1 Year No Smokes

[mcolford]

Today is the 1 year anniversary since I put down the coffin nails.... Thats all. Hardest thing I've ever done, thats for sure!

 

[bobbittle]

Congrats! Don't give in to temptation and start up again like I did.

Like wise

 

[Dr.Midnight]

That is fantastic. I'm going to give it a shot on January 1. Hopefully, I can show the same amount of determination and will power you have shown.

Keep going

Great job, keep it up. Besides the most important factor, your health, think of all the money you are saving and can put towards other intrests you may have

CONGRATS! No only better for your health, but gives you more cash for hobbies.

[mcolford]

Thanks guys! I figure I have saved right around $1800.... Thats a lot of money. I also quit drinking then too (didnt drink very often at all, but still)... So tack that money on... Weird part is, I'm still broke. But my wife has found more money for more shoes.

Quitter

 

[loudpedal]

Congratulations.
Not only is that good for you, but also for those who love you, and for those who are and will be inspired by your success.

Oh and for retailers who sell shoes.

Congrats! I quit cold turkey about 8 years ago and REALLY wish I could get the wife too but it looks doubtful.

One day at a time time Bro. My biggest help was that I am very competitive (especially with myself)... I have to one up myself at everything (running, building, whatever).. I also started running right after I quit. I knew I could get 8 months, no problem (I had done it before)... But we found out in January that we were pregnant, so that was more drive to stay smoke free. That and my daughter nagging me nonstop whenever I went out to the garage to smoke.

Now I dread going to my inlaws as they smoke, and I smell like it when I leave. Heck, when I cleaned his guns a while back I could smell smoke on them, LOL! Hoppes took care of that though.


Honestly, just get someone to ride your ass, set your mind to it, and dont accept failure. Oh and Wellbutrin helps to control the moods..

 

[CBR1000rr]

Congratulation! I'm nearly 60 days in myself. Never felt better!

 

[voodoo304]

Congrats! This Sunday will be one month for me. Hopefully I can hang in there like you. You are great motivation!

 

[427TriPowered]

good for you mcolford...

when it smells good... and your recollection is it tastes good... dont do it... not even if its gonna be one and done... it will taste like an ashtray... then you start chasing the pleasure you once knew... then you are addicted all over again...

Congrats.

I quit but later started dipping and chewing bad. That was really hard to quit for me.

Congratulations to all who have kicked this nasty habit. Would any one of you care to share your secrets or suggestions as to how you put them down?

Chantix has a very high success rate.
