What is Reddit's opinion of Get Rich or Die Smoking?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You should get a cessation app for your phone. I have one called <em>Get Rich or Die Smoking.</em> (Android)

You start by entering the cost of a pack of your favorite smokes, how many you smoke per day, and the last time you had one. It then tracks how much money you've saved, how much tar/nicotine you've not inhaled, health milestones you've reached, etc.

There's been many times I've curbed an urge by looking at this app and being reminded what I've accomplished.

Here's my stats:
Last smoke: July 5th, 2016 (148 days, 20hrs ago)
Cigs not smoked: 1488 (~74 packs)
Cigs of relapses: 0
$$$ Saved: $427.93
Time Saved: 4d 3h 13m
Nicotine Not Inhaled: 1g 636mg
Tar Not Inhaled: 20g 832mg

Good luck! You can do it!

The want to quit will help you so much more than anyone telling you to. You've got that now, so it's a huge step.

Everyone is different, but I found it useful to track how much I was saving once I quit.

I used this app, but I'm sure there are others. It tracks how much you used to smoke and how much they cost, and shows you a running total of how much you have saved. Every time I felt the itch to have one, I'd look up how much I had saved so far and find something online I could now afford that I couldn't before.

An american holiday was fully paid for in only a few months!

Yep. I was on and off the vaporizer for a while. I stopped using it because it was a pain in the ass, and wasn't really saving me any money (and certainly not any effort).

I also tried setting goals for number of cigarettes per day or whatever. That didn't work for me either, I would just skirt my own rules. The only way I could get off nicotine was to deny myself entirely, and so far that's working.

To keep myself motivated, I'm using the Wishlist feature of Get Rich or Die Smoking. Basically, every cigarette I don't smoke is a step towards a fun new toy (also helps to keep me from spending too much money on fun new toys).

This helped me immensely to give up nicotine. I just went cold turkey for ten days eight odd years later... I'm getting rich 😉

This is the one that did it for me. Good luck!

It shows you the health benefits for various time based milestones and includes a progress bar for reaching the next milestone. It was those damn progress bars that kept from ever lighting up again....it was a real concrete visual reminder of how much I would loose by having to start over again. It's been eight years for me :-)

Boas. Usei esta aplicação, é bem porreira para ir acompanhando o progresso: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GetRichOrDieSmoking&amp;hl=pt_PT

Só consegui deixar de fumar quando desisti de tentar fazê-lo com ajudas (pastilhas de nicotina, etc.). A minha receita foi deixar de meter nicotina para o corpo, e fazer desporto para descontrair. As duas primeiras semanas ressaca-se um bocado pela falta de nicotina, e temos de respirar fundo muitas vezes para não stressar. A partir o corpo já não precisa da nicotina, é mais psicológico, e por isso é ir refazendo os hábitos. Vai ser difícil quando não fores à rua fumar um cigarrinho naqueles jantares de grupo, vai ser dificil não rematar uma boa refeição com um cigarro. Mas com o tempo, esses prazeres são substituidos por outros, e a vida continua. Não fumar tem um sem fim de vantagens. Tudo te sabe e cheira melhor. A comida, os perfumes, a namorada(o) :D, etc. Outra vantagem é a de poder juntar o dinheiro que se gastava em tabaco para comprar coisas, fazer viagens, etc. Em quase 5 anos já poupei 6000€. Fui utilizando este dinheiro para merdas, não o poupei ao fim ao cabo, mas deu para ir passando uns fins de semana fora e comprar tecnologia.

Na fase de desmame ajuda fazer desporto, e ajuda praticar respiração profunda. Quando estava com uma "crise" de vontade de fumar, eu costumava parar o que estava a fazer, e respirar fundo, para a barriga. Devagarinho, com um ritmo quase como se estivesse a fumar. Inalar, esperar um bocado, expirar devagarinho... Repetia isso até me passar a vontade. Funcionou bem comigo. Fazer bastante desporto também foi uma ajuda tremenda. Correr, ou outra coisa qualquer, que seja aeróbica e que puxe pelo pulmão é porreiro, parece que ajuda a limpar.

E passados uns tempos de teres conseguido deixar de fumar (porque vais conseguir, acredita!), usas o mindset para outros objectivos duros de atingir. Pensas assim, epa então se eu deixei de fumar e foi tão difícil, vou fazer isto que não há de custar tanto.

boa sorte!
