> [@1995z2d8"](#): > > i really am trying to quit smoking, and this thread has been done i realize that. But for those who have tried and actually quit. howd ya do it. what kinda secret shit did ya do. im fine when im home or out with friends cause they bitch me out for smoking and i am a loser and dont like people to hate me so i wont smoke if people dont want me 2. the problem lies at work. i deliver to collision shops all day and every shop is filled with like 20 guys puffing away. It kills me. I have a few main reasons for smoking. > if anyone can offer advice to these please do. > > 1. boredom- i get bored driving around at work and i smoke. > 2. surroundings- explained shops kill me its like everyone smokes. > 3. habit- i use to like my alone time while smoking. just getting away for a few minutes, catching a smoke and then back in. > > What should i do to solve these problems? dude that is me to a fucking T. Especially driving and smoking. What I did was I started to cut down gradually till I was at like 1/2 pack a day then I just stopped. That way I wouldnt require as much niccotine and the cravings werent as bad, and ther withdrawl wasn’t bad at all, just got really antsy. I’ve been free from being a slave to smoking for 11 days now :tup:. it is very hard still when im around a lot of people that smoke, but it gets better as time passes. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/smokers-who-quit-howd-ya-do-it/41841)._
