Quitting smoking (HONEST!!)

[AVGWarhawk]

She talked me into it Then again, my other daughter talked me into a hypercoaster called Apollos Chariot.....never again.

I've been clean for 3 months. I knew I had to quit and since I managed to do it once I figured it'd be easier second time round. It wasn't. Still got the powerful cravings for a smoke, hell going on 3 months clean I still get cravings for one.

Gotta remember to thank my girlfriend when I get home tonight, she's the main reason I quit this time. That and my parents are outright opposed to smoking.

Yeah, try the book McBeck recommends. Allen Carr, 'Stop Smoking the Easy Way'. I have heard from several that reading the book makes something click in your head and the cravings are diminshed quite a bit or are gone all together. In my case the cravings are totally gone...going on my third week. I used to smoke about a pack a day. My wife had her gravings diminish. Here friend who is reading the book know AFTER she stopped smoking a week ago was experiencing the cravings. About chapter 5 she said something clicked in her brain and the cravings were gone completely. I got the book from Amazon for $10.00. Best $10.00 I ever spent.

This is a short interesting medical film about COPD



Wish you all the best of luck, I still keep a check myself even after a year

Thanks for that

Still cigarette free during this month of June.....very early days I know.

I've found it suprisingly easy thus far but am well aware the true battle may well lie ahead.

Excellent Jim. I passed week 4 just yesterday. I get a graving every now and then but I think that I have gone this far and do not want to screw it up. I still cough up the nasty tar but not as near as much as 4 weeks ago. Tell you want, my bank account sure is much fuller. Since both me and my wife stopped we are saving $14.00/day. That is $98.00/week. If we multiply that by 52 weeks that is a $5418.00 in savings/yeaf. Do you realize what kinds of vacation we could have with that money? You bet we do! We are already planning on a Disneyland trip next year.

Keep it up man, somehow when you kick the smokes you feel empowered and in control of your own destiny. Think about it, you kicked the most addictive crap on the planet. That says something about you as a person

Good going, hang in there Jim. You're too clever by half to be a smoker. You can do it, man

I'm pulling for you, it won't be long and your sense of smell will return. Next time you get in an elevator or a car with a smoker, you'll realize how bad the stench is.
