Nicotine can be a demanding mistress. Good for you Gordon!

February 28th of this year, I smoked the last cigarette. Especially difficult was the first two days. In order to drown out the craving for a cigarette, I started this jam. So I bought another problem - I have a tummy. True, this problem has been partially resolved and is not as serious.

I've been quit a lil over 2 years, with a few moments of failure, smoke one or two, but stopped.....I still want to pick them up, but been several months since a failed moment.
After my last post about my father I see a few on down or up depending on how you view things, he died a slow and brutal death. He was finally sent to a hospice hospital the last week. He had his last smoke about lunch and died that night....

Well done Wim, keep it up. I stopped shortly after the SubSim Meet 2008 and a couple of weeks after Chris (AVG).
Can't honestly say I miss em and that's even during a drink.

On Monday I'll be 40 years without a cigarette. Well done, by the way.

Thank you for trying to make me see the light and thank you for being another person who reinforces the fact that an addict's eyes are blinded. I know that now. You knew me then more than I knew me! I've accepted what I am now, a drug addict. I've demonstrated it quite effectively by changing the delivery method. This stops and it stays stopped. Thank you for trying to help me and remaining calm when I threw it back at you. 8 days off the nic, 1 year and 4 months off the fags. Good luck to all the other subsimmers ridding themselves. |

Good for you man! Nicotine addiction is tough to beat but it can be beaten and you're proving it.

I wonder how Dowly is going? Did he give in?
Giving up was one of the best moves I ever made, the price of cigarettes in Australia is around $35 a pack moving up to $40 (the commie government trying to force people off them). what is it in the US?

Not quite that bad. $9-10 I a pack I believe. To think I used to buy Marlboro Reds for $2 a full carton at the PX back in the day.

I think that has some state taxes thrown in there too, August. Here we can get them for about $5 a pack. Of course, theres always the 'local' Indian reservations, people will make the 2 hour trip to get the really cheap cartons.
