Palin's Bra: Support for Quitters (of nicotine delivery products)

[ALady]

Impressive work, you guys!  Keep it up!   

Gotta say the Ruckus altar boy pic has scarred me for life, though.   ;D

Today makes 130 days tobacco free!  Still having cravings, but...no butts.  Now, when I'm out of breath, its usually a good thing.  ;)

I think Ms. Wiz was holdin' strong.  How's everyone else doing?  Tomorrow would be a great day to quit!

[the_wizzard]

Today is day 141 or 142 (something like that).  Still suffer from cravings too.  What is crazy is that I just want to smoke something.  Just not cigarettes (nasty-icky-poo-poo).  Luckily, in Oregon, there is help for that  ;)

[Ruckus]

Congratulations guys!  I wish I can say the same but I've been an on and off'er since mid March.  Days w/o then weekends with and I haven't been able to kick it for more than three days at a time.  I might attempt to dabble in the E Cigs.  Tried one at the bar a few weeks back and it did the trick.

Keep it up.  You guys are the beacon of hope I continue to chase.

Per usual I blame Johnny because of the above posted photoshop job.  I too lose sleep over that picture.

Sorry, I was in a hurry for some reason.  Bad photoshopping is a bit unsettling.

The lack of postings here could suggest folks have fallen off the wagon, but you can always hop on again.

I started smoking at age 18, in college.  I only smoked when I drank, but boy did I drink in college!  I continued smoking over a pack a day until the age of 43.  That's 25 years!

I quit at 1:30 AM on January 1st of this year, hopefully for the last time, after MANY attempts, some over a year.  Its been tough, but this thread really helped me.  Maybe it could help you.

Today marks 204 days cigarette-free!

A HUGE shout out to our mahg33ta, Kyle, who offered me a poster if I made it 4 months.  It was after 7 months that I saw what he had for me.  I can't express my gratitude, but the picture below will explain itself.  His generous gift will help ensure I remain smoke free. 

Thanks, Kyle.  You are a true friend.

Perhaps one of the first MMJ posters, c. 1999.  Awesome.

Sweet poster! I've only been smoking 5 years (I'm only 21) and I smoke on average half a pack a day. I don't consider myself a hard addict, but when I try to quit, itd hard, so maybe I am. The funny thing is, when I drink, which is a lot, I smoke wayyy more, but I think in my head how bad it is. I always have the excuse that I wanna have the best time possible at events in the future, so I'll quit smoking afterwords. For example, I want to quit, but I know I'll be drinking an partying a lot in Colorado in 2 weeks, so I'll quit after that.  :(

I need to, smoking is so bad. Took my grandma a month ago. She DID smoke from age 15-82... She must've had quite the strong body to stay healthy for that long and smoke a couple packs a day.

It's been one week since I smoked a cig. I have an app that tells me how many cigs I haven't smoked, money saved, etc. When I hit 150$ saved I'm buying a RCMH Burwell as a reward

Good luck man!  Nice way to motivate. 

WTF?!  The secada I thought I terminated is now buzzing around my living room again.  I digress.

Keep it up man.  I made it 4 months then fell off.  Now I'm down to about a pack a week.  I never take smokes to work and I only have no more than a few on weekends when necessary.  Must take it to the next level.  That app sounds helpful.  That or ecigs.

I've quit quitting so many times, and always say "fuck it im young." I've gotten drunk with friends a couple nights, gone to an MMJ show, worked, and gone to class in the past week - 4 places I surely would enjoy smoking. not to mention traffic. so I feel I'm off to the best start yet. I fear this weekend, its my sisters wedding and I know I'm gonna get hammered and be in a extra good mood. dangerous.

Everynight after work we close and drink beers and play cards and smoke inside, which is my favorite time to smoke, tonight I passed, I feel good about it.

[johnnYYac]

Way to go, Eric.  Its tough business. 

I think I may have let a cigarette touch my lips at MMJ in Boston, but can't say for sure, which is self-explanatory and shall, therefore, not count.  ;) 

Except for that minor uncertainty, I'm 100% cig-free since 1:30 am on Jan. 1, 2011!  This thread is a major reason for my success.

[ALady]

Well done, Mr. Yac!   

[the_wizzard]

Today is day 249 for me  :o

I am immensely proud of this fact and cannot believe that I smoked for so long.  Now that I am a non-smoker, I find cigarettes to be extremely gross and toxic.  But I still do want to "smoke" from time to time.  But the nasty factor keeps me from caving.

e_wind, I hope you scroll through the back log of this thread to find support.  I could not have done it without the support found here.  And may I say congratulations!  It will get easier over time.

[ALady]

And well done to you too, Liz.   :)

[StaggerLee]

Perfect.  I have been a smoker for about 15 years.  Its time to stop.  I am not going to say that I am quitting tomorrow; but i am getting myself geared up to quit in the next month.  Good to have a place to vent and get support.  The more I read these boards the more I love it.  More to come later; once i get myself into quitting mode.

I will match the offer I gave to John to anyone else on this thread.

Announce on here you are quitting smoking, and hold out for 4 months, and I'll send you an MMJ poster.    I can't promise it'll be a tennessee fire era one.

Must be a serious, regular smoker (and on honor system!)

[e_wind]

i'm quitting smoking. according to my phone its been 8 days and 11 hours. I've not smoked 126 cigarettes. (i based that on about 6 packs a week. a little less than one a day)

Well, I can't supply everyone who's ever quit, but since that was right around Johnny's start too, that sounds fair!  PM me your address....
