Hey guys I used to work out a lot and was in awesome shape, I did boxing, cardio and weight lifting and was ripped. Lately I've picked up cancer sticks and have noticed how much more tired and moody I am. I was wondering what you guys would recommend to quit smoking, any kinds of tips you could provide will be extremely appreciated.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

In my honest opinion it is all in your head. I used to be a smoker, but when I started coughing up flem etc I knew it was time to quit. I usually had a smoke with my coffee, or after a meal. Then it was while I was waiting at a stop light etc etc. The key is to keep busy, you don't really need nictotine gum or patches (I think they may also just be placebo effect). Good luck, if you do end up quitting you'll see a huge difference in fitness levels within the first week.

Heh, I lost $20 to a smoker on a bet about 3 weeks ago. He bet me he could run a 4.5min mile. We went to the track, I lost $20. I bet he makes a lot of money that way.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Just do it.
Is it really that hard to not buy cigarettes? When I lost 30 lbs over a summer I just stopped buying junk food.
If you don't have the will power to stop you deserve what you get. Go Darwin.
No offense.

I did it basically by focusing on the negatives all the time
This is costing me money, I'm getting anxious, I'll have a heart attack at 36 like my father, it's anti-social, girls don't like it, the lack of control is lowering my self-esteem, I have to stand out in the cold/rain/snow to do it.

You mean focusing on the truth.thefonz said:
The only uspide is you get to have a smoke (and the 30sec high from the nicotine). Otherwise it's total ****.
If you're willing to smoke cigarretes, why not ground up tires? Or a dead squirrel? or hell even dried up dog crap. I'm sure the dog crap is better for your lungs than the **** in the cigarettes.
