Quitting smoking...

[cofi]

Well, today is 2 years!! I am amazed i havnt smoked in two years. There is not a day that goes by that I dont wish I was smoking a cig. I still love the smell and get as close to a smoker as I can so I can get a wiff.

Anyway, 2 years is a huge milestone for me!!

Congrats!!!!!! I hate the smell now but it took me years....I still get the occasional cravings especially on nice crisp cool fall days

I quit way back when but had smoked for many years. Finally quit cold turkey but pretty much slept for about 4 days so I wouldn't think about needing to smoke one. Got up and pee'd and went back to sleep

Thanks everyone and congrats to all the other quitters out there!

So I decided yesterday that I needed to quit smoking. I've smoked for almost 29 years and I aint getting any younger or healthier. So yesterday I stopped, I had my last cig yesterday afternoon and that was it...

Well holy sh!t if today isnt one of the longest worst frickin days of my life!!

I have been doing everything I can to try and keep my mind off of it but man its tough. Then I am outside mowing the lawn and the little disrespectful brat neighbor kids are dragging there basketball net(you know, the one with the base that you fill up with water or sand) up front and the little bastard drags the hoop across my car and gouges all the way down to metal on the door, fender and hood!! WTF!! I watched the little shit head do it, so I yelled to him and said what the heck, he just shrugs his shoulders and says "oh,, sorry" then turned around and went on draggin the basketball net out front. I flipped out and went side ways on these kids(bad day you should have scratched some ones car that didnt just quit smoking). I said man what were you thinking, are you gonna pay for this, and with the most arrogant and disrespectful reply he just says "no". Well who is then. "I dont know what to tell you man, I said I was sorry"...WTF kids today have zero respect and responsibility for anyone or anything. I was fumin, so I said, well I guess I will just call the cops then(thinking this would bring out some respect or compassion for what they just did. Nope they didnt think I would do it, so screw it, I called the po-po!!

I felt like such a dousche when I called(i called non-emergency) but the copper on the phone was actually pretty cool and agreed that he should send over a squad. So the copper shows up and asked what happened and I told him the story(I was out in the garage doing some re-loading) and I said all I really want you to do is just put a little scare into them. So he did.

On a side note the copper ended up being really cool and we sat and talked about guns for 45 minutes, neat guy to talk to.

Ok, rant over, thanks for listening but man do I want a frickin cigarette...

Hang in there!! 29 years of smoking? Dude I seriously didn't think you were older than 35 or so...... Started at 6, I guess....

Congrats, stick with it!


I smoked for 7 years. I quit when I got strep throat and could no longer smoke. Then when I was at my weakest, my roomie was smoking, I was 3 seconds away from bumming a cigarette when he said he was proud of me for quitting.


10 years later there are still moments of craving, but they are weak and pass quickly.
