The reward is there...down the road...6months, years...years...it's tough the first 2-3 weeks, once you get over the hump...2 or months without smoking...smooth sailing. But don't put your self in position to do so....parties, watching game with beer...when you can have a few beers & not smoke, now that's success. When you have big argument with whom ever & not smoke...thumb up!!! You did it

It all in your mind...it's not a physical addiction, all mental..

 

Congrats on the little one, man!!!

My Resolution will be the same in a few months, the wife and I just found out we are having another little one, so I will be joining the ranks of fatherhood sometime this summer, again. My baby girl just turned three and now we are having another!!

 

congrats napa.

just woke up couple hours ago and doing great. kind of want one cig. but im eating sunflower seeds, to occupie my hands.
and its me and my wife quiting, im not sure that this will end up well....lol

i wish it was worm here, i would ride, when i ride i dont smoke.

how is everyone else doing

 

Had lots of wine last night thru count down...man, after nearly 2 years no smoking, urge sneaks up on me...just have to work it out of me head. So I didnt smoke...great.

Whom that have kids...I used to hide away, from the kids to have a cigarette. If you smoke in front of your kids...likely they will become a smoker when they turn teen. When you quit, educate the kids early...let them know smoking is not cool...so you plant a seed in their head. So quit smoking is not just for yourself? It's for your kids too...for you wallet, for you time. I remember I used to make 5-10 minutes here and there for a cigarette...and I smoke at least a pack a day so imagine how much time I waste standing in a lone corner or back door....quitting is also contagious...when you so it, others will follow. Keep praising about it...you can do it!!!

 

Ill ride w ya brah

 

Not to be D-B magnet

 

almost 24 hours and it is just starting to get in my head. it is getting harder and harder with every min. but it seems like its the evenings that are terrible.

I feel your pain, this sucks. I've heard that its the hardest for the first 3 days then it gets a lot easier

 

i know all about the 3 days, the problem is now, that i have a pack sitting in my car just waiting. but im still fighting, and i hope i can get through today.

i pick a lot of sunflower seeds. it helps

 

A little info for those trying to quit smoking. You will quit when you want to quit. There are over 125 chemicals in the paper alone. These chemicals would normally be produced by your body. When they are supplied by the paper you become dependent on the paper. You actually have withdrawals from the paper. It takes 2 weeks just to get off the paper. What's the difference between menthol and regular cigarettes...the paper.

There are many other bad things with smoking that the government doesn't want you to know. The nicotine causes deeper wrinkles than sun and causes osteoporosis. The tar causes emphysema. You don't hear of people dying of emphysema. They die from complication of emphysema like pneumonia. My grandfather died from pneumonia (emphysema). He told me that the last 15 years of his life were like someone put a plastic bag over his head and he was gasping for life every single waking minute. He told me that it took him 20 to 25 minutes each night to climb the stairs to go to bed.

I lost 3 friends last year from smoking. Other will follow.

I had an uncle that died from throat cancer. He told me that he could quit any time he wanted to. He said he quit at least 100 times.LOL

The government does not want you to quit. Look at the taxes they get. They are laughing at you. I don't want you to quit. If you quit they will raise my taxes to make up for the loss.LOL

Everyone that I have talked to that quit smoking did it when the time was right. They all had one thing in common, they actually wanted to quit. There was no celebration or special day, they simply wanted to quit and put them down.

The nicotine is an addictive physiological drug that may be with you for a long time but I wanted to point out the paper thing.

The cigarette companies have it all figured out with the the nicotine and all the other bad stuff you are paying good money for. They have you where they want you. It's up to you to break free and take control...if you want to.
