Hi Paul, I quit dec 31 2000. Haven't had a puff since. I tell you, sometimes it's really difficult. One of my partners still smokes, and he sneaks out for a cigarette sometimes. That lovely smell comes wafting into the office, and I think "Damn, I wish I still smoked".
Then again, I came home the other day and a friend who smokes was round. Walk up the stairs into my flat, and as soon as I open the front door, I'm hit with the smell.....yuck....and I think "Damn, I'm pleased I don't smoke, that smells really disgusting!!" I used no nicotine aids, as I'm convinced that the main hurdle is the psychological. I won't smoke now, cos I figure the last 9 months will have been for nothing if I just start again. Also, I save so much money. 20 a day at �4.50 per pack, that's �31.50 a week, or �1638 per year!!! That's a lot of money!! A skiing holiday a year!! So, stick with it. Decide you are going to give up, and don't consider failure as an option. Good luck Will -----Original Message----- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 September 2001 18:43 To: CF-Community Subject: keep on quitting smoking this thoroughly sucks. i have been smoking since i was 11. since i returned from the honey moon i am determined to quite. but it does not seem to be taking. have quite about 4 times in the last week! can make it 2 + days. been trying the gum, nicoderm & combinations of both. then just when i think i am getting some where, a manager will say something so grrrrrr......... that i find the closest cig & regretfully smoke it. now it finally tastes & smells bad again. i am determined to kick, but am starting to get frustrated at quitting quitting? any one here do it? with or with out nicotine aids? -paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
