, i don't "relapse" or anything.

i'd suggest getting nic patches for the w/ds dude, and work your way down. those fuckers give you craazzyy ass dreams if you go to sleep with them on, too

You sir make me want to do coke then smoke a ciggarete
