That will be a true test, if I can consume adult beverages and not smoke, I've got it dicked. I can drink coffee just fine without a cigarette. So I'm thinking it just mind over matter.

I have made it to Friday!! Wahoooooo... The novelty of quiting has worn off and fast. Now it's become a real fight with myself sometimes to keep the faith. Had some tests at work this week too. Some situations that make you just run outside scream at the world and smoke 4 just to get back to your happy place. Will power has overcome those situations just barely.. Drinnking coffee now doesn't trigger the urge to smoke. Had a beer lastnight with dinner and it wasn't to hard until I got down to the bottom. I decided not to order another because I had a feeling it would just be more internal fighting with myself I wasn't looking forward to that. Not smoking doesn't bother me at all. I really don't miss the smoke. The hardest part for me now is the internal battle with myself to not smoke. It's kind of weird though once I've beaten the urge to just give up and give in and light one up I feel refreshed and stronger. Gives me new hope that I can beat this addiction. I discovered smell again I never really knew what I smelled like when I was smoking... Man I stunk, I feel sorry for you non-smokers who hung around me sometimes. I have a co-worker who got to my office door and I could smell the smoke on him. I never knew it was really that powerful. I am not looking forward to the weekend, well I am but I'm not. Fridays are my normal "happy hour" nights, while Sat & Sun are filled with errands and stuff. Going to try and consume some adult beverages this weekend. Was suggested I stick with a mixed drink like Beam & Coke or some others, that beer was a serious trigger for a smoke. This advice was given by anthor ex-smoker in the office. I think I can do it. [RANT] Damn I disspise the tobaco industry!! What they've done to the youth. I was 17 when I started... They all knew how addictive nicotene (sp) is and they ADDED Chemicals to make them even more addictive! Fuckers! Oh well I got them beat! They and the Goverment will never get another dime out of me for tobaco! I feel so stupid now.. I will never be one of those "holier then thou" non smokers and complain your killing me everytime you light up. Smoker need and deserve some rights. The fucking goverment is taxing them to the poor house. Just because they're addicted to a product the goverment itself KNEW since the mid 50's was extremely addictive and a health hazard. Now they're taking away the ability to light up when they need to. I say need, because when you're addicted you NEED to light up. It is a physical addiction your body craves the chemicals in the cigarettes. You non-smokers who've never smoked have NO IDEA how hard it is to quit. It's not like we can just put them down and quit one day. (I know some will argue "well I did") bah to you.. Whatever, the normal smoker isn't that talented in the ways of the force [RANT OFF] I just have one suggestion to those out there who are smoking and have thought about quiting. The one thing that helped me the most this time was setting a Date and sticking to it. My biggest problem with quiting before was telling myself once I finish this project I'll quit... ok well once I get through this rough spot with my life I'll quit, it'll be easier then without the stress. I set my date Jan 1st that I was going to quit April 4th. That was my date and man the closer it came the more aggitated I became. It helped alot to know that, that day I was never going to lite another. ok I've rambled.. Thank you all for the support and the PMs. I don't think you know it's really helped to have the support of others. ...oh shit here comes an urge!! "Luke I am your father!"

I bet I'm not the only one who had to stop talking to someone because their breath reeked of smoke! Have you been able to taste food again?

I guess I'm not going to have to hunt you down and kick your ass after all .

The only reason I would consider giving up my beer is medical. I'm a responsible drinker, I have designated drivers when I go out. I don't drink and drive ever. I also don't get so wasted I forget things I've said or done the night before... ok well there was that one time... I'll admit to 2 times.. ok 3.. demmit it's happened a few times but I was in college "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I never really handled it well. Those folks who are responsible with booze, I can respect.

Anxiety got the best of me. Kinda keeping this as a log of the trials of quiting after 21 years. My will power is staying strong. Still haven't tested this theroy while drinking a beer... That will be a true test, if I can consume adult beverages and not smoke, I've got it dicked. I can drink coffee just fine without a cigarette. So I'm thinking it just mind over matter. Hey how about a xanax and some beer? But the dire question is - have you had SEX since you stopped.HmmmmI'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Slappie 9 #47 April 8, 2005 I don't care if you care or not I'm updating my post. I have made it to Friday!! Wahoooooo... The novelty of quiting has worn off and fast. Now it's become a real fight with myself sometimes to keep the faith. Had some tests at work this week too. Some situations that make you just run outside scream at the world and smoke 4 just to get back to your happy place. Will power has overcome those situations just barely.. Drinnking coffee now doesn't trigger the urge to smoke. Had a beer lastnight with dinner and it wasn't to hard until I got down to the bottom. I decided not to order another because I had a feeling it would just be more internal fighting with myself I wasn't looking forward to that. Not smoking doesn't bother me at all. I really don't miss the smoke. The hardest part for me now is the internal battle with myself to not smoke. It's kind of weird though once I've beaten the urge to just give up and give in and light one up I feel refreshed and stronger. Gives me new hope that I can beat this addiction. I discovered smell again I never really knew what I smelled like when I was smoking... Man I stunk, I feel sorry for you non-smokers who hung around me sometimes. I have a co-worker who got to my office door and I could smell the smoke on him. I never knew it was really that powerful. I am not looking forward to the weekend, well I am but I'm not. Fridays are my normal "happy hour" nights, while Sat & Sun are filled with errands and stuff. Going to try and consume some adult beverages this weekend. Was suggested I stick with a mixed drink like Beam & Coke or some others, that beer was a serious trigger for a smoke. This advice was given by anthor ex-smoker in the office. I think I can do it. [RANT] Damn I disspise the tobaco industry!! What they've done to the youth. I was 17 when I started... They all knew how addictive nicotene (sp) is and they ADDED Chemicals to make them even more addictive! Fuckers! Oh well I got them beat! They and the Goverment will never get another dime out of me for tobaco! I feel so stupid now.. I will never be one of those "holier then thou" non smokers and complain your killing me everytime you light up. Smoker need and deserve some rights. The fucking goverment is taxing them to the poor house. Just because they're addicted to a product the goverment itself KNEW since the mid 50's was extremely addictive and a health hazard. Now they're taking away the ability to light up when they need to. I say need, because when you're addicted you NEED to light up. It is a physical addiction your body craves the chemicals in the cigarettes. You non-smokers who've never smoked have NO IDEA how hard it is to quit. It's not like we can just put them down and quit one day. (I know some will argue "well I did") bah to you.. Whatever, the normal smoker isn't that talented in the ways of the force [RANT OFF] I just have one suggestion to those out there who are smoking and have thought about quiting. The one thing that helped me the most this time was setting a Date and sticking to it. My biggest problem with quiting before was telling myself once I finish this project I'll quit... ok well once I get through this rough spot with my life I'll quit, it'll be easier then without the stress. I set my date Jan 1st that I was going to quit April 4th. That was my date and man the closer it came the more aggitated I became. It helped alot to know that, that day I was never going to lite another. ok I've rambled.. Thank you all for the support and the PMs. I don't think you know it's really helped to have the support of others. ...oh shit here comes an urge!! "Luke I am your father!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I bet I'm not the only one who had to stop talking to someone because their breath reeked of smoke! Have you been able to taste food again? There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wmw999 2,589 #49 April 8, 2005 That's awesome, Slappie. I guess I'm not going to have to hunt you down and kick your ass after all . You oughta have an all-quitters pub night; go to a restaurant with no smoking section, and just walk in and enjoy yourselves. You deserve it. And yes, smokers definitely have an "aroma."

I've been eating things that I always eat and they don't taste any different. People said things would taste differently. They haven't.
