Stoney - I'm leaving your name on the list... I also fight those "situational" times when I want a smoke.

Buckles... the trash is still in the house... they are right there... I don't even care right now... so far.


trikikiwi - You're doing great Mike! The first in the world to stop! LOL stay at it...

SC_hunter - veryone... SC has been with us since the first post... but I can't put him on the list 'cause he's a "secret sneaky smoker". LOL... Hang in there!

Everyone else - You folks and yer support is awesome... thanks from all of us...


The calculator thingy is kinda fun to watch... That's almost become my entertainment...

Thanks Jim, I'm still resisting s much as I can. I put them where I have to go across the shop and unlock the safe to get to 'em. Makes it a whole lot more inconvenient.

We're not giving up. The daughter and son-in-law have several boxes of nickorette gum they're giving me that they used to quit. I've gone from a packand a half a day habit down to 5 cigs a day. Surely the gum will finish that out.

BTW Rob, that clip was hillarious. LOL

In the meantime, you all hang in there.

Dig's right. Hang in there, and remember what Mark Twain said:
"Anybody can quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times!"

When you feel yourself weakening, just ponder these profound words from that preeminent American philosopher Brooke Shields:
“Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.”

I quight two years ago and it was rough but me and four other guys from my shop made a pact to all quight and three out of four of us did.The first week was the worst but it helped greatly when you don't want to be the one to give in. Cold turky was the easiest way I tried to cut down,only have a couple a day and that type of thing several times but I would always go back to burning em down after a week or so. Good luck!

I hope everyone is making it through the first non smoking weekend well!!

For me, the evenings have been the worst. I guess I used to smoke more in the evenings. No slip ups so far for me, thank goodness for the patch and a lot of halloween candies.

Keep it up everyone. Before we know it, we will have a week under our belts!

You can do it. I quit smoking when I realized I had lung damage. It was not a tough decision. Its not worth it. I like the outdoors too much. I ate a lot of hard candy and still use a toothpick to have something in my mouth. If health is important to you, you will quit. If your health is not that important or you think you are somehow immune to any lung damage in middle age, then I wish you luck. If you can go without for a few days, you can go a few weeks. After a few weeks you wont want it anymore. I support all of you. 8)

I have managed to drop down to 5 a day from a pack and a half. I decided since I have some time off to go on a panning and detecting trip for a week or two ( wifes suggestion) and leave the smokes behind. Thanks Montana Jim for suggesting the group effort. Jerky and outdoors, here I come...
Good luck everyone...keep up the effort

That is a significant improvement and well deserving of congratulatiuons!! WTG!!

A couple weeks of that and you'll be much closer to the next step if you choose to take it... zero a day.

I'm not kidding... I'm a real pain-in-the-arse to be around right now... even my chat buddies and see the difference. LOL However - this too shall pass.

I hope you get a week or two away... awesome!

Remember smoking is a dirty filthy habit that well bring you closer to death than you want to be!!! Had my grandfather did not smoke he might still be alive today he would have been 97!!!!

just think how much money you could save and put it to other hobbies..also for those people who don't like taxes how much tax is on a pack of cigarettes

Re: The GREAT TREASURE NET "SMOKE-OUT" (November 1, 2007)

You dont need no nicotine patches...

...just quit.

 

[txkickergirl]

Re: The GREAT TREASURE NET "SMOKE-OUT" (November 1, 2007)

k..thought I would check in.
Patch did not help me, infact It made things worse. I did cheat yesterday and the first one was great...later the second one tasted like crap only took like 2 drags and thats been it. Been off the patch for 2 days and I feel better, its not the nicotine I miss its the habit, especially on my 6 driving hour trip this weekend, and when I start to get hungry, after I eat, and especially when I am bored. I use to go to the back of our warehouse and smoke at certain times at work, now I still go to the warehouse at those times but I just walk up and down the aisles. It seems to help some and its exercise.

Hope everyone is doing great HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!! to those who has not even cheated a little! And Hang in there all of you!
