I have stopped SMOKING!

“That first month is a b!tch. Almost killed a few times. But then its easier, and easier. The only time I get a (small) urge is after a drink or two - stay away from alcohol for a while if you can.

4 years w/o a smoke, as of next month. I'm pulling for ya!”

“well that was fun.
he so deserved to get yell at.”

“everyone is being understanding about my mood. but of course there has to be that one moron that asks like a child.
not that I am mind you :)”

“all joking aside, this is getting harder.
it was easier last time because it was after 9/11 and i was sick from being near ground zero”

“Don't do it! Don't, don't, don't.”

“Is it time for the rotten lung pictures?”

“I watched my mother die from EMPHYSEMA

not a pretty sight :(”

“Money in your pocket: $549.00/year
Days added to your life: 13 days, 23 hours/year”

“smoking what?”

“You've been Quit 610 days. $2,104.50 and 4 months, 19 days, 22 hours of your life saved!

See all the gear I can buy with $2,000...and hey... I need only 2 more month and I could hike the AT without getting #&%!$ed at. Hubby can't say a thing...because if I still would be smoking I would be dead much earlier. LOL

SEE!!!!! Better stop that crap!!!”

“Antidepressants can knock your sex drive into the negative numbers.

You save no money by quitting - it is disposable income, you will dispose of it another way.....perhaps on food? This is why people "explode" after they quit. That, and they need something to "do" while not smoking.

I've quit before. Twice for 2-3 years. Pathetic, eh? I think I was born to smoke. I was smoking 1 pack/day within a month of starting. I can pick out my brand in a bar of smokers during my times of abstinence.

I wish the crap was outlawed.

Anyway, Good Luck Mapes!”

“A herd of Camels standing over a light bulb? Must be a harsh smoke, all that camel hair, glass, and carbon filament...”

“Hey, don't knock the carbon filament 'til you're tried it...”

“Yeah, you would think it wouldn't be tough to give up, eh?”

“But look at all the camel toes in that shot!”

“I do love a nice camel toe. Makes me hot...........smokin hot.”

“I guess that would be a soft pack pictured above?”

“9 out 10 men who tried camels prefer women.”

“soft pack sucks!

BTW anyone ever seen a camel toe cup? LOL! Just popped up while I was googling images.”

“Camels never want to watch Lifetime.”

“naviguesser was the 1 out of 10.

“Hey Maple, did you make it through yesterday?”

“MAPLEEEEE!!!!!! How is everything?? Did ya do it??”

“YES YES YES I DID


but at this moment i hate people :(
have they always been this stupid?
or is it the need for a smoke?”

“Way Ta Go, Kiddo!


May The Force Be With You


(as well as 7 packs of full strength Nicorette, 3 weeks worth of Welbutrin, 144 pieces of sugarfree gum, and whatever it takes to get you through the night, <LOL>)


I've been off the bastages for 4 1/2 years now, and I feel GREAT. You'll be SO GLAD YOU DID. Nowadays I view cigarette companies now the same way I do the Mafia: they kill people for money.

-- Don't You Be One Of Them --



(and we'll be praying for Treebeard, too.... something tells me he's going to need it, <VBG>)”

“Remember that you have control over your decisions. It's up to you whether or not you smoke.

Each time you want a cigarette, ask yourself a question.... what do you love more, your family and yourself, or the cigarettes?

BTW: It's my 20 month aniversary today!!!!

People have always been that stupid, but you were too hopped up on nicotine to notice.”

“thats what I thought.

this is sad.”

“I've gotten down to ten a day but even that hurts. I was supposed to go without the last time I went to Nashville but only made it a little less than 36 hours without one. Gonna try to go without next time I go to Nashville, but the harder I try to quit the less I think I'll ever be able to.”

“i tried to cut down, but the thing is. I am not that big of a smoker. unless I am drinking then all bets are off LOL
one pack will last me three to four days.
so i am going cold turkey!”

“Bison - I kept trying that. I would cut down one cig every other day and would usually go from a pack a day to a few a day within a month. Then something would trigger and bam, back to a pack a day after just one day. Tried this several times.

Finally did a combo - cut down like above for several weeks, then went cold turkey. That finally worked.”

“is smoking even fun? i mean, if you're going to get addicted to something that will kill you, i can think of things that seem a lot better than nicotine.”

“Heroin?”

“sex?”

“i wouldn't know. i'm just saying, i don't get how smoking is worth it! it doesn't seem like people who smoke get any huge rush or are having any great time. are they?”

“Rollercoaster rides?”

“sex?”

“no thanks Maple! perv.”

“oh you wish I was asking you!”

“Welbutrin! Welbutrin! Welbutrin!




It WORKS!

76 days.”

“Welbutrin made me crazy as a #&%!$house rat for a couple of weeks, but it worked!”
