Thanks so much for all the support guys, its good to know I have the support and glad to hear others are going through this at the same time, cfortune we are both on the same time frame with quitting yesterday but I smoked a pack+ a day for almost 29 years. I dont smoke in the house I would always go outside, and I dont drink at all anymore(quit that over 10 years ago cold turkey too, some people thought I had a "problem" so I needed to stop that) so I dont have to worry about being at a bar and having a craving at least.

Good idea with the home owners insurance, I may have to try that. This was my Audi too, and I just spent 4 hours yesterday waxing it and it was lookin so purdy. Little shit head kids...!

Yeah, you've been smoking since before I was born lol. Best of luck to you. I did however smoke in the house and my roommate still smokes. I'm going to tell him tomorrow to start smoking outside though. I've spent the last two days packed up in my room avoiding the cravings.

I had the good idea to quit in Iraq. Nothing better to do I figured. Haven't had a cig in 2 1/2 years. If you need help try the Patch. I "quit" twice before with the nicotine gum but went back. The patch worked the best, but still needed some chewing gum for the first few weeks. Good luck, hope you meet your goal.

All you guys quiting smoking, should have a get together to hand out food to the homeless. A bunch of grumpy conservatives crammed together with drugged out, drunk homeless people? That is an event I want to be at!

holy shit you crack me up some times. 2 40's also helps!

There isnt a day that goes by I dont think about picking it up again but I don't.
I cant go through all of that again.
I cannot undo all of the time and good I have done for myself.
I cannot do that to my son.


My Motivation.

I hope I can stay that strong for my daughter. It's hard as hell to stay quit. You just keep thinking...I'll just have one, that will be cool....DAMN IT!!

Since you already have a police report, just knock on the neighbor's door and tell them to file a claim on their home owners insurance. When they don't, file a claim under your auto insurance, and once the car is completed, they'll bill your neighbors for the damages. The neighbors will either have to pay or call their insurance company to cover it for them. Then they're home owners insurance will get non-renewed and they'll have to find other insurance and will pay more for it.

It took me 4 years before I quit the craving. After all that time I bought a pack, smoked one and got the worst headache ever. Threw the rest away and never smoked again. I used to work in an alcohol treatment center and those that talked about it said that quitting heroin is easier than nicotine. It is one of the most addictive substances there is. Good luck man.

Good luck to ya man--stick with it.
I've been smoking for 45 years now--I'm thinkin' of trying to quit again but I just really like to smoke.
I've tried quitting a few times in the past but the longest I ever lasted was about a week. After a few days I always felt that I went this long so one cigarette won't hurt--it does--next thing you know it's up to a pack + a day.
I have tried those patches but they're really tough to keep lit
