Sadly sitting at home on a Friday night ordering in food after working out because I fear that I will smoke if I go out with friends. Day 6 and I'm feeling good. I promised myself that I won't consume a beverage until Das Racist next Thursday and I intend to follow through. For the 1st time ever, I've been losing weight while quitting. Keep up the good work everyone. It hurts knowing that no matter what, I'll always be a day behind Johnny ;)
If it makes you feel any better, I actually had my last cigarette at 1:40 am on Jan. 1. I destroyed the remaining 5 cigs in my pack and went to bed. I'm still considering Jan. 1 my first day smoke-free, from the moment I awoke later that morning. So that would make today day 8 in my book, but I'll call it day 7 just for you.

Call it what you want... 1 week smoke-free! Woooo- cough, cough- oooooo!

Way to go Johnny, keep it up! The rest of youse quitters too!

Keep up to AWESOME work kids! This is one of the toughest, but definitely one of the absolute best things you can do for yourselves, your families, your friends -- me included :)

Speaking of rewards, DO IT! It's nice to treat yourself to something at the end of the week, or the end of the month for all the hard work you have put in!

Most of all, don't give up on yourself, no matter where you are at....quitting, struggling, contemplating quitting....just keep chugging along.

And remember:
F*%# BIG TOBACCOhugs!

Just checking in to see how my fellow quitters and quitters-to-be are doing. Don't give up, don't give in. And if you do, don't beat yourself up. We can do this!

Amen sister!
I just finished watching The Insider (about Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, a former tobacco executive turned whistle-blower). Tobacco companies go to litigious lengths to keep their evil practices quiet. I highly suggest you all watch this movie. It is great motivation to stay smoke-free.

1st hurdle cleared. I ended up drinking heavily all weekend for football with friends and did not smoke. Into Day 9 and feeling good. Good job Johnny!

That is a great one ! And only the tip of the iceberg of the secrecy and conspiracy that goes on. The FDA should have been empowered to ban cigs as early as the 1960s with the evidence that was out there, but guess what? People are GREEDy and tobacco is a worldwide money maker!

So I bought a pack Saturday night... :-[

But, I'm going to give it another shot. Good job Ruckus and Johnny and everyone else!

bravo gentlemen, bravo. now the fun part. the breaking of psychological habit.

perhaps the hardest part. If you wait long enough the craving fades away like a memory. The day you've kicked the habit you probably won't even realize it because you'll be too preoccupied doing other stuff that matters.

by day 30 you hoe bags should be clean.

johnnYYac · Jan 10, 2011, 07:10 PM

Well, day 10 draws near its close. Actually, I feel like shit. I might just be sick, but my chest is hurtin' from some serious coughing. Lots of good stuff coming up. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Glad to hear you passed the booze test, Rob. Sorry to hear others stuggling, but you can always start over. Quit tomorrow. Good luck.

Well, one of you gonna have a strong urge to light up after the game :-\

stay strong

Have you all found something else to do with your hands? iphone has a free knot app...you could learn something new while trying to quit and then spend the money you save on a sail boat!

So true Sticky Icky. Day 25 and I found myself jonesing one around 3:30 pm today. That was the time I used to take my second smoke break of the day at work. G*d-damn f*cking cigarettes! Still staying strong, though.

johnnYYac · Jan 12, 2011, 10:43 PM

You go, girl. This thread was inspired by your post. Its helped me immensely. Day 12 done and I've cut my nicotine lozange consumption down a bit. I'm a bit worried about this weekend, tailgating and bar hopping in Foxboro for the Pats v. Jets game. But the guys I'm going with don't smoke so...

How you doin', Ruckus?
