Congrats :thumbsup:

I feel your pain. It does get easier, but I have slipped in the past even after long periods of time.

My favorite cigarette ever was after I quit for 5 years. Then my mother came to visit one day and she left her pack of smokes at my house. I looked at them for a while, took one out and sniffed it as I glare at the remaining open pack. Fascinated by the shape, I twirl the pack in my left hand before discarding it a waterlogged trashcan by the garage. I then walked out on my back deck and picked up the lighter from my grill. It was a April day and the breeze was just magnificent. I lit the cigarette while leaning against the rail of my deck. The warm gentle wind wisping the beautiful white smoke closer to the pine trees creating the perfect contrast in color.
I puffed on the cigarette a 2nd time and as I inhaled noticed the rays of sunshine streaming toward my face as my toes felt lighter.
That night I only had happy dreams. Dreams of rainbows, butterflies, breast implants, and interior latex paint.

Good Job, I smoked for 20 years(1 pack/day) and I gave it up last April and have been smoke free since. Don't let anyone kid you it would be one of the hardest things you have ever done in your life but don't give up.

Avoid all situations that promote smoking like Bars.

After being smoke free for 6 months, I started coughing up water. I asked the Doctor about and he said that my body was convinced that I was smoke free and the water was aprotective layer in my lungs. It was really wierd the water tasted like seawater?!?!

After 7 months I stopped dreaming of smoking and also almost totally stopped thinking about it except in extremely streesful situations. Another thing I learned is that smoking does not calm you down it actually increases anxiety.

Feel free to PM me with questions if you like.

Few people can really do it cold turkey. My dad did it, been smoke-free for years. But I've seen friends try and fail. Nothing wrong with going with the gum or patches if it helps.

But most likely you'll start back up again..

I won't. Bet you $100.

Quitting smoking isn't a trivial thing, and although confidence is good thing, being bold about your chances of successfully quitting cold-turkey is foolish.

I hope you quit, in the end, becuase I resent the tobacco industry. However, I'd take your bet in a second if it was a realistic wager.

Good job!

Hello Mr.Presence Do you want to still say the same thing or your mind has changed the decision. I ll catch you up later.

 

[Squisher]

Good for you.


BTW-a bunch of guys at work that went online and mail ordered out of state cigarettes on the cheap just got bills in the mail from the State of Michigan for back taxes, some were $3000+. I Guess the web site rolled over on them.

You don't know me. You'd lose.

How long did you smoke for? Were you a heavy smoker?
