******Now on day 18 smoke free.

Not as tough as I thought.
Beer helps tho.. ;)



Stick with it! Your heart will love you for it! B|

As will the olfactory system of all of your friends ;)

You got that right! I've been quit for 17-years after about 30-yrs of those nasty things. My Dad died of a massive heart attack due to 3-packs of Phillip Morris straights a day.

Good for you ;)

I'm closing in on 4 months w/out a puff :)
Never thought I'd ever be a smoker...didn't start till I was 50...who does that ? :S

Coincidently, this was the same time I started skydiving & became a dz staffer :P

I also never thought it would be a problem to quit [:/]

*Quit tip that worked for me: kept a full pack & new lighter in a drawer for 1st 2 weeks.

Every time I felt I HAD to light up, pulled out the pack, realizing if I opened it, I was all done.
So would look at it, put it back in the drawer.
After 2 weeks, got rid of them B|

I've been on and off for a couple years now.

Props to you!!!!



I struggled with being on and off until I switched to vaping.

It isn't better than doing nothing, but it is certainly better than the 2000+ chemicals that make up cigarette smoke.

I quit dipping some years ago. Kept a can of Skoal on the dashboard of the truck. Friends would comment, "Thought you quit?" I did... that's my piss me off can.

Whenever I had an urge; I would look at that can and say, "Who's stronger me or you?"

Even that I had to ask myself the question - pissed me off.

Being pissed off at myself works for me.

One beautiful spring day, riding along with the windows open - out the fucking truck it went.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You ALL !!!! rock. keep it up!!!!B|



Spring 2018 it will be 40 years since I quit cold turkey....
It was very cold.. I was in a snowcave about 17000 feet up on Denali with 4 other people who ran out during that week in the worst storm I had ever seen.

No going out for smokes for any of us... what fun bunch we were too.:ph34r:

To this day I can't stand the stench of a smoker near me.:S

BIGUN: Funny you say that "Who's stronger, me or you ?"

There were a few times I opened that drawer & had a stare down with that unopened pack ;)

I'm now curious: "what was the trigger to quit" ?

Mine: riding Harley 70 mph & had the annoying 'tickle' (didn't have the smoker's cough yet).

I couldn't clear my throat.

You know how hard it is to cough into the wind 70mph ?

Duh, that would be like attempting to cough in free fall -
