ah but Anthony quit smoking..lol
I thought he quit quitting???
Either way, he was a smoker most of his life as he made his career. His career was made while smoking, and I'll trust him on that.
ah but Anthony quit smoking..lol
Be still, my heart! I would love to sneak a smoke with him!!!I have a friend who would never have met Anthony Bourdain if they both didn't smoke - she went to one of his book-signings, sneaked outside to have a cigarette, and there he was!
I'm sorry to hear about your dad's horrible death, SS! It must have been awful for you!no smoking for me...asmtha
but I used to chew "kodiak". I decided to quit cold turkey Jan. 04'
I hear the term "stress reducer" alot...it's all in how much you really want to quit, period. Having cancer will put you under alot of stress, you gonna keep smoking, etc.?
Until the pain of changing is less than the pain of staying the same most people will do nothing.
Oh ya, I quit in jan.04' , I got a tattoo in march 04' as me own "reminder" that I quit. 2 weeks later I watched EMTs' pick my fathers body up and put it in a bag after he was crushed by a tree. Over the course of the next 12 months my family dissolved. I'm the last in my line with my last name.
I made a decision to quit, and I've stuck with it, it's great not having that monkey on my back

First, sorry to hear about your father. Second, congrats on quitting. As for the part above, I completely agree. I had no inclination to do it until the pain of continuing was actually more than quitting.
For me... I have the beginings of COPD, and with the triple bi-pass last year, well ever since then smoking causes me chest pain so it is less painful to not smoke now...
Damn Evil Monkey on yer back is what smoking is... I think I saw an Avatar like that somewhere around here...
You had a triple bypass??? No kidding? Crap, sorry to hear that. How's it going since that?
Yup, still going! LOL!
There have been some complications that may have arisen, won't know for sure until I can see the Doc... still waiting on the mess with my health insurance to sort out so I can get this all taken care of... ugg.
Well hang in there! You can do it! My thoughts are with you! But you know......you might want to lay off the dog biscuits now!
After several failed attempts, I finally used depressants to quit smoking. I was on Welbutrin (sp?) for 3-4 months, quit smoking, then dumped the pills. I hated how I felt on the antidepressants, but they made me not want to smoke, so it was worth it in the long run. I hope things work out for you. Good Luck.Gosh, I just broke 2 year of no smoking. I've been going some crap 9can I use that word here?) at home and work and going on some anti depressents is just not an option for me. 2-5 cigarets a day so far, hope not going to go for more than that and will try to quite some how again. i hate that stuff, but it makes me relax enough so I don't have to do anything real bad.
I have heard about this medication. It's called Zyban when it is prescribed for quitting smoking. I have seriously wanted to try it. I even got a script for it once, but then lost my insurance. I'm glad to hear it worked for you, vyapti.After several failed attempts, I finally used depressants to quit smoking. I was on Welbutrin (sp?) for 3-4 months, quit smoking, then dumped the pills.
