Stone Gaijin Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Day 5, a beautiful morning, I'm at work early, and already catching up on work, which isn't fun exactly, but I just feel healthier, so it ain't so bad. Last night, I did for a moment, want a cigarette, but it passed and I just went to bed. It was kinda nice this morning, when my youngest crawled into bed with me, I didn't smell like smoke, and we got to sleep for another hour before we had to get up.

Julius Caro Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have never smoked, and I always encourage my friends who smoke to stop doing so. Anyway, I'm not to tell them what they can or can't do... just friendly advice :p I understand it's difficult to quit smoking.. so keep the good work??

Panacik Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Day 9 - Feeling Fine! Give it two or more days and the sweats will start. You feel kind of dirty, your porse seem to be leaking a yellowy stubstance and you start to feel fat and depressed. Stic with it mate, a weeks time you will feel better than you did the last coupe of days. You will start to feel miuch healthier. You will get thoughts like, 'i wonder what it would be like to have one now after all this time', or, 'well i proved i can give up so i can go back to it now and start smoking again', or, 'i can have one and it will be ok, just have one now and then when i REALY feel like it'. Stick with it and dont listen to your mind saying its "ok" to have one. Also may i recommend going for a jog in a week or twos time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesmithg Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Governments should all encourage their electorate to smoke. It's a great revenue raiser and it keeps the populations down. I however don't agree with smoking in the workplace. The more they try stopping people quit and still allow them for sale in shops, the more people will take it up and puff away like there is no tomorrow.

pacifica Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 you rawk dude! way to go. this march will mark 5 years since i've been a smoker. with a little motivation and encouragement you can kick the habit once and for all. what you should do is calculate what you typically spend on a pack of cigarettes a week and then put that money aside. when you've reached a landmark goal - say, 3 or 6 months - take that money and buy something that you've been wanting for a long time but perhaps you may not have been able to afford it. you'll quickly see just how expensive smoking was. funny thing is: i quit smoking because i could no longer afford to smoke; not because it was bad for me (true as it may be but it was not the deciding motivator).
