cgross 1 #1 January 11, 2003 I am at work, and will be all weekend! I have not jumped in 104 days, it is 25 degrees F outside, my DZ is closed for the winter, I am Broke, and i am trying to quit smoking... DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE????? THIS SUX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #2 January 11, 2003 What is the problem? The DZ is closed, but you are broke. Imagine how much worse it would be if you were broke and the DZ was open? Concentrate on quitting smoking and put aside the money you would've wasted on getting lung cancer towards jump tickets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #3 January 11, 2003 yeah for real, here's what ya do, start a bank account and put the same amount in every day that you would spend on smoking, see how many jumps you'll get come spring time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgross 1 #4 January 11, 2003 I know it sounds good, but if the DZ were open, I would find the money... sell my body, sell my sisters body, some how I would find the $$$. But yeah... this smoking thing sux. Actually, I have been putting that $$ away for a rig...eventually! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #10 January 11, 2003 go 3 days and you can go 3 weeks, go 3 weeks and you can go 3 months, so on and so on... don't pick them up when u drink, even when u tell ur self it be aight to smoke while drinking cause then ull tell ur self it's ok to finish the pack. then you'll be back to hhmmmm i've got coffee shouldn't i have a smoke, it would be good.. it is not geed it bad. unless u smoke camels. then by a pack and give me one Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

suz 0 #14 January 12, 2003 *suz takes a long draw of her cigarette for cgross* Hope that'll help ya? why dont you take up a winter sport while your DZ is closed, or move to North Queensland, where the only thing that stops you from jumping is rain....which we arent getting much of at the moment?

cgross 1 #16 January 12, 2003 Thanks sweetheart... I will take a cyber drag off that smoke... NOPE that didn't help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgross 1 #17 January 12, 2003 The only thing getting me through the past week was the thought that when I drink, I can smoke.I knew it wasn't true, but my body is telling me to smoke. So, I have been trying to avoid drinking too, this way I won't be in a situation where I will do something stupid. Last time I quit, I started again, because I got drunk at a wedding, and had a few smokes. In my drunken haze of a world, I bought a couple packs... yada yada yada. The rest as they say is "History" I am serious this time, I am done. However, I haven't jumped in over 100 days, and I have a feeling on my "beer" jump of the season, I am really going to want that cigarette to celebrate. May having a cigar would be better... so long as I don't inhale... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgross 1 #18 January 12, 2003 Look, I don't give a fuck about other people... I just want to jump, and I want a smoke really really bad! If i was concerned about other peoples lives, I would be out saving the world or something. That is not my job, i leave that to superman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #19 January 12, 2003 On that beer jump, tell a couple of friends before hand to kick your ass if you decide to light up. Hopefully they'll be nice enough to hand you another beer when you want a cigarette... Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #21 January 13, 2003 Life doesn't suc that much. You've stopped smoking! You know how few people get that right? Hang in there. The weather will improve - ans as you say, when the DZ's open, you'll find the money.We always do! t It's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fudd 0 #22 January 13, 2003 Well, if you can't smoke real cigarettes why not take a virtual smoke break After you've had about 8000 virtual smoke breaks it will be spring again, and that is an encouraging though There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
