The one good thing I got going for me is that before the first time I quit , cigarettes were my friend. After quitting for ten months and back on them, I don't like them as I did before.
from your mouth to god's ears my friend, good luck!
I disagree, LTD. You don't have to be addicted to cigs, to know they are bad and to be able to see how hard it is for a smoker to quit. Smokers do stink, like it of not. They smell like cigarette, no matter how much perfume/cologne they use. I'm not saying this to be offensive, just letting you know how it smells, from this side of the room. While I'm at it, stop flicking those damned cig butts everywhere. Put em out and throw them into the proper receptacle!Spoken like someone who has never been addicted.
I have smoked for 30 years - and hate that I do. I have tried Chantix, gum, cold turkey. I applaud anyone who has been able to quit - I guess I can't.
The withdrawals are unbearable to me.
Same here. I'm astounded at the amount of UPS'ers that smoke, because there aren't that many smokers in my center. God bless those of you that are trying to quit. May you find the avenue you're looking for.You would think insurance would cover all of it. Think of the money it must save them down the road!
I have never smoked (cigarettes), but I'm there for you with moral support and good wishes.
Good Luck!
Till you stop smoking, or living? Good Luck, Brother!I'm pretty close to quitting...My heart cant take it anymore....Anytime I light up my heart seems to beat faster.....So I've got 2 or 3 more packs and im done
Hang out with? That's 9/5, on the right!did u hang out with these guys in the 70s?
Please tell me how you got it covered! I looked on Medco, but it tells me that it is not covered. I even called about 6 months ago and they told me no.

Thats why I say it is a terrible terrible addiction. My husband had coronary bypass. He still fights it every day. He has went from going days without to a stressful day, and then its 10. His Mom and Dad, my Mom died of lung cancer, and it never leaves his mind but he fights it daily. I dont think he ever will give them up permanently. Of course it is not the only cause of heart conditions, but it sure does not help them. 1/3 luck, 1/3 heredity, 1/3 lifestyle, and there is only one of those you can change.The year was 1956, I had just turned 16, got my drivers license, purchased my 1st car (1950 chevy), and bought my 1st pack of cigaretts. I had smoked a cig or 2 before, but I was now an adult (16) and ready to be a man. I had my car, my girl, and my cigs.
I had smoked my entire "adult" life, growing to a two pack a day smoker. In 2001 I had a heart attack and required two stents inserted in my artery. Did that stop me smoking? The answer is NO, I enjoyed smoking too much to let a little heart attack deprive me from the pleasure I recieved from smoking. I smoked a cigarette on the way home from intensive care, and continued smoking as though had happened.
Well, on April 17, 2007 I had a second heart attack. This time five (5) stents were inserted in another artery.
That did it. I quit smoking cold turkey and haven't had a cig since April 17, 2007. The fear of death is a great motivator.
I smoked for 51 years and enjoyed everyone of the 560,000 (estimated) cigarettes.
However, I do plan on smoking again. When I turn 73 in 2113 I will start smoking again so I can live out the few remaining years of my life enjoying the pleasure I receive from smoking. At 73 I will not have the fear of death that I had at 67.
I used hypnosis. I haven't smoked in over 3 years and have no issues with cravings and never did. Hypnosis doesn't work for everyone, but for $70 or $80 its worth a try.

Is this a Planet of the Apes reference? Cornelius, is that you?I know this for a fact , everytime I see mechanic for brown's avatar, I feel like lighting one up. It's like looking in a mirror
Reverse Hypnosis?Believe it or not, I bought one of the hypnosis c.d to quit smokng. All the talk about smoking made me take off the headphones and have a cigarette.
