I smoked for 31 years and averaged when I quit about 2 to 2 1/2 packs a day. Pretty bad huh?

 

Hi there
Congrats to you eyes-open--I have thought about the lozenges or the patch but I would probaly get hooked on them--my luck lol.yes,those first 3 days were the pits for me the other two times I quit!not as bad so far this time anyway-thanks for the good luck wish

 

Thanx Rita! http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5021/hug13sh.gif


http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/835/scratchhead5jm.gif Haven't even thought about "celebrating".
What should or could I do ??

 

and I thought you were probaly a light smoker you deserve a Huge congratsYou are a walking miracle--with no cravings or anything.My hat is off to you

 

go shopping and buy your self a new outfit with all that money you've saved on the ciggies or maybe 2 even then treat your self to a big steak dinner(if you like steak lol)or a big dinner of something u love.

 

Yes, bj deserves a huuuge congrats.


I started the cancer sticks at the lovely age of 11.

 

Been there ....done that... *yawn*

Anything else ?

 

Take a trip--come see me!

 

I'd love that!!
Who knows...I might just do it sometime.

 

Hope you do--it'd be great!

 

Just for those who think they can't do it! The "Wildman" started when he was the ripe old age of ten (10), sneaked mom's cig's. I was one of them types who said ain't no one going to tell me what I can and can not do, when I became older. I smoked like a chimney while in the service. At the hight of my addiction I was up to almost three (3) packs a day. A simple statement form the spouse, something like "you couldn't quit if you tried", set me off, and I became stubborn enough to say, don't tell me what I can and can not do, sound like a pattern here? Ninety nine (99%) percent of the battle is wanting to quit, and I mean really wanting to. I went cold turkey, and the first day I would have sucked the tail pipe of a big rig, but it got easier as the days passed. Hang in there you can do it.

Thanks
Wildman

 

I can symphatize with you, wildman, lol.

But the difference with me was,... I could have sucked on a whole chimney instead of "only" an ole tail pipe !!!


Good thing this is over now. *sigh*

 

I'm no walking miracle, I'm just me. All I did is ask for help. So that's the extent of the credit I can take.

 

Big congrats to you my friend Nat. Keep on going.

 

To all who are trying to quit:

The "Wildman" is willing to lend what ever support he can, just let me know, in any manner you chose. To those who are on the path, I say one day at a time, it's one day at a time. Believe it or not they do get easier as time goes by, remember you didn't start by smoking almost three packs a day, you got to that stage over time, so the reverse to me sounds logical. It also takes a few days to get all that "CRAP" out of your system. Remember they don't call it an addiction for no reason.

Thanks
Wildman

 

Oh...Yes, Thanks bj !!

I sure will stay away from smoking.

 

your excatly right Wildman,and it also takes alot of time to get the habit out of your system too.When I had been quit those 15 years,sometimes after years of being quit I would be going somewhere and for a split second I would think--got to get my cigs lol.not often-but every now and then.

 

Yes you can stop if you really want to. Rita it takes a lot of guts, courage and will-power. As you already know, just remembered your previous achievements, Rita, hang in there! (My qualifacation, 31 years clean.)

 

Thanks manOFpeace--I'm still hanging in

 

4 DAYS ~ WOHOOO !!!

For ME ~~ 8 Months - Wohooooooo !!! Lol...j/k. But yeah. catch up to me, Rita !!

Wildman

 

YIKES!!


Wildman.....I am soooo glad I quit when I did. Now, over 30 yrs. OLD... and my skin is still as smooooth as a baby's b....



Well OK. Not mentioning the almost daily added laughter/smiling/grinning/giggle lines.

I'm forever and'a day thankful for the person that invented the huge tubs of Vaseline !!

 

Congrats on your 8 months Nat. Just think. By summer it will be a year.

 

And then,
we'll party, and dance with lots of
