The SoCal smokeout! August 1st

no not that! :eyes:

I've been toying with the idea of quitting smoking for good for a few months and with Jim's recent thread (congrats Jim!) i have decided its time to stop putting it off and quit already. August 1st seems like a good starting point so thats what im doing.

So, who's with me? we can do this!

:cheers:

Dude, I quit a week ago. Cold turkey. You can do it. Stop putting it off and just stop already.

If you get started now you might be able to catch me.

dammit Grimm, I thought you ment another kind of SMOKE OUT lol

TheWarWagon · Jul 28, 2008

Just get yourself a can of chaw and call it good bud. That's how I quit smoking.

I quit in 2001. Its one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Quit drinking (temporarily) at the same time. When you think you just cant hack it anymore, have a beer. It will distract your cravings enough to get you through the first two weeks.

You make it one month, and we'll do a pub night (dinner and drinks) on me.

I second that grim, you go a month and I will be there too. We just need to go to hooters for the beer...

Do it dude.

I've quit a few times using some of the methods out there... gum, inhalers, etc. But for me, quitting cold turkey was the best, and I'm now going on 3 years. I think the first 10 days are the most difficult. It will also be easier if you have a mindset that those cancer sticks are freaking disgusting. Also think of the negative affect on your kids if you have the craving. You can do it brother. Good luck.

Skwerly quit the end of May sometime. He'll have one with a few beers occasionally but he's been awesome. The way he did it was cold turkey but he made it a challenge, him against the smokes, who was the bigger man? He won. I quit for a month or 2 and now I'm back to 2 or 3 a day, which becomes 5 or 6 and so on. I just need to stop it. I'm with you Grimm.

:rattle:

thats kind of my main drive, i want to be around long enough to kick thier asses if i catch them smoking

my 15 month old pointed at my pack of smokes the other day and said "daddy", i said "yea those are daddy's cigarettes" and she said "NO!" really loud and looked mad and ran away. so im thinking she's got my back for quitting haha.

paulhead · Jul 28, 2008

So I open this thread thinking "Carne asada on a friday?" But then the Grimm truth, I need to quit too. I was good for like 6 years, then started drinking again and it was over. Now I'm on and off again all the time, I need to quit. But can we wait til' next, next friday? :wow: .
JK. I'll let you know bro, I may be in with you.
