I hope to start some type of martial arts next week and am trying to quit smoking. I will either be doing Aikido or Tae Kwon Do.

Stop "trying to quit" and start quitting. "Trying to quit" is a mental trap. As long as you can comfort yourself with the idea that you're "trying to quit", that's all you'll do. And, you'll become VERY successful with "trying". In fact, you'll become expert at it, but the problem is, you won't ever stop smoking. People who "try to quit" rarely do stop smoking. There's an enormous difference between "trying" to do it and DOING IT.

I know - I tried for years until I got sick of trying. Oh, I'd become very good at trying. (Got yourself an "emergency smoke" stashed somewhere, do you? "Just in case it gets to be too tough", you know...well, it always gets to be too tough.)

See, the problem is that "trying" implies that it's also okay to fail. I mean, at least you TRIED, right? Hey, whaddya want? I TRIED! Time came that I had to not only give up smoking, I had to also give up "trying to quit smoking" because BOTH of them had gotten to be real bad habits. I was either smoking or "trying to quit smoking" - the only thing I wasn't doing was NOT SMOKING!

"Get off my back, willya...I'M TRYING TO QUIT!!"

"Well, I'll have this one little puff...but that's okay because I'M TRYING TO QUIT!!".

What I had to come to terms with - and (as funny as it sounds) grieve about was facing a future without my old pal, Mr. Ciggie. Mr. Ciggie had seen me through many a tough time, and he was my drinkin' pal, too. How could I ever survive without my buddy, Mr. Ciggie?

You gotta blow the bastard's head off, because he's nobuddy's buddy.

Calisthenic stuff (pushups, situps, pullups, dippies, etc) and running.

I sometimes have a hard time getting motivated, so I have my 6-year-old son do them along with me; he gets a $0.50 a day "physical fitness bonus" on his allowance if he does it.

If future funds allow it, I'm heading to that Crossfit place.

Todd, I want you to know this. QUITTING is tough, but it ISN'T FOREVER, like your body tries to tell you. The body has a natural cleansing process and this begins the minute you say "no" to your first craving.

I would also encourage you to use the nicotine patches/gum/lozenges. THEY DO REALLY HELP with the creepy-crawlies. WalMart has a cheaper generic brand than Nicoderm and they work just fine. Start with the 21-mg strength and work your way down. I also used the lozenges to handle those "surprise attacks". Using a lozenge puts something in your mouth, which is part of the physical aspect of the habit.

The nico-patch/gum/lozenge plus mental relaxation techniques (the craving really DOES GO AWAY in a few minutes, Todd, if you give it a chance) did the trick for me. See, the problem really is, when you get to feeling uncomfortable, your mind and body are telling you "THIS WILL NEVER GET BETTER. I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!"...

...and laughing at the nicotine craving is also a VERY good technique, because the fact is, it doesn't have the power you're afraid it has. In fact, no habit or addiction of any kind is TRULY stronger than human will, if we could only understand that it's a battle, and take the fight to the enemy with no intention to surrender.

Try Krav Maga for a good "martial arts" form. Easy to learn and use, no complicated tests and belts system, real-world applications, and a pretty strenuous workout to begin each class.

I quit smoking at midnite on the 1st of March. Just up and quit. When I got off work at 2300 I gave my last pack to a coworker and took one for the ride home. That was the last cig I smoked.

No patches, no meds, no nicotine gum. Just good ol fashion Trident. Actually now they got new flavors and that helps. The first couple days were rough and I went through ALOT of gum, but now it's not so bad.

The last few days at work have been hectic and I've felt myself craving a little bit but I think I'm ok and gonna make it.

Good luck to anyone else that quits.

You can do it Man. I have quit much more addictive stuff than nicotine.

Replace your addiction with excercise. Sweat all those toxins out.

Good Luck

Krav Maga is good stuff. You need a martial art that trains you to get hit. That real life resistance good.

My problem is eating clean. My asthma acts up and I miss a week or to of working out and get mad and start pigging out. I snap out of it in a few days and get back to eating good.

I started working out all most 2 years ago and I have lost 35 pounds of body fat and gained like 12 pounds of muscle last time I had my numbers ran. As soon as I get the ok from my Dr. (I just had Nose surgery 2 weeks ago) I will get back at it.

As for quiting smoking. It was at work after a stat call where I had to run and then fight a mope. After the incident I started for the "smoking area". Gasping for air I grabbed my rescue inhailer from my pocket, took 2 puffs, and put it back. I then had arrived at the "but huts" outside. To get my smokes I had to take my, RESCUE inhailer, out of my pocket to get my smokes out. I thought you MORON! and I quit right then. That was 5 years ago.

* just be cautious about krav maga; I think its a great martial arts but the courts wont take so kindly to you elbowing the suspect in the head if they are just tensing bracing push pulling or other wise offering low resistance a knee to the thigh with a takedown yes but elbows and punches to the head, maybe not so much for security.

Just my 2 cents

No, I see why your wrong most of the time. You draw false conclusions. MJ is reccommended for Chronic Pain....and also for Migraines, Depression, anxiety disorders, hemmoroids, HIV, ulcers and.....insomnia (which I have).

No, my old doc prescribed trazadol and trileptal.

Those medications are not the best choice now-a-days because of serious adverse reactions. The medications I cited are preferred by most doctors because patients tolerate them well and they are usually effective. Maybe it's time to check with another MD for a second opinion.

Hilarious! Insomnia with anxiety and/or excessive somnolence are actually two of the very best-known side effects of both marijuana in its "wild form" and synthetic formulations such as Marinol. I'll be happy to provide you with references, but any pothead like you should have known this.

Either of these side effects - including the somnolence - would preclude the prescription of MJ for insomnia, especially given the plethora of federally-approved medications for insomnia which are extremely effective and very safe. The existence of these medications means that there would never be any "medical necessity" for anyone to "prescribe" MJ to you merely for insomnia. If anyone has done so, you have a jerk for a doctor and, of course, we already know that he has a jerk for a patient.

BTW, I'm still waiting for that PM with your identity so we can have you checked out, and hopefully arrested. Absent that, we can only wish fervently that you and your stash would slip and fall into a deep cravasse while you're "rock-climbing" (more like rocks of something else, no doubt, or some drug-induced hallucination you have while you're struggling to get up off the floor).

You've pushed me, for one, past the tipping point now.

I've heard 'em all, including schizophrenia, infertility, anxiety disorder, sports injuries, bubonic plague, anthrax, alcoholism, snakebite, shark attacks, botulism, scurvy, jungle rot, measles, yellow fever, beriberi, flat tires, flaking house paint and now insomnia.
