Stop Smoking List

Things I don't like about cigarettes:

I wore the patch for like seven weeks, and now I've been a week or two without it. I have more cravings with the patch than without it, but, the patch really helps me to control my emotions.

I wish my wife knew what I was going through. She hasn't been very supportive and that sucks. (To her, quitting smoking appears to not be much more effort than switching brands of bottled water.)

I know what you're going through, for sure for sure.

I quit smoking one time for six months. I was on a six week business trip to the Orient and cigs were dirt cheap on the plane (duty free). I thought,
"Gee, quitting was easy six months ago. I'm just going to smoke for the duration of this trip and then quit when I go back home."

Your excuse is way better than mine But it is an excuse. The reason you went back is because you are like me: you are a drug addict.

It doesn't matter what kind of shit life deals up, you just can't smoke.

:-P. Is this an "X" rated N.G. now. Snow is proudly showing off her thingy?
HOF (here's my thingy)

yop sometimes not so slowly.

i quit for two years & gone back i am remarkably quiting again now & today was my first day of going cold turkey after hastily wearing the patch for 4 days.
i figure cold turkey is the best way for me as it shall always remind me that no matter what i use to quit the addiction stays with me forever... and this cosnmtant fight against the things you don't like reminds me of life in general anyway

but keep it up the need for a cig disapears... the reason why i gone back after 2 years is because i gotten into a car accident at a point in my life that was very stressful to begin with, so stress sort of added up , and i frantically lighted my first cig after the car crash and just kept goin...

i will not make that mistake again!!!

hi guy

yep you are a junkie. totally. nice realization, isn't it?

welcome to planet NicFOAD.

our ever trusty susan posted the quit stats this week. in the main posting, there is an item called Junkie Thinking. you need to read it.
after all this time, it still pops in my head. you will not believe how a few plain words can affect your ideas.

it really helps when you are actually trying to talk yourself into smoking without realizing it. yah that happens. happened to you didn't it

"Snow"

Snow, It is just amazing how many "good reasons" I've come up with to smoke.
Its funny how these great reasons seem to come about when I've got a crave!
I could have easily blew it yesterday. I've been w/o the patch for about a week now. I meant to bring one with me yesterday on my way out of town but I forgot. Whatever, I made it through the day yesterday.

Guy, have you bought your paintball gun yet? Its a great stress reliever and comes in handy on the freeway. Just shoot the idiots. This way its a public service and you can't get in trouble.

27) They will slowly kill me.

28) I shall smell as horrible as all those other peolpe I can smell who smoke.

nice 'thingy' there, snow.... <wink>
