JJohnson 0 #1 April 21, 2003 WTF, 13 years of no drinking and drugs and compared to the smoking that was easy. I could rip the toe nails off a kitten right now for being too cute, kick Mother Theresa in tits for being too nice, punch Ghandi for being a pansy....you name it. On the ride into work I was passed by school bus three times and coulda ran it off the road, watched it roll down a cliff and giggled hysterically while it burned.....At stop lights I contemplated beating other motorists just for the entertainment value. For lunch today I'm going to a sushi joint just to watch the cook chop the heads off of the fish. AAAHHHHH how long does this withdrawl last??? I shoulda listened to my mother and never started smoking in the first place. How was I to know she was actually right???JJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KawiZX900 0 #2 April 21, 2003 it lastts 3 days.I had quit for a week, until this weekend. I'm on my second pack. need the crutch right now though. Not going to allow myself to make it a habit after the next couple days.Re direct your energy, and look at the thought process you have when you want a smoke.Excited, nervous, angry, success, then think of something else you can direct your i deserve and i really want a smoke energy into.buy yourself some freakin ice cream.

diverdriver 5 #3 April 21, 2003 You really haven't quit if you start smoking again. That's just taking a break. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #4 April 21, 2003 Drink lots of juice. Keep lots of gum/hard candy on hand. Keep reminding yourself why you're quitting. When you get the urge for one, take a walk instead. The first 3 days are the worst. The first week isn't much better. If you can make it 2, you've pretty much done it.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #5 April 21, 2003 ell if your married you could choke you own mother....IN LAWseriously, when I quit (3packs aday) i drank alot of water COLD when I craved. I also did sit-ups push-ups and ran...etc....try it My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,452 #6 April 21, 2003 Keep post whoring, find stupid busywork you can do at work, keep lots of pencils around you can throw at the walls. I find breaking pens and pencils to be very effective sometimes. Just don't kick your dog. I'd have to kick your ass if I did that, and how would you explain to the Marines that you got your ass kicked by a girl Wendy W.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #8 April 21, 2003 You are correct: you should have never started in the first place. Thankfully, having a mother who was an incessant smoker grossed me (and choked me) out so bad that neither me nor my sister would have ever contemplated taking up the habit. Suck it up, brother. Kick that habit and spend the money you save on something cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murrays 0 #10 April 21, 2003 Hang in there! You will be glad you did. The worst is the first few days, and after a couple of weeks you're over the worst. I am rapidly approaching my 20th anniversary of butting out (May 3rd) after smoking heavily for 16 years. It is worth it. Count to ten, get up, go for a walk, deep breathing when you get the fits.

JJohnson 0 #12 April 21, 2003 Well with my new found state of mind I decided to come up with soem new rules for my step kids: 1) After your stupid boyfriends leave at 2:00 am, turn off the outside lights. If you don't I'll kick his ass and you get to pay the electric bill. 2) Turn off the computer when you are done with it or Step-daddy will kill you in your sleep with a knitting needle. You turned the damn thing on, so I know you know where the power button is. 3) After calling your stupid boyfriends at 2:30 am, to make sure he got home okay, return the fucking cordless phone to its charger. If Step-Daddy has to go in your room, dig through your dirty underwear to find a dead phone he will move all your furniture to the backyard and turn your room into the "Phone Recharging Room". 4) Return all TV, Stereo, DVD etc... remotes to where you got them from. If Step-Daddy has to launch a search party to find htem and misses any of the Football game because of it he will stick the remotes in your ass, so at least he knows where to find them later. 5) Asking for money needs to include a Please and Thank you. Special requests need to be more than 5 minutes advance notice. (For example: I need $200 for school books today, before 7:00 am!!!!!) Failure to do so will result in being beat with cattle prod. 6)The laundry room is not your hamper or closet. Clothes left in this area will be given to someone who will appreciate them and you will go to school naked. 7) Any child found guilty of not letting a dog outside to pee, will have their nose rubbed in the piss-spot that Step-Daddy finds on the rug when he gets home. Step-Daddy determines guilt as he sees fit. 8) The dishwasher is where dishes go after ou have used them. If found anywhere else in house they will be stuck up you ass. If found with layers of mold on them, you will lick them clean. 9) ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in Mommy and Step-Daddy's room is NOT yours. Before borrowing anything ask for permission. If we are not home to ask assume the answer is NO! This includes pornographic videotapes, the Sony PC-9 camcorder, knives, swords, clothes, tweezers, nail clippers, shoes or kinky sexual toys. Failure to obey will result in papercuts on your eyeballs and flushing the wound with lemon juice. 10) Giving smart-ass answers to Step-Daddy may be met with violent action. Common sense prior to opening mouth is strongly suggested. If there is any question, go ask Mommy what she thinks. Think the kids will have any problems adjusting to the new me?JJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #18 April 21, 2003 Withdrawl will last from 1-3 days. Buy these items: Aspirin (or some other analgesic) Valerian Root (pharmacies have these, for sleeping) Vitamins (multi) Lots of gum (not-nicotrol-gum sh*t)...regular gum. Use the gum whenever. Take the Valerian 1 hour before you go to sleep. Take a vitamin after breakfast or lunch. Keep the aspirin handy if a dizzy craving comes on. Use all responsibly. Each point you're craving, take it to the next minute. Minute by minute you'll pull through. I quit last October and have no regrets. Go for it!! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Great excuse for a sex vacation Let's see -- JJ, you're married, right (either that, or you're REALLY nice to your ex's kids). So there's either a. only one choice for the hot chick b. soon going to be a whole lot of stuff going on to keep your mind off the cigarettes...

FliegendeWolf 0 #25 April 21, 2003 QuoteThe first 3 days are the worst. The first week isn't much better. If you can make it 2, you've pretty much done it. But make sure you're keeping little goals-take one day at a time. Trying to look two or three weeks ahead can make it seem unbearable, but you can go all day today without a smoke, right?
