Work out, the better you feel the less you'll wanna smoke

Yeah, being an Idahoan as well, I feel your pain! At least Boise's warmer. Idaho Falls still has a lot of snow. You think I wanna go run?

Fuck that!

Start chasing those mormon honies around instead of smoking. They sure are cute when they're young. To bad they usually don't age so well.

family is.) [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Sorry, just a poorly placed joke. It was a cheap shot. I brought something which I can't complain about at work here. I have issues with a few mormon folks and the fact that it's completely acceptable for them to vocally pass judgement at work, but if I attempt to argue any point trouble ensues.

[/ QUOTE ] It"s cool. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] Having grown up amoungst Mormon family members, they are all accepting. I am their anti-Chirst. I drink booze and coffee and smoke.I am agnostic .They are so sure of their place here and "there" that they can accept others with no hard feelings. At least, that's the way I have been treated. If you want to quit all the vices, move to Utah an adopt a Mormon family. They will take you "in", [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

I've been smoke-free for a month and 2 weeks now!
(Feel like an AA meeting coming on!...LOL!)

I just stopped cold turkey...the only way to do it I'm thoroughly convinced! I tried the "wean off" method...that sucked. I tried gum, patches, new hobbies, etc...NOTHING worked. So I got a major upper repiratory virus, and on my way back from the doc's office...I chucked my remaining 1/2 pack of smokes and my lighter out the window. It was the only thing that would help me accept the fact that I'm giving this bitch up for good!
A month and 1/2 later...I've had a nasty case of bronchitis, but over that and starting to feel MUCH better!

Don't worry dude....the cravings will be there, but as time goes by, they will be easier to rise above.

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

I quit because of an upper respiratory infection. I spent a week in bed barely able to breathe and after that I gave the smokes I had left to my girlfriend. April will make 2 years since I've touched one.

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

When I quit, I made sure that I changed my routine. That was the biggest factor. Of course, I am a smoker again...but I was able to quit for 6 years. It is the hardest addiction to break, because it is an accepted addiction. It is actually harder to quite smoking than it is to quit using Heroin.

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

i only cut down when i'm at my parents. there's no stress there unless i'm planning something for when i get back home. best thing is to get as much sleep as possible. i ran out of cigarettes on my last visit and actually slept better lying on the floor(?!). the only time i quit was when i punctured a lung and believe it or not, it was stress. quit for 7 months, didn't save the money though!

Start doing crack or heroin... they're cheaper than cigarettes nowadays. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

I had to use the nicotine chewing gum to finally quit using chewing tobacco. Quitting was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. Now when I get bored and want a dip, I just whack off. A lot.

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

I quit cigs when I was twenty. However, I've been smoking pot almost daily for over 10 years(minus a spell in the USMC). Last night I had to go to bed pretty much sober(3 beers in like 4 hours) and alone(I had doom band practice until 1:30am, and none of those dudes do I want to cuddle with).

I kept having these WEIRD dreams and waking up every few hours. I usually sleep like a champ from the moment I lay down(with the intention of sleeping) to the moment I wake up for the day... damn withdrawls...

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

When my Dad quit smoking cigarettes, he smoked a pipe (tobacco, of course) and then went on a Dentyne chewing-gum binge for about 6 months. It worked for him.

Another guy I knew who was a heavier smoker quit cold-turkey. He was sick and with all of the crud in his lungs, he didn't feel like smoking. When he got up the next day, he realized he'd gone an entire day without smoking and that it would be a real pity if he started again. He's probably the only person I've ever known who's quit basically in one day.

Re: Things to do instead of smoking?

When I was in college the prof could smoke in class. I watched one prof stoke up his pipe and inhale and talk for a minute exhaling smoke. I have a dergee and lung cancer from the second hand smoke from this prof. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
