Hi John, Thanks ...And good luck to you.
We met at the Hab's Mem party in Middletown..We were both standing outside the door, puffing away.
It's been less than 2 weeks and reasonably good circulation has already returned to my previously frigid, anorexic hands. |

Keep up the good work, and remember that as tough as it is to quit, the payoff in the end will definitely be worth it.
I quit back in '79-'80, but at the time my habit was only a pack a week, so stopping wasn't as difficult, but the addictive nature is strong.
When I was "finally" over it, I felt great. Mind you, at only a pack a week, I had already noticed a drop in my stamina and endurance and was getting winded doing physical activities that I had loved for years.
That was my "wake up call". I hated not being able to do what I loved due to the effect of smoking. (All this in my late teens!)
The best advice I could give would be to keep at it. You may have a "relapse" but hey, you didn't start smoking 2+ packs right from the start, so quitting is never as quick or as easy as it is described.
Good Luck and Good Health to all!

Ummmm...so Mike, how's the Welbutrin working?
I've been giving it some thought lately - I'd really like to grow old enough to be even grumpier than I already am... 
Out side of the health risks, the sheer price alone is enough to give ya pause any more - pretty soon it's gonna be cheaper to just smoke the money... 
I'm doing an honest deuce a day and yeah, I know how bad it is - and the fact that they juice cigarettes with additional nicotine makes it even worse.
I'm smoking Diet Merits but the time is at hand to deep-six 'em altogether, I'm thinking -
Guess I oughta start at Page 1 of the thread and work on my resolve first - |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

The Wellbutrin made me a little looney for awhile and it gave me some crazy dreams.But it was definitely worth it.
