Yes Bushy..... The heaviness did come back. I feel like shit again. Day 2 and 3 off were the best. I could actually take more air into my lungs. I am so dissapointed in myself, but I know I will try again and keep trying until I do it. It's just a matter of time.
Well now you know that it makes a difference in as little as a day in how you feel. Knowing that will make you wish to feel your lungs free again. Soon couple your no tobacco morning with a good walk in the fresh air. You will be amazed at how even a short brisk walk of one mile or less will make you feel. You will feel proud of yourself.
I can't wait for you to prove your worthiness to yourself lady olive. I have faith in you because my intuitions never lie. BOG
Congrats Ms. Mess!! I see you had to keep yourself busy for awhile to help the cessations.....
Can ya'll stand encouraging yet another quit smoking?
My kids are all over us to quit, and not just nagging... But crying... My hubby and I have decided to quit together No date, but once I grab some patches from the PX, we're on our way...
Only problem is, there is a 2 pack a day chainsmoker in the house. Only smokes in her room, but of course when you're trying to quit you can smell cigarette smoke 2 counties away. Either way, we're committed.
My only previous sucess was for a week. Mr. T can set the smokes down and never pick them up again, no problemo ....
The other smoker in the house is welllllllllllll on her way to emphysema, hasn't seen a doc in I can't tell you how long..... She is litterally drowning. The flu will kill her. Don't even bother trying to discuss drinking or smoking, as she will tell you to go pound sand...
If I don't quit, that will be me in another 40 years......
Wish me luck, I don't plan on going out of this world "drowning" in myself
Miss mess, yes indeed we are proud of you as you have passed through the second door and I see you opening the third door soon. It will certainly be my pleasure to award you some Lifesaver seeds and at that time you will be so proud to know you earned them.
Ivy, you decided. You can see your alternatives and it seems that you are logical about it. You know its a no brainer but addictions aren't rational or physical as much as emotional. Like food we turn to tobacco for comfort and support. It's a habit and like a crutch it can be discarded.
My dad once told me that as a teen he had a bad habit of spitting for no reason and he decided he wanted to stop the habit. So he asked his buddy to punch him if he spat. Not long later my Dad forgot and spit and as required his buddy really punches him good. My dad said that did it.
I wish it was always that easy but don't make me hit you ladies. I would rather make out.
This isnt my book but it could be me on the cover...
Get into other things like eating for a while. BOG
If you buy them at the two week price its cheaper and they cost less than cigs actually except perhaps at the final stage. Other stores have generic patches often exactly the same brand inside the package and get the kind that work for 24 hours and the left over hours not used when sleeping can be used the next day for the remaining hours. The gum is far cheaper so get some of that as well in the small size 2 mg for quick fixes when needed. BOG
Will do, and will keep you posted. The countdown has begun!
I just wonder, what will life be like without a smoke hanging from my mouth while working on flammable liquids?
Ever notice the dumb things smokers do in the name of the addiction? Oyi!!!!!
Also on the lookout for a cheap grinder to help roll some joints Gosh I despise that part of weed smokin. Bongs are so much easier, but I'm leaning towards rolled smoke to help me get over the hand thing.....
I'm on day #11 today and still smoke free, cravings are not as bad as they were the first 3 days but still there, I'm hoping that after a month I'll be craving free and forget that I ever smoked. one day at a time
Wellthisis the last staw. Last night I fellasleep with a sig. and woke up smelling smoke.DAMNIT did it again. So now what to do? I am going to start off by cutting down. then I will buy the patch and gum. Ifirst started smoking when I was 11or12 full time. I started smokeing for the buzz! well then I was smokeing just for looking cool I guss. BOG your a inspiration to us all,growers and non growers alike.I am setting a goal for Feb 11 my birthday to quit. So wish me luck. I will check in on that day to give an update. Until then thank you BOG for the inspiration to do this once and for all.
When I quit I just quit didn't slow down or switch to lights. I smoked for 9 years. I quit last year, well no 04 actually, and read BOG's thread on OG shortly after. But not to try and get you down just letting you know my experience, and good luck with Feb 11th
I've been smoking for around 19 years. I made up my mind to quit with a little inspiration by BOG. So with the help of the patch I plan on being Nicotine free, by my birthday in March. My wife is also quiting with me, So we are putting em down. For Good. It can be tough and tempting at times. But just bear through it. We all can do it.
hooray to everyone who even attempts to quit smoking. it's been a little over 6 months since i quit. i was really afraid at first, but it got easier. i miss smoking tobacco, but i know i would miss being alive more.
BOG, sorry i never hollered back. my computer was fuct for a long time and i'm having difficulty securing a safe addy. if i'm ever able to get it together i'll pm you. regardless, the thought of free seeds was the final thing i needed to really go for it, and i really appreciate that.
With everything going on with BOG I Though it might be a good time to bring this thread up, This thread alone was the reason I quit, I knew I needed to and this thread gave me what I needed to give it up.
74 days since I quit, Thanks BOG and good luck with everything!
