it has now been a month - QsK Global

a month ago, i decided to quit chewing. and 30 days later, i have stayed true to myself and not had one particle of tobacco touch my lip.

it's sort of easy after i realized there really is only one way to quit:

just fucking do it.

i've been chewing for 7+ years. it has been a steady can a day for over 4 years. one day, i sat my ass down and talked to myself. i figured out how much it cost me to chew($160+ a month). i asked myself what i gain from chewing? the answer is, nothing. i then came to the conclusion that a person must be pretty fucking stupid to begin doing a habit that has no good side effects whatsoever, costs you a lot of money, basically guarantees health problems, and can potentially kill you. i then turned that simple logic into a way which would help me. if i'm dumb enough to start, i'm dumb enough to quit. just fucking do it. don't think about it. just fucking quit. just do it. it's easy. simply stop from not doing it, and fucking do it. so easy. just fucking do it! the human mind is a powerful thing. if we're capable of cloning an animal, then we are surely capable of even LESS complex activities. one box of nicotine gum helped me get through the first week. but none since.

just fucking do it.

Quitting an addiction is a very hard thing to do. Good Job. How was the nicotine gum?

I'm planning to start quitting smoking at the end of the school year.

Good to hear it, I wish my Dad would quit (1 Can every 2-3 days)

good. but why not start now?

just remember how easy it is. i don't care what science people will throw at you about the addiction to nicotine. it's all in your head.

if I can do it, ANYBODY can do it.

Good job man, that's the mindset people need to have when quitting things like that.
