Smoking cessation - Day Three

[Dumpster 0]

Gave up the cancer sticks as of midnite Friday night. Good thing I had the house to myself all weekend. Monday now, and so far I'm kinda proud I haven't ripped anyones' head off and shit down thier neck. But gawd the urge to light up is strong. Two choices - Kill or Smoke. mmmm Where can I hide the body of a warehouse worker?

Look into big refrigerated sorage units -

Then send them over seas to Iraq -

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

How many jumps would be in it for me? I have 400 acres and a backhoe, use your imagination.

Good deal man. Smoking sucks!!

Hope you make it a permanent deal, been about 2 years for me and I still feel the effects of 20+ years of inhaling that crap.

Again, good luck!!

good stuff. I need to quit too. Im not smoking nearly as much as I used to but...still any is to much i guess.

I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Day Four - I almost caved in, and fired one up, but was able to stick it out. My son was really pissing me off last night (you know how a 14 year old boy can be-) but I was able to keep my act together.

So far I don't need a place to bury any bodies - yet - Hopefully this will pass soon. I'm not alot of fun to be around right now!

Stick with it... a 14 year old's gonna keep pushing your buttons (IIRC, it's in the job description ). You're stronger than those cigarettes.

Oh yeah - He does - After living with his Mom for years (with little rules/structure) then coming to live with me (lots of rules, very little wiggle room) He's a bit rebellious at times too (natural) So I've had to pin his ears back once or twice.

Yep - I know I can be stronger than those damn cigarettes! And I'm saving some tall cash, too!

Got something fun planned for all that cash? Maybe that's a way to add an incentive - plan something (trip? toy?) with the money you've saved in 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, whatever.

good for you, smoking is one of the worst things you can do to yourself. my uncle quit cold turkey and lost his urge to smoke after two weeks. how'd he do it?

he hates black jelly beans. anytime he got the urge to smoke, he'd make himself eat a handful of black jellybeans.

I figure:

1 carton/ week @ $35.00 carton (nominal) x 52 = $1820.00 / year, / 12 = $151.00 bucks a month = payment on a new (or used) motorcycle.

Yeah - I've done it before, I was off for three years. Had just one drag one night at the bar and whammo - Back up to a pack a day in about three weeks. The first two weeks is the bitch.

Motorcycle? So you're going to give up one incredibly dangerous habit and pick up another incredibly dangerous habit?




Oh wait, we jump out of airplanes...

Never mind.

Perhaps if you realize that the choices really are "Live or smoke", it will help the resolve. My personal epiphany came when I found myself, sick as hell one day, saying to myself, "I wish I felt better so I could smoke."

Good luck. 27 years for me last January.

If you leave the plane without a parachute, you will be fine for the rest of your life.

First off, congrats and keep up the good work.

Just think for one sec befroe you want to smoke, is it worth it, really THINK it through. Do what ya gotta do to keep what ya got.

Congrats. I am on day 13 of not smoking!!!!! I quit before as well. I was smoke free for two years and like a dumb ass, i went back to smoking after having "just one". I don't remember last time being this hard. I am doing so well today and am proud of myself. tomorrow is officially two weeks....so I can make it. Just remember that you can do it and having that smoke won't make anything better!!! Good luck to ya and keep us updated

don't foret if you quit: you still have those nicotine receptors sitting on your brain cells.

so even if you have quit for a few years, one cig is enough to wake them all up again.

I smoked briefly when I was 17. What helped me to quit was the fact that cigs taste & smell really f&*king bad & they sap your strength. actually, that's what kept me from getting hooked on them in the first place.
