Ex-smokers

[tater]

How in the F did you quit? I'm gonna try to quit after I smoke my next carton. (Just kiddin'.......after this pack)

 

[Kyle]

I just decided to quit and stopped buying them and after a couple weeks of irritability I stopped craving the nicotine. Of course the last time I quit was about the eighth.... Or maybe tenth time....Hmmm.

Good luck with it though.

Mr Speedo quit with the patch. Me...when I took it off, I rolled it up and smoked it.

Yeah, I figured that is what I would end up doing too. Maybe even roll a few Zyban in there just to make sure.

I kow my dad did it with the patch and the gum..and also... trying to occupy his time otherwise. Omm.. I know he also went to the doctor and talked to him about it.

Cold turkey.

I tried "cutting down" - didn't work. It's been 18 years since my last one. Good luck - hope you make it.

When my wife got pregnant I decided I didn't want to be smoking around our baby when she arrived. So with that motivation and a prescription for Zyban I was finally able to quit after dozens of tries.

Hope you find something that works for you.

Tater,

That line in watercolor's post... Definitely keep busy! Boredom will keep reminding you to have a cigarette.

Ok, thanks. Are you still quit? Cracks me up because in our smoking area there are a couple peeps that will (no sh@t), sit there and as they smoke, tell me that the Zyban or hypnosis worked for them. Almost enough to make me wanna give 'em a 3 stooges poke to the eye......sheeesh.....some people's kids

I quit for good in '92'. Never had another or the desire.
Try being around the "Non-Filter" crowd!

Why quit?

You're gonna die anyway.

I'm still quit. Since '92'. I never tried the gum or patches though. One of the first times I was up to four packs a day while traveling. I had a couple coughing fits and threw them out the drivers window on I-65 in Indiana.

The last time I scheduled some busy time and just focused on work, home etc. and any activity to keep my mind off it for a couple weeks.

I already know what'll happen though. I'll quit smoking and the next week, get run over by a bread truck or something

I quit smoking for several months when I became pregnant. I started up again when my daughter was a few months old. It's not that I actually want a cigarette but I associate habits with smoking.

When I started up again, I was at a bar drinking. And you know, there's nothing better than a cup of mocha and a Newport first thing in the morning.

I'd actually like to stop sometime in the near future.

Yeah! It's important to keep busy!

God, if only Otter would quit...I wouldn't say a word if he "picked up" a compulsive habit...
