Now the last word is tricki in spanish if you leave the dash over the "N means Happy ass. SO have a happy week, dont celebrate a day just take a week.

Smoking close to the heart. My advice I am always compeating with my self so when I quit somikeng a make a bet to my self. Today only 20 and every other day I said lets do 1 less until I got to 10 a week. Is slow but it work for me.

Darn you guys are WAY late. But thanks anyway. August 8th was the big day.

Smoking.... okay I will confess. I didn't have the will power to stop, back on the cigs at the old rate of a pack a day. Someone make sure to give me a good kick in the butt at ROC

 

[Chuck Irby]

I think I'll just plan to have a club and whip your ass the next time I see you. Yep, it takes a real man to stop smoking.

 

[GyroRon]

I guess I am just a bitch then! Cause I stopped for nearly a week and just couldn't stand not smoking, so I started back up again. I do want to quit and will probably try again this winter. May look into some of the stop smoking aids

 

[Chuck Irby]

Ron, if I remember correctly, you never quit. You just slacked off. That never worked for me. But once I decided to quit, I did. It sounds to me like you just simply have not decided to quit yet. It's all mental. You can do it if you decide to.

 

[GyroRon]

your right Chuck.... Well I gotta go grab me a quick smoke before I get ready for work

 

[Chuck Irby]

You AH! That was a good, honest reply, Sir Ron, of the C's.

I'm kinda glad I didn't remember. What do you buy the man who has everything? Or, more accurately, has at one time or another had everything, then sold it?

[birdy]

Sorry you couldn't do it Ron,gess your as weak as me.
I wean myself down to bout 5 a day from the usual 15/20 every summer,but the staff usualy have me go'n full puff by the end of the mustering season.
Mind you,if you'd succeaded,I'd have to give up too.Can't have you beating me that easy.

 

[GyroRon]

Well It gets real cold here in the winter and I have to smoke outside. I think I will really try to quit once it gets cold out. I want to use my free time this winter to quit smoking, get on a diet and lose about 20 pounds and just get in better shape overall.

 

[Heron]

Hi Ron . . .loosing weight is good! I came down from 210 to 203 and aim to 190, not that easy after the first 10 lbs.
Keep trying on those smokers . . .

Smoking success

Smoking success

Well, happy belated birthday. up to my wrenches in work. Good cause I am in the red. ...

Spoke to some guys who quit smoking. Both had success with ACUPUNCTURE. (I had tried it for allergies, but became too expensive)

I know it sounds crazy but this guy tried and tried and nothing worked for him. The acupuncturist stuck points around and in his ears. He said it was slightly uncomfortable at first then it got hot and all weird . he did not tell me how many treatments he went for. That was 2 years ago.

My father inlaw quit cold, however he started a health work out routine and lost 70 lbs. Now if he could only just have 1 beer.....thats another story.

I had success with Numerology and palm reading, with a little $cientology thrown in for good measure!

Seriously though... it's been incredibly hard for me to quit. But it appears I'm going to have to by the end of this month... starting a new job and the whole complex is non-smoking. I'd try hypnotism, but I've seen the movie Office Space too many times

Hey Ron,
If everybody quit smokin'--then those doctors and undertakers will have nothin' to do...they'll say "hey we oughta go to law school"...then we'll be in a real mess, all those lawyers runnin' around lookin' for trouble. Enough lawyers as it is. So do the country a favor 'n light up!...

(reverse psychology, heh heh heh...makes 'em quit every time...)

 

[mrford61]

Have you all heard of Nico-Bloc.
Believe me this stuff works. It is like a syrup that you inject into the filter of your cig that blocks the nicotine etc.
You start with 1 drop, then 2 and eventually get to enough that you are blocking all addictive nicotine while you are still smoking.
You will still suffer some withdrawals but the psychological hurdles are helped by the fact you are still smoking.
When you are weaned off the nicotine and other nasties then giving the actual ciggies away is quite easy.
It is expensive, not without some effort but anyone who wants to quit will get through it with this stuff.

I havent read all this thread so sorry if it has been mentioned already.

 

[Aussie_Paul]

I am so glad that my dad made sure that I never lit up. He hated the fact that there was something that had control over him!!!! He eventually gave up, but I was lucky never to start.

Stick with it people.
