1 week, 5 days, 19 hours, 52 minutes. 334+ cigarettes not smoked.

And nope, it's not gotten any easier. Although I will say I really only want a smoke when I'm breathing.

Kudos... We're rootin for ya J.B.
 
Do your best. I tend to have a few after a beer or two. I find it more of a problem when it is chilly out...seem to warm me up?
All the best, David.
 
I find it more of a problem when I'm awake.
 
I hear you. I guess that I never found it as a habit...only something that I did while drinking? I do not enjoy a siggy in the morning or before lunch. I guess that I am strange?
Cheers, David.
 
Not strange at all. Smoking in social settings, particularly when drinking is involved, is very common. I know a lot of people that smoke ONLY in those situations.

I on the other hand...I smoke(d) when I do(did) just about anything.
 
I find myself too busy to hold a fag while working. If I am on the farm, I tend to chew...I know what you are going to say. Hope that Chuck is holding on? I am out, speak to you in the afternoon.
Cheer, David.
 
Hang in there JB. I quit after smoking for over 40 years. All it takes is the right motivation. Find what works for you. All I have to do is look down at the scar from the hole they cut in my chest and I have no desire for a smoke.
You can and will do this!!!
 
I'm sitting her crocheting for cripessake!

And yea, I hear you. My dad died from lung cancer at 50. We just buried Chuck's sister (65)in November, years and years of COPD and emphesema.
 
How about a Bugeye to sink your teath into.

Another nice restoration would give you something to think about.
 
And would keep my hands busy. I'm working on that. I'm crocheting a pullhandle.

Knit me up a Spyder space-frame for an Elan!? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
 
I lost two aunts and an uncle, all to cancer and other complications from smoking, all way too young.

My good friend used the "patch" he even used it at night, though you're not supposed to, he had smoked since he was 12, it took him about 6 months with weaker and weaker patches, but he did it! That was almost 10 years ago. You can do it!
 
JB,
I know where there is a 'rumph that needs restoring real bad. Be a good project for you and make a nice playmate for Emma/ :p
 
Keep at it!! Best motivation I've had recently was 17 weeks of radiation therapy on my throat. THAT will remind you whenever you get a craving that it is NOT the way to go!!! Chew something, ANYTHING! Suck on a straw! Good news for me is just got a check-up on Thursday and got a clean bill of health, got a pat on the back for catching it very early (I went hoarse and had it checked) and though it is early to say, the prognosis is I am a cancer survivor!!

PS: A tip: cancer thrives in an acidic environment - A heavy calcium supplement to the diet to increase body alkalinity will tip the scales in ones favor by not providing a good environment for any cancerous cells to grow.

OK, sorry, done preachin' Good Luck!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
Having the Docs tell you a fatal desease is
thriving in your lungs is a powerful incentive
not to light up that next smoke.
Wish I'd quit before it GOT me.

Hang tight and JUST DO IT!!!

Just take it one day at a time and chew a lot of gum.
