Ok.. Quitting Smoking..

[LBIggle]

Krazy Glue works best, honestly.

depending on how ambitious he wants to get both would probably be successful.  though.. blood loss and being poisoned might kill him sooner then the cigarettes.

So, for anyone else who quit at New Year's...how are you all still doing?

Here's my stats from MURP's desktop application, which I probably check every day or so (it's helped deal with cravings MURP, thanks again):

I have been quit for 1 Month, 3 Weeks, 6 Days, 1 hour, 10 minutes and 46 seconds (58 days). I have saved $92.87 by not smoking 464 cigarettes. I have saved 1 Day, 14 hours and 40 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 1/1/2006 9:30 PM

Put on a couple of pounds, but am hoping to up the exercise when the weather gets a little warmer. Overall, I feel better, definitely breath easier, and after the first few weeks, have lost most of the urge to smoke. Drinking and work stress bring the urge back, but overall it hasn't been as tough as I thought, so far.

That's good to hear.

For the exercise, you should try playing sports, instead of just running/jogging if you have the time. I don't know how old you are, but if you are older, I know older people that went to my old gym all the time to play basketball and tennis outside. 50 year old guys trying to stay in shape that played a couple games every day.

It's always easier to lose weight and stay in shape when you are doing something you enjoy, so you might want to try to play a little sports while doing other exercises.

Just a suggestion.

i had to reformat so unfortunately the little program was lost.. i've been mostly good though. i still can't kick that damned drunk cig.  i'm not even close to smoking a pack a day or anything like that.  i maybe went through 2 packs since i "quit" and one was on my boys birthday.   the fact i can negotiate stairs without grabbing an extra breath or two at the end is enjoyable.   as is the fact that if i stay "quitted" i have a realistic shot of living beyond 65.  and keeping my larynx as well.

I'd already "quit" before New Year's, but I really quit since.  I had two cigarettes the weekend after my birthday, and I thought they both tasted like ass.  I have no desire to smoke again.

You're lucky.  I still get cravings pretty much every day, and I quit in October.
That occasional cigarette stuff didn't work for me in the past.  I ended up smoking again every time.  It's cold turkey or nothing with me, unfortunately.

That really sucks, man.  But as long as you know, you can avoid having one in any situation.

Just don't try to give up booze, too.  Impossible.

It's been 24 hours since my last cigarette.  Not so much because I'm actively trying to quit......I've just been too lazy to go to the store.  I guess I'll just ride this one out and see where it takes me. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It really sounds like you're committed to making this last right up until the time you next go to a retail location that sells cigarettes.  My crystal ball says you'll fall off the wagon right about then.

[Sgt PSN]

Just got back from the store a few minutes ago.  I needed milk for my Golden Grahams.  I think I would have been ok except the local convenience store is one of the few remaining that still allows you to smoke inside and there was like 5 people in there puffing away and sucking down coffee. 

I should have just poured water on my cereal. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Ha!

my real problem is alcohol. if i didn't drink i wouldn't smoke. i can go days without a cigarette...but if i drink a beer...i smoke a cig. i might move to canada. a case of busch cost 37 bucks and a pack of cigs cost 8. free health insurance yea!
