adamjenner 0 #52 September 30, 2004 QuoteQuotedon't worry haha after this pack i'm done. I mean it. haha There, I fixed it for you. i always laugh. it's a habit. But seriously, i quit for a month before but started up after my ex broke up with me. so if i did it before i should be able to do it again. the only thing is everyone i know smokes so it'll be hard to fight off the temptation.

Slowfaller 0 #53 September 30, 2004 Major nonsmoking vibes for you Liz. I know how hard it can be and I used the patch. Of course it only lasted for 2 yrs, I never saw skymama for the case she said she'd give me and now I'm a smoker again with a sore throat. Good ol' Camel Wides Filters.

I had tried several times but honestly, I just loved smoking. It was when I was driving somewhere and all of a sudden I could not breathe that changed it for me. I had an asthma attack... I had never had asthma in my life but it was brought on by the smoking. I drove straight to the doctor where they gave me a steroid to take right away and prescribed inhaler. I quit smoking that night and haven't had any asthma symptoms since. so why does smoking suck?? You can't breathe!!

A friend of theirs even smoked cigars, and in the '70s and '80s, that couple would come over and play canasta, and my parents even let him smoke cigars in our house! Talk about annoying -- to be in your own house and not be able to stand it. My parents screwed around with those bullshit plastic disposable filters to try to quit. They also smoked a good amound of pot -- and yes, in the house, in front of us, even in the car when we'd go out to dinner! (It was much much later on that I realized that the smell of pot must have been on our whole family when we would arrive at a restaurant! I'm glad I never realized it then, because I have no idea what I would have done!) Eventually, my mom and dad realized that Mom was wayyy too into pot -- "needing" it morning noon and night. She decided to go to a rehab, in like '86 or so. She was in a really ritzy part of Connecticut (New Canaan) at a place called Silver Hill. Celebrities go there, as I understand it. She met the brother of Bill Paxton there. When she quit pot, Dad quit too (but it was easy for him). He also quit cigarettes COLD TURKEY after having smoked for a few decades! What is funny to me, is that not one of the four kids in my family EVER smoked. BUT, when I was a little kid, like in elementary school, I would pretend to be "cool," by "smoking" a plastic lollipop stick, whenever I got the kind of lollipop that had one (as opposed to the paper sticks that got soggy and gross). I actually found it fun to pretend I was smoking, but then grew up never to smoke! I have no idea how difficult it is to quit smoking; I just know that my mom quit numerous times for varying lengths, and Dad quit just the once and has never smoked in almost 20 years. It's almost impossible for me to picture him smoking, now! Since I know how awful smoking is, and how much I loathe it, and since I have an appreciation for the difficulty of quitting, I always try to be supportive and congratulatory to people who are making or who have made the effort to quit. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
