Prove to us that you're not as weak as we think you are. I bet you can't quit cold turkey.

Um, I did. Twelve days ago. ;)

GF:

Since you haven't posted recently I assume you have made your transition to a life free of nicotine.
:)

I've gone 6 days now without meat. Unfortunately, every time I see a ham sandwich I go into paroxyisms of pork lust. (Don't touch that one, puhleeze. :) )

GirlFriday: if you feel any craving for a cigaret just think of this:

-What's the use of smoking one? Does it make you happy? Rich? Successful? Popular? The answer is simple: NO.

Smoking has two big disadvantages (bad for your health and your wallet) and absolutely NO advantages except for a small chance on a genetical mutation which will turn you into SuperWoman, but since that chance is so small, I wouldn't go for it... ;)

I don't care how you manage to quit (banging your head against the wall helps sometimes), but you shall quit!

Failure is not an option, remember that.

PS. you could let your husband quit as well: just lock him up in a room and let him out after ten weeks :D

I am still nicotine free Chess9, you are correct. I had a bad urge for one today, but when Nutcase99 and LTK threatened me with bodily harm if I lit one, it somehow did not seem so good anymore... ;)

I've gone 6 days now without meat. Unfortunately, every time I see a ham sandwich I go into paroxyisms of pork lust. (Don't touch that one, puhleeze. )

Consider my silence a late Christmas present. :D

Elledan: I am already Superwoman, I even have the big S on my chest for it. Some people say it stands for something not so nice, but hey, what do they know? :p

GF, keep up the good work. You might want to try to avoid exposure to smokers for long periods of time for a few years. I had a boss who underwent hypnosis to quit, and several years later, he hired a secretary who smoked, and it wasn't long before he started up again. Of course, I think quitting cold turkey is a better alternative then hypnosis, so you should be fine.

My current cow orkers tell me that McDonalds breakfast is good for those mornings when you really crave a cigarette. I dunno why that is, maybe its the horsemeat :p
