7. That's what I hear.
I've never tried it without nicotine replacement before, and the cravings are a MOTHERFUCKER. I really can't wait 'til I feel normal-ish again.

10. Well, I may or may not be able to quit smoking,
but after seeing that picture, I can say with some confidence that I never want to fuck again. :cry:

6. GOOD!!! Keep goin' man...
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 10:55 PM by adsosletter
I quit 20 years ago...you won't believe how good yer gonna' feel and what a difference it will make.

Hang in there, and avoid the stuff that triggers the desire (I know, I know, but it WILL get easier, and soon).

:thumbsup: :applause: :D

edit: cause I still don't have the smilies memorized...

19. My biggest trigger was washing dishes
I always had a smoke going in the window sill while I washed dishes. Here is a link that might help, it helped me. http://quitsmoking.about.com/od/cravingsandurges/a/101thingstodo.htm

I have been quit for over two years now. Used the patch and group. I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of group, but it really helped. All of this was free!

I hope you're asleep now, seeing as it's nearly midnight in your time zone....

And that your slumber is restful and peaceful...

YOU CAN DO IT! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN THIS ADDICTION!

Hang in there.....you will save money....

And, more importantly, you will save your life...

18. Think of it all as material for the Rock Opus you've always wanted to write
It may or may not be great, but DAMN it'll be hair-trigger edgy!

Good luck, bro:D

Ok, seriously, that's a good thing to do for your health and pocket money. I don't have the nerve to quit smoking yet, so I envy you at this point. It will go away soon I'm sure. :)
