RE: OT: Quitting smoking - john1580 - 01-17-2012 good luck. My wife and i agreed to quit as soon as we move into our new house. Ive been trying to cut it down to around 5 a day but usually have like 10 instead lol. Better than a pack a day though. Im def quitting as soon as the house is done, its bad enough for your health but its so friggin expensive now its rediculous RE: OT: Quitting smoking - petesahuttt - 01-17-2012 It is sickly ridiculous, you could have a case of A&G for what you spend in a year if you smoke a pack a day in MA.

Of all the things that helped me quit this was one of the top things. I sat down and calculated how much I was spending and what I could be doing with the money.

I know this is going to sound really weird to non-smokers. But I feel as if a part of my identity died. I just really enjoyed those seven or so minutes all to myself where I just went away and smoked a cigarette. It was almost like meditation in a way. I recently got a wii and am going to try the joga program stuff on the balance board just for something to do. The think the thing that scares me the most is that I'll feel this way my whole life. That it will always be a struggle against some stupid craving. I really feel for people that fall for harder drugs. The only thing that makes smoking worse is that I can get it 24 hours a day and they are less than a mile away. I did have a meeting today with a smoker and I could smell all the smoke. It stuns me to think that I used to smell like that. I NEVER noticed it when it was me, but was so overpowering. Cards help. I've been organizing a lot of base and inserts by years. Can lose a couple of hours that way. RE: OT: Quitting smoking - shezdoni - 01-20-2012 (01-19-2012, 11:18 PM)iujapander Wrote: Thanks. It's been four days. Still smoke free and it still sucks. the whole trick to quitting is to break the routines that you fell into when you were smoking. If you had a certain place that you went to smoke, don't go there for a couple of weeks, it does make it a lot easier. Like I said in my earlier post, there are going to be times, especially in stressful situations, when your going to get the urge to give in, stay strong, and don't give in, you can do it. RE: OT: Quitting smoking - john1580 - 01-23-2012 I have been inspired by this thread....36 hrs no smokes so far RE: OT: Quitting smoking - petesahuttt - 01-23-2012 3 weeks for me today Hope everyone else is still on the wagon! RE: OT: Quitting smoking - john1580 - 01-23-2012 im still on...pretty close to killing someone though lol RE: OT: Quitting smoking - iujapander - 01-23-2012 I wish I could say that I had been good, but this weekend killed me. So I'm less than 24 hours again. John, good luck man. If asked was it worth it, it wasn't. Back to square one and just as hard as it was before. Pete congrats, so does that mean more of the Lincy is done RE: OT: Quitting smoking - petesahuttt - 01-23-2012 (01-23-2012, 08:01 PM)iujapander Wrote: I wish I could say that I had been good, but this weekend killed me.
