Throwing a 4003 Away Every Year (Cost of Smoking)

[Tarrbot]

Indeed. Smoke free for 10 days or so.

I will admit to wanting a smoke here and there.

It's mainly in the evening, though, and lasts about 2 minutes now.

Last week, I did probably gain a lb or two due to my eating more when I normally eat. I didn't eat more often, just more when I did eat. I ate like I did when I was a teenager--which my younger brother tried to emulate and ended up gaining a hundred extra pounds until he shed it off.

I don't really think about smoking anymore though, other than in those few 2 minute intervals that I get in the evening. Those will subside in the next week or so, I'm sure.

Glad to hear you're doing well too.

As long as I don't have to smoke it, sure! I'm not really having any anxiety, but what the hey - let's party ...

Oh.........I thought that stuff was for pain. Congrats to all who are breaking the habit. It's not easy though is it?

It is for me personally, once my mind is made up. I really don't have any craving at all. If I had any mixed emotions about it I wouldn't be able to quit, but once I'm resolved it's through and done.

I have that with old lovers too

[wayang]

Ex-lovers? Or...'old' lovers?

[kiramdear]

Funny how old they look once they're ex ...

Hi Scott and Kira !!!

That's a great effort for both of you.

Now its onward to a prosperous and healthier life.

[kiramdear]

Thank you, Shane!

Now where's my new 4003?

[Scastles]

This has become a very interesting thread. Must say, as a current puffer, big congrats to Scott and Kira and their willpower. Hope you make it, and feel confident you will. Maybe someday I'll be there

[cjj]

Just do it!

[longboard_ric]

Thank you, Shane!

Now where's my new 4003?

Can I take a guess, and say with all that extra cash you might find one under the tree at Christmas.

Stan,

don't be scared, you can do it. Giving up is easy, I used to stop smoking three or four times a week !!!! Before I got serious about it, that is !!!!

[kiramdear]

Two and a half weeks without a slip. My sense of taste and smell have returned to normal, my singing voice is good to go and my lungs feel clear as a bell. Yee haw!

Hey Scott, how are you feeling?

[johnallg]

Way to go, Kira! I know it can get tough but think of a longer life with your Ricks.

Oh, how I have tried. Started in 1979, quit in 1987 through 1989; then started up again (loss of a good woman!). Steady since 1989. I am so stupid, I cannot tell you. Determined to knock this.
