I don't have the alcohol automatically means cigarette problem because I don't drink alcohol. However I do have the wanting a smoke after a good meal problem.

I may have a little less stress shortly though, it appears I may have a job at Walmart. It ain't much of a job but its better than what I got now which is nothing. Had the interviews today and I go back on Monday for a couple of other things. Now if I only had a running vehicle. (was stupid and forgot to keep a close eye on the oil pressure in the van and spun a couple of bearings, luckily I can rebuild the engine for less than 200 bucks)

I am proud of you. Please stick with it. My old man died an early death because of his smoking habit. He acquired it in the US Navy during WWII. Big Tobacco was passing out free cigarettes to the troops. How patriotic! He became a three-pack-a-day addict and died an early and bad death. My siblings and I have suffered from all sorts of asthma and lung and bronchial and sinus related problems - second-hand smoke, coincidental?

Reply #18 - 04/22/11 at 16:55:26 Way to go JOG, been smoke free for 30 years after a 2 pack a day habit. After the first week you have it beat except for the mental addiction of wanting something to do with your hands every few minutes. The hardest part for me was about six weeks after quiting, man did I want a butt. Take it one day at a time.

Congrats!! Cool

1 Year and 1/2 here too, just like mick, I quit cold turkey
and worked fine for me, no biggie, big lifestyle change...

health-wise the noticeable changes come after the first 90
days and then after about a year, if you learn to breathe
right you will NEVER get tired anymore on hikes, manual
labor or while doing sports, it's amazing!

Oh, there is a cheat in case you are really really serious about
never ever smoking again, it goes like this:

some ppl keep a little gerber jar with ash and a couple of used
cigarette butts in it and whenever they feel like smoking
(or in the morning) they open it up and smell it, that's it.

Trust me it works, I did that like only twice and made me
nauseous and killed my desire for a zig instantly, pretty gross.

So far, Im not seeing any increase in stamina, but, in my case, I understand that. I am able to smell things a bit better.
FWIW, I wasnt ever a heavy smoker, even back in the Marlboro days I dont think I ever had more than 30 a day, but in the last few ears Iv been rolling my own & I wasn smoking more than 12 or 15 on a Big Day, & those Id wind up only smoking about 1/2 of, cuz they get wet & Id bite them off.

dysphoric , thats what cigs are.

Ive stood right by guys smoking their cigs & it just isnt bothering me much at all.. Im not finding myself obsessing over wanting one. I was buying about 4 ounces of tobacco & that was lasting me about 10 days/2 weeks, so I wasnt just running thru the stuff. I really think Im gonna make it this time!
That whole drinking/smoking thing was what got me last time, Its been the undoing of many a "quitter".

It is a hard battle but sooo worth it; besides, having your daughter and grandchild around is a lot more fun.

You will be able to smell and taste food so much better. I found I get more colds since quitting; not sure if tobacco and the heat kill off a lot of the cold germs or my immune system is getting weaker with age. Still, the tradeoff is great. Stick with it JOG.
