Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by ratz on 02/09/12 at 08:12:55 Hey man,hang in there,you can do it! I was a 2 pack a day smoker when I quit 20 years ago. I should have had stock in Wrigley's and David's for all the gum and sunflower seeds I went through! I does get easier though,and it's worth it in how much better you'll feel. Not to mention it's kinda nice to be able to taste food again. (And the money you get to keep in your wallet!) |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by arteacher on 02/09/12 at 08:23:16 If you can make it two weeks it becomes a lot easier. You probably read all this, but there are two aspects of smoking that you have to get over. The first is getting rid of the nicotine in your system. Takes about two weeks. The second is the habits and rituals you attached to the actual act of smoking. For example, I always used to light up when I got in the car, and with my coffee etc. Long after I was over the nicotine, I would get a craving when I got in the car, or had a coffee. That is the hard part. Good luck and stick with it. BTW I am pretty good at quitting- I've done it three times. ;D |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by nodnarbing on 02/09/12 at 08:27:13 I quit for about 10 months a few years back. Was still single, liked to go out, so it didn't really stick too well. I would "only" smoke when drinking..well that doesn't work too well when you drink everyday haha. Recently married now, much less of a drinker and just figure I need to quit before 30. Still not fun, but I do love the thought of the extra cash, trying to figure out which drag bars I want [smiley=wink.gif] |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by JohnBoy on 02/09/12 at 16:14:28 My company is offering 200.00 for anti smoking aids. So, how do I get my tobacconist to sell me cuban cigars and list them as anti smoking aids? |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by Savage_Rob on 02/10/12 at 07:57:33 Yeah, I quit quite a few years back and about doubled my coffee consumption. I was okay with the caffeine but not the fluid output. Had to cut it back a bit to about eight cups a day. Stick with it. The rewards are worth the temporary anguish. |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by justin_o_guy2 on 02/10/12 at 09:12:33 You ever ask yourself Why you smoke? What would you do if someone was trying to Make you smoke? How do they really make you feel? Smoking is dysphoric, it robs the brain of oxygen. Its nasty & it smells bad. That we could look upon it as a source of pleasure is really kinda hard to understand,, I think people use a smoke break as a socially acceptabl;e work stoppage, while they regroup & decide what to do next or how best to move forward, understanding that one need not smoke in order to justify stopping isnt so easy, employers dont grasp that, unless its an Official Break, that one 15 minute period in a 4 hour stretch,, & Ive had very few jobs that had those,. I hope that helps. |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by kimchris1 on 02/10/12 at 09:55:41 Congratulations on making it thru the first few days. Before you realize it, it will be a month and then another and before too long, a year goes by. 3.5 years ago, I quit cold turkey. I have no desire to ever smoke again. Keep yourself busy as that helps as well. All the best to you. You will feel so much better if you can continue on this path. Your going to stay quit, I just feel it. Best wishes and continued success.. :-* :-* kim |

Title: Re: Quitting smoking Post by Georgiadigger on 03/31/12 at 22:45:38 Good luck, I hope you can succeed. I've quit so many times, I am good at quitting. I just can't stay that way. I quit for six months twice and a year once. Thought I would never start back after a year but, I did. Trying to get the stress out of my life now, so I can try to succeed next time. Hopefully, riding again will help me. Good luck my friend!!! |
