Nick,
you are in a good company,
we are 14 hours out of cigarettes.

(my wife turned into a complete bitch, but...I am staying at least 20 yards away from her
;-))))

:okthumb: Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to do that :(

14 days.. Congrats, that is about the longest I have ever made it.....

Tell LL congrats too (at least when she is approachable...lol)

Sare,
it's been 14 1/2 HOURS,
not days
;-))))

Its been 15 minutes for me and i just gave up :)

Thats one of the longest bouts of quitting ;)

Quitting smoking is easy!!! I've done it thousands of times.

;-)))))

Hey,
I'll survive without ciggies
;-)))

My iron will and few cases of Ironstone 1999 Reserva can do miracles
;-)))

Hours, days, whats the difference.....

So congratulations on 14 and a half hours (does that include sleeping time ?) :yowsa:

Nick, need my address so you can send me all your booze so you're not tempted? I'm here to help :okthumb:

Seriously, I'm glad you're doing this - stick with it and come whining here if you feel like you want to take a drink. We are quite capable of shaming you out of it :)

I've only gone 1 day without booze since I turned 21 :(


Got alot of work to do this season though, gonna limit it to weekends starting tomorrow.


good luck :ph34r:

Nick, you've made your first fatal mistake already!!!

'yeah, trying it again'

you are either giving it up or your not ... saying you are 'trying' is setting yourself up for failure & giving you an excuse before you even begin!!

what if you went to the doctor tomorrow and he told you every drink you have from now on will take a day off your life & 1 less day to spend with your kids? would you try to give up, or just ... give up without thinking?!

I gave up many things without thinking about it, not even sure how I did it, I just did & I kept off them because I feel better for it ... but with cigarettes I keep saying 'i want to quit smoking 1 day' and still, in my mind, I'm a smoker and I don't really want to quit yet ... and smoking is probably the worst thing for health overall, and yet I still light up 5 - 10 times per day ... because I just want to!

If its any help, when you are not drinking your real personality comes through & your personal strengths etc - last time you stopped drinking I remember thinking several times 'fuck he's brilliant when his mind is clear' ...

Good luck :okthumb:

7 days not smoking today for me...I'm not giving up drinking tho, cos a girl needs at least one vice.

If i'm not smoking...and i'm not having sex...alcohol will have to be it. ;)

Good for you tho Nick, hope you can keep it going!

The Irish through, their creativity and inventiveness ruled the world.

........ and then they invented Whiskey.


;-)))

:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

now they are the entertainment at the party, instead of the organiser LOL

not that there's anything wrong with that, the world needs laughter too :rolleyes:

but seriously, 30 days i nothing and you'll do it easy. :okthumb:

WE WANT INNSKILLIN!!!

Good Luck Nick.... you seem like a strong individual, I am sure you can defeat the urges!!! :okthumb:

An Irishman without liquor is like a Jew without money. Unthinkable. And pretty much impossible. :)

Quiter.

Wouldn't be a bad time to quit smoking, how much worse can it get?

KK,
quitting smoking for men has a side effect:
increased libido.
So far, and I am out of ciggies for 41 hours,
I haven't gained a single pound
;-)))

I quit about 2 months ago (again) so far, only 4 pounds....

I still want a cigatette once in awhile, but they taste so awful - don't know what I ever saw in them:-)
