As the old saying....."quitting smoking is easy, I've done it a thousand times." Not this time....I am determined. I'm mad and tired of it...once and for all I will beat the terrible grasp of this bad habit.
Good Luck to us....
A few things I found helped me in the past (well, it didn't help me stop obviously but it did help me mentally).
I did NOT tell my mother, brother, father, my wife, or friends that I knew would badger me that I was trying to quit....I let them figure it out. Once they did, I told them to NOT ask me "how I was doing." I made the mistake before and would get phone calls 3 or 4 times a day asking me how I was doing with the attempt. I cannot repeat my response here....you can assume. They all would say the typical things (that as a smoker we already know)...think how much $$ you'll save, think about how much better you'll feel and smell. Trust me...all smoker know this.....none will deny these facts. Its a matter of doing it.

Mugz, all the best. I'm in the same boat. Sick of being a slave to poison and I'm sick of spending money on poison. Good luck man. Going to be a struggle for me as well...

Same here..day 2 for me and no one has been killed or beaten which is nice. $300.00 a month to slowly kill myself, after 25 years I've had it. Hopefully it sticks this time.

good for you Andy

maybe keep the safety on just in case

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Good luck! I have been mostly off for a while now and just break down on some fishing or going postal situations!
