I really do wish you luck. You're making a good choice here. My grandma's been smoking for 50 years, she's lucky she doesn't have lung cancer. I'd be sad if she did 'cause I love her lots. But other than that, that's a ton of money put into smoking. Make your kids your motivation. Tell them to take care of you as well haha.

Hope all goes well for you.

The thought of your kids growing up healthy instead of getting those 2nd hand smoke effect like cancer and etc WILL help pull you through.

If all else fails, think of us, not even that sweet sweet cup of coffee/espresso , think of our expectation of you, of you to be able to pull through and toss that pack of expensive leaves away!!

Keep it up bud im at 3 months 1 week today will be 3m8days.

The menthol cough drops never helped me but I did go in that direction. I stuck to altoids like a shit ton of altoids when I wanted a smoke (wow 3 months...) made me sneeze and made breathing annoying as piss so it kept my mind off it. I couldnt change the craving but it was more than easy to shift it to something else.


you have more of a reason to quit, you have kids, I quit for me you are basically quitting for them.

You know what pissed me off? My mom quit for 3 years and then started again. I can't stand to watch her throw her life away smoking, but I don't know what to say. And during those three years she would go to my relatives and brag how to she quit and preach for them to quit. Now it's the opposite, she's the only one. I just try not to think about it...

is that from an elvis quote mcjones?

it takes 15 years for the average smoker to get back to normal and you never stop wanting a cigarette, once in a while you do shut down and get back on it. its a bitch but it happens just try to help her quit.

..get one of them nicotine inhalers?

and also, theres these electronic cigarettes that some people say are good to help kick the addiction
Nicotine inhalers = not quitting. I haven't had any nicotine in my body for a week, why would I re-introduce it now?

QUOTE(Man18 @ Jun 30 2009, 09:25 AM) you have more of a reason to quit, you have kids, I quit for me you are basically quitting for them.

No I wasn't smoking for them, so I'm not quitting for them. The whole "you got more reason cuz you got kids" it's a big cop out. My alcoholic friends gives me that one all the time. He'd quit drinking and spiraling down the shithole if he had kids. Riiiiiiiight.

I'm quitting for me. Yes the kids will benefit somewhat, but not enough to solely justify my quitting. Kids aren't some magical power that gives you strength beyond your normal abilities. If anything, the trials of having kids would make you wanna smoke a lot more.

So yeah, lets drop the fake cigarette nicotine injectors and magical kid-assist bullshit.

I quit smoking the cigarettes because I don't want heart disease and emphysema.

All the niceties you fill yourself up with at first are just self-hypnosis, the kids, the new car, sex with 19 year old girls... all hypnosis, all lies. The nicotine is more powerful than any one of em, so you clump em together. Quitting nicotine is hard. Real hard. "That grizzly bear just stole my goddamned cigarettes, I'm gonna rip him a new asshole cuz that was my last pack" hard.

I want power over my own life, I want the monkey off my back, I wanna drive the bus. Fuck cigarettes.

On a lighter note.. it's been a whole week.. yay me!

Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy.

EXACTLY how I'm seeing it. 250 cigarettes WERE NOT ingested by me in the past week. $62.00 has not left my pocket for the sole purpose of feeding the monkey that's trying to kill me.

I fuckin' love to smoke, like 5 packs a day.

no but srsly, quit smoking fellas, it ain't good for your health or your kids or you teeth or your skin or your everything.

Also cancer is bad bad bad. I should know, I used to volunteer at a Ronald McDonald House, and it ain't pretty watching patients' parents going outside to smoke a cigarette, and discuss how terrible it is that their children must suffer.
