Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit
 

9 days and counting, will Allan be able to kick the habit this time?

My vote goes towards yes, but there will be at least one temporary breakdown along the way.

I've been smoking 11 years as of Jan 21st 2005. My Lung Feels Great. And tomorrow it will be 10 days and counting.

I'm not placing any bets, but good luck!!

I feel like he's going to do pretty well this time. But I thought that last time and he did good up until 3 months. It helps that some of the other smokers are quitting (Nash, Mark??), so maybe together they can help each other. :)

I know some people that smoked for 30+ years, that quit... even with people around them that smoked still.

It takes work, and its a hard task...... it will test you very much. are you up to the task or will you fail?!?!?

I've personally never smoked. My dad smoked for about 20 years. He smoked Swisher Sweets cigars. He tried quiting several times along the way but one day he just became firm about it and quit cold. Never smoked a day after that. Didn't use anything like the patch, etc.. He did suck on alot of candies and sweets. He cannot not absolutely stand being around smoke now. I never smoked but i'm the same way. I can't stand being around 2nd hand smoke thus the reason i don't go in bars. I hate smelling like a stinkin' ash tray. Your lungs will appreciate you for not smoking anymore and so will the non smokers. :)

Re: Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit

Re: Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit
 

I'm in double digits now! Not cranky yet, so far so good.

The test will be if I can hold out while drinking and playing cards this weekend.

Re: Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit
 

That's an improvement! I think it took you about 5 days to turn into a crabby little bitch last time :D Good luck AJ!

Yeah, I think we lost about 5-10 members last time around. LOL

My dad smoked several packs a day. After having a mild heart attack in '95 he quit cold turkey. It's better to stop now and live a longer happier life.

Good luck man!

Re: Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit
 

I need to quit too, I just don't want it bad enough right now. Good luck man, you can do it.

Re: Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit
 

Good luck man, hope you stay with it.

Re: Place your bets, Allan's smoking habit
 

good luck man!!! I you can do it.... just think about how far you have come and don't give in...

It's getting a bit tougher, and I tend to have my hand in the candy jar at work a bit more often.
