PQ, how’s it going for you with all of this? What has worked the best for you? The gum & patch route was a total miss for me. How well did you do with that smokeless cig thingie?

I made a deal with myself to be smoke free by the time I get my car. One of my better ideas, if only I was better at avoiding the cigs. The dang things jump into my fingers already lit when I’m not looking. No you say?...oh yes they do!

I did good last attempt a few years ago until someone pissed me off. And you know how that is.. it’s either kill the idiot, or go out and have a smoke. Because... no one has ever been issued death by lethal injection for smoking (guess maybe because it would be the same thing?) and I’m almost certain killing is illegal (excluding TX).

Needless to say, this smoke free thing isn’t going well. :(

6 weeks and counting. Still think about lighting up all the time, but trying to learn to deal with stress without a smoke. I am about to deploy, though, so the ultimate test is coming up. BTW I smoked 1.5 packs a day for 15 years. If I can do it, anyone can..

I'm in Iraq right now and it's really hard to quit over here. Lot's of people do it tho'.


Here is how I quit smoking. The wife told me either quit smoking or you ain't gettin' none. That was such an easy decision.

I made the same deal about my car. AND to all these guys on here. I'm gripped. It's so easy for a non-smoker to look down on a smoker and to tell them to just simply quit. I did the same thing during the NINE YEARS after I quit the first time. (smoked for 7 years, quit for nine, picked it back up )

Guys, the first time was really hard. This time is insane. I'd almost murder for one after a few days.

Chantix scares the hell out of me.

I got a million excuses to continue and 2 million good reasons to quit. It's not that easy the second time. I have no doubt I will, but I gotta find that 'Way'. I know, I know, "Where there's a will there's a way", but easier said than done.

DO NOT START BACK. THE SECOND TIME IS MUCH MUCH MUCH HARDER. PLEASE TAKE THIS TO HEART.

I thought I'd just have a few for the hell of it. OMG, I can't explain it.

Bonnie... Sounds almost like an invitation to me. You know know what you need to do; lets get this done.

PQ - I know its hard. Im going through this same thing with my dad right now. He had a really, really hard time quitting the first time (even tried hypnosis and whatnot) and he's having an even harder time this second time.

LMAO @ PQ.


My wife was serious about it too. I thought I would just chew gum and cover the smell. NOPE. In the end my other brain gave in and made me see reason.
