thethinker 0 #3 July 18, 2003 Why don't u try twizzlers? Or look @ it as a mind over matter situation, when you think about it...think of how bad it makes you smell...or since your a girl...all the wrinkles...no guy likes wrinkles!!!!!

freeflir29 0 #8 July 18, 2003 QuoteIt's almost the same toxicity as cigarettes. And it will certainly make you smell just as bad if not worse. I once had a roomate in the Air Force that worked in the "Fuel Barn" doing maintenance on aircraft fuel systems. Smelled up everything I owned....

mfrese 0 #11 July 18, 2003 Keep taking deep breaths all the way to altitude, and think about how much better your mind is working than your friends without all that CO competing with the O2! Say strong no matter what...I smoked for 20 years, quit 4 years ago, and can't believe I was ever stupid enough to do it.

jtval 0 #14 July 18, 2003 Quotehehe. I think I would look as hot with a toothpick in my mouth as I would with a cigarette. but if it works.... heres where i can burst your bubble! LOL I know you were joking but im prety sure you didnt look sexy while you were smoking! I use dto smoke lilke a chimney and I quit 3 years ago. heres my advice, this way wont put pounds on ya and itll help you get over it you cannot easily break a habit, but REPLACING it with other habits is easy! you have already made a conscious decision to get healthy (if you see it that way or not) so everytime you feel the need to smoke go grab a drink of water!(it will help you clean out your system anyway) when you cant do that do push ups and or sit ups! Yes, in front of people if you must! dont gimme tany of that "how weird would that be, to start doing situps infront of all my friends?" stuff thats just the peer pressure talking! its easier to sit there and give in to your urge but if you do that then why did you bother trying in the first place? if youre att he DZ and you start doing sit ps and your friends bust your chops. just look at their teeth! that nasty yellow crud on them is what they get for being smokin. Start joggin/walking -you willl fell like youre having an anxiety attack at times. it probably is(Im not a DR.) but youll feel your heart racing and your nerves will fry out when you are having a craving! RUN IT OUT! its basically the same effect ADRENELINE has. use it to YOUR advantage. Yes, even if it means running at 230 am! if youre serious you will find the will power to quit. if youre not then I am probably wasting my time typing this! Here'a a hint-- the more you execrcise the more you will WANT TO. you will eventually be addicted to THAT rush you will find your PSYCHIE(SP?) is better and you will have much more energy duirng your awake hours! it will be worth it TRUST ME. I used to smoke 3 packs of marlboro reds per day! Good luckMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
