Nah, dahling - only the *friendly* kind !!!
The other kinda hugs are reserved for errrr...umm....u know.....
Of course I know they're the friendly kind, silly!
still on the nails here too, Rae.
If you can convince Letty to quit, I might as well............ :wink:
If I can convince Miss Letty to quit, I will have gotten to sainthood.
maxsD - what about max? hasn't he told you to quit yet?
I don't smoke in front of him, I don't hide it, I just don't do it when he is around.
MaxD, you are to be commended for not smoking while Max is around!
Rae never smoked while her son was in the room or car either, and I loved that about her. It takes a lot of willpower and tons of love to do that!
So, uh......when does this start?
<curious, surrounded in a cloud of smoke>
Heroin is easier to quit than smoking. Quit when you are ready with the knowledge if you smoke just one, you are going to have to start all over again. I quit when they went up to $1 a pack, I can not see how people can do this at all now. I was out of work with a fractured skull and everything hurt so I quit and I started walking whenever I had the craving and ate ton of carrot sticks and celery, drank water by the gallons, and walked some more.
Putting smoke in your lungs and alcohol in you belly have NO benefits! good luck and there is a prayer here for you from me, zed
Osso ~ I have twelve more days to go with the program I'm on.
Thanks, zed. I can really appreciate the way you quit smoking. The cost is astounding nowadays.....
When I started smoking, a carton cost $9 and some change. Then I got to know someone who had privileges at the air force base exchange and got my cartons for only $2 each ~ I couldn't believe it!
Taking Wellbutrin worked for me the first time. I took the medication for two weeks ~ smoked the whole time ~ and gave them up on the fifteenth day, with ease. The craving didn't go away for a while, but I wasn't the least bit concerned about lighting up.
For anyone who doesn't know, Wellbutrin (or the generic Buproprion) is not a narcotic. It's an antidepressant.....and at least for me, it kind of 'turns off the switch' whenever the craving for a smoke hits. Even after two days taking it, it's already having that effect.
Another benefit, for me anyway, is that the drug calms me down. Externally, it would appear to most that I don't even have a pulse, but internally, there is complete chaos. All the time.
After two years of living together as adult and adult-child, Mom summed me up pretty good.....She said that I appear to not have anything together, but I always have everything organised and together when the time counts.
IMHO, as long as one can give up smoking, the benefit can only be good.
Zed, I have also heard it is easier to quit drugs than cigarettes!
Glad to hear you are a reformed smoker, and I sure do know what you mean by the expense. I've even heard in England and Ireland they are $7.00 a pack!
Who the heck could afford it?
My brother rolls his own cigs., and believe me, you can hear it in his chest and lungs.
I have a sister who is 49, and already has a concaved chest, a sure sign of emphysema.
So, quitting is good ... never smoking, is better!
Ah, good, I wasn't sure you had started the official quitting yet...
The official quitting has started ~ but, I have to let it run it's course......worked before......it will work again......
Keep me in your good thoughts, please!
