-

In february ive been clean for 2 years so it can be done.
-
Good luck to you. It's not impossible.
February 1st is three years for me.
The trick is to never cheat. Not even once.
-
Congrats you guys! My old man smoked Pall Mall Red's (Non-Filters) for 36 years and quit. He's been clean for 10 years.

4 years this month. One of the hardest things I'v ever done. Also one of my proudest moments.

I never became a "real" smoker. I did smoke a pipe a few times but never did like the taste no matter what tobacco I tried. I DID love the way the room smelled after a bowl full had been smoked.
The main reason I never gave it serious consideration was because I watched my Dad, a pipe smoker all his life as well as an active tubercular hemorhaging on the front lawn one day when I was 6. The smoke agravated the half of each l;ung he had left to the point they couldn't sustain him. He died 6 months later never getting out of the hospital.
I also watched as a favorite Uncle slowly suffocated from emphysima (sp?) over 3 years. He stopped smoking but it was far too late. I got him to the hospital just before he passed out from lack of oxygen. He had refused to go as he figured once he got there he'd die. He also didn't want to be stuck with an oxygen tank while at home and refused to go to the doctor to get it. He died 20 minutes after I went home from being with him the first night he was in the hospital.
If you smoke think of the repercussions of this habit on your family if not yourself. It's not just you that pays a penalty for this habit, the same as any other adiction.

Hi, my name’s KONG and I’m a nicoholic.
(Resounding “HI KONG”)
It’s been 14 months since my last cigarette.
(Smattering of applause)
Wanted to welcome Bug and…
(More applause, murmured hellos)
Yes, yes, we all welcome you and offer our support.
Just wanted to congratulate you and to let you know it will be well worth the effort. Nic is a tough mistress but can be beat with determination and support of the group.
(Whispered affirmations accompanied by a loud “Amen” from the back row)
Last week, for the first time in my 42 years, with the help of clear lungs and a clear mind, I was able to run 5 miles non-stop. I share my success with all of you…I…well…I couldn’t have done it alone.
(Raucous applause echoes through the room as KONG finds his seat through a blur of tears)

i have a quote that seems relevent to this thread....
"It's easy to quit smoking, I've done it hundreds of times."
-Mark Twain
-
I quit several years ago. After trying dozens and dozens of times I got pissed off and finally said to myself, I said "self, just ****ing stop and never start again" and I did.
All you have to do is make a commitment to yourself and keep it. Just be honest with yourself and do what you know is the right thing to do.
Just do it.
-
when i quit (the first time) it went like this: i was sitting at a bus stop and it was the last sig in the pack. i looked at the cigarette and though "this isnt for me". so i stopped. 3 years later i started back up under the stress of senior year.
-
Damn drug addicts....
-
nicotine is a hard drug actualy
:)
right now it suks
but hell im not going to buy cigarettes now
my commitment is myself when i want to go study nextschool year.
i cant when i cannot do this.
I used to smoke alot of spliff too so its a double cold turkey quit here.
-
I'm pretty sure that the tobacco companies make the idea of quitting seem harder to do than it really is.
-
Yep them nasty ol' tobacco companies go out every day and hold guns to the heads of folks trying to quit to force them to keep smoking.:rolleyes:
-
Yes. They go out and hold guns to people's heads. That's the ticket, and just exactly what I was trying to say.
Nice googley eyes. Nice rhetorical flourish. No wonder I've lost my love of this place.

After five years of smoking my 06' resolution is to quit...I am a senior, and graduating from college in May and there is no way I want to carry this awful habit with me the rest of my life...What Im telling myself is "Mike, if you cant quit something as trivial as smoking cigarrettes, then how are you ever going to accomplish any of your aviation/political (any goals in general) goals? So Im really gonna try and use this as motivation...
Additionally my family has a lot of heart trouble...My father religously jogs 5 miles every morning, everday of his life and had a heart attack at 51...He is now 63 and will most likely have a pace maker by the end of the year because of "palputations"....And he was a non smoker...So health wise im really trying to tell myself, "mike do you want to put yourself in an early grave?"
I hope I can do it, I know how tuff its going to be....Goodluck to everyone else quitting, I know it is for the better for all of us...
oh by the way, I dont think I will be able to go out and drink for about a month or two because its going to be so fvucking difficult to not cheat and smoke a butt when im smashed lol..
ALSO- for the guys that quit...now that your 1-2-4-20 years from smoking do you ever get urges? when do you get the urges? how bad are they?
:aok

-
I smoked for about eight years... quit for ten... then smoked for another five and now I've quit again for the past four months.
I used to think that the urge went away after two years. Now, I don't think it ever goes completely away. It'll always be there. After a couple of years, you may not notice the nicotine demon, but the alcohol demon knows where to find him. ;)
-
I smoked for twenty years and have been quitting for the last three. No, the urges never go away. Just writing this right now makes me want one.
-
Smoked for 20+ years, April will be 6 years without. It can be done.

FUN FACT!!!!!
Arsenic has a lethal dose for the average human with no tolerence of about 260mg. nicotine has a lethal dose for the same person of about 40mg. thus, nicotine is more lethal than arsenic.
