Well I have decided to try to kick the habit. I think it will be the most expensive decision I have ever made!!!! When all said and done I think I will be divorced, unemployed, and homeless.... I am one miserable SOB right now :mad::mad:
 
I just quit a few months back. did it with the welbutrin pill. it helped with keeping the jerk factor to a minimum. once I put em down for good the best thing for me was always thinking "they taste/smell like s#*!." Good luck, you can do it:chug:. Spend the money you save on flowers for the misses, a day out with kids or put it in the bank like we are. We opened up a new savings account and have direct deposit for $25 every two weeks from both the wife and I.
 
for me smoking was something to do when I didn't want to do anything, an excuse to take a break, think, consider options and something to do when I had to wait for something else to happen.
I found that when I wanted to smoke If I just found something else to do I was very easily distracted and could get over it pretty easy.
I can promise you one thing for sure. You will like not smoking a lot more than you like smoking.:cool:
 
The wife quit cold turkey 7 months ago and let me tell you she was a 2 pack a day smoker. So if she can do it you can also, Just keep thinking about how much more Jeep money you'll have by quitting :D. Oh and find a good shoot em up game to release the inner demons.
 
Smoked about a pack and a half daily till a year and a half ago. I quit cold turkey. I had my kids nagging me about it to keep me straight. You have to "want" to. I do feel alot better now , but it took a little to notice. Now if I could just shed a few pounds as easily...
 
Thanks for all the advice and encouragement :chug: Definately a BITCH LOL I have been chewing the Nicorette gum, trying to not chew it all the time just when the Jerk factor gets a little out of control :D Thing that sucks is all the colateral damage. Coffee in the morning GONE tried to have one yesterday and I wanted to smoke more then anything. BEER:mad: same thing I am going to be a friggen saint when it's all said and done LOL
 
Beer I remember when I quit 20 something years ago that was when I went friggen nuts. when I had a beer natural to have a smoke also but now I can't stand them.
 
I tried and failed.

Its hard. I locked myself in my room the first day. When I came out, I was screaming at everyone. I was told to leave the house and not to come back without smoking a couple first.

Good luck.
 
Well Day 3 in the books, the wife hasn't talked to me in two days LOL Chewing the hell out of the Nicorette and I think I have gained 5lbs. Can't concentrate on :dung: to damn fidgity
 
I'm not going to say it was easy when I quit, but like all things, when you hit bottom it becomes easier. I smoked 2-3 packs a day, but I finally got fed up with the coughing and hacking , not to mention the leftist socialist in gov raised the price to over $2 per pack. I mostly quit cause I was tired of hacking up crud. I seem to be one of the weird reform smokers, I like the smell of someone else lighting up. Been about 15 yrs now since I quit, best choice I could've made, leaves more money to buy beer . Good luck on your journey :chug:

Loose the gum it's just another form of nicotine. Baking soda and water flushes the nicotine from your system faster, drink two of three times a day (yuck). When it is gone all you have is a mental addiction left. Hang in there.

As Yoda said to Luke “No try, do or not do”.

The two most self righteous people in society are a whore in church and a reformed smoker. I used to smoke.:laugh:

Thanks for the advice IO, But I am not to sure on the baking soda thing that just sounds bad LOL. I agree on the gum which is why I am not using it all day, today I only had one piece and that was due to the <-BAD WORD-> hole factor getting out of control LOL But trying to white knuckle it :eek: Today will be day 4 in the books

I am waiting for those easier days :eek::mad: LOL Noticed today that what kills me is the time riding from call to call in the van, idle time that I used to smoke like a chimney. If I stay busy I am OK :D

Like I said it's something to do when you have nothing to do.:cool:

my hardest time was trouble shooting control problems.:bang:
 
Stop being a wuss. Suck it up. :D That being said I quit a long time ago as I stated before. You just need to get through the first month. Then when the urges come along once in a while you say "Am I gonna waste that month of :dung: and have to start over again a few weeks later"? It'll get better bud , stick in there. Youll be glad you did in the end!

Stay Strong!!! Your on the right path!!:cool:
