Trying to be smoke free!

[Swinger]

Ha ha, thats funny Bill. Thats one addiction that costs me a pretty penny and doesnt hurt my health, unless the wife finds out about the parts I have hidden...He he he!!!!

Hows everyone doing out there! Anyone slip yet??? Im to the point where Im feeling pretty good and think its just in my head. Still is a little rough at times when I get stressed out but I take a breath and try to chillaxx a bit! I was gonna try some of those snus pouches for when I get done eating to kill the urge for a smoke but stayed away from it and been hanging on so far. My whole body is still soar from jogging the other day, man am I outta shape!

Fabio, this is the e-cig I use. https://www.zeecigs.com/default.ht I started doing some research on e-cigs in Jan. I started smoking when I was 15, I'm 48 now. It was time to quit. A guy at work came in with one of these so I went with this brand. I use this brand of " juice " . http://www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.co...uct/J001/juice . you can get diff flavors and strengths. Made in the USA. I smoked, smoke 2 packs a day and this helped for me. I used this for 2 weeks and didn't have one cig. Breathing was alot better along with taste. The setback came when my mother had a stroke. I was on my way to the hospital and my e-cig ran out. Didn't have extras with me so I stopped for a pack. Stress, makes or breaks ya. It broke me . Fast forward to now. Mom is doing great, not 100% but close to it. Me, still smoking, But, I did order somemore " juice " the other day. Time to give it another try. to all you guys " chillax'n " , good for you. I don't know when I'm gonna do it but it's in my head pretty strong so it's gonna be soon. Keep the faith.

Its good to hear that your mom is doing better. I know what you mean about the stress making or breaking you. Its so easy to go back to what was always there before to comfort you! Gotta find something to temporarily replace it.

I slipped, just got way to stressed out. I guess it's just not my time to quit, I am going to try again because I really do want to quit. I need another way to deal with cravings cuz gum just was not doing it.

If at first you dont succeed- cheat and get a patch, ha ha!! Thats ok man, dont go hog wild and build your nicotine level up just try some type of aide or something. I got faith in you man!!!!

Last night was my test! Went to the wifes familys x-mas party and everyone was drinking and smoking and having a good time while I sweated it out! Im a recovering alcoholic so this is very hard for me in the first place then nicotine to top it off. The gum just wasnt doing it anymore as I would imagine what I looked like with 3 pieces of gum in and chewing it like a cow on speed. My jaw is soar as hell! My wifes uncle says here put a chew in! I have chewed since I was 12 and this is actually harder for me to give up than the cigarettes. I held off but wanted something so bad then my brother in laws shows up to my rescue. He had fake snuff- nicotine free- all herbal! I still get the craving but it was just a quick comfort and helped me fight the demons. Another BIG milestone cleared- public peer pressure! Where is the rest of my nicotine free friends at with some words of encouragement????

I remember when I quit....8 yrs ago. I chewed copenhagen for 20 plus years...skoal, redman....you name it. I started smoking to try and quit snuff?? Real smart...then found myself doing both...lol I ran out of snuff one day and made my mind up and never looked back. It was easier for me than the cig battle. Took me 4-5 times to do it. I was a hermit at home for 2 months......never even went out to the garage or had beers. I knew it would up the odds of smoking again. Man after I quit......I noticed the beer intake increased to make up for the idle cig. time I usually had. It all eventually worked out. It was not easy.....I still like the cig smoke smell but never really feel the need anymore?? If you want to quit you can.......it may just not be that time deep down somewhere in your mind ya know?? Good luck fellas......rough battle. I took the cold turkey route on both and made it......not to say I was not an assh%$# along the way.lol I guess the habit is more than just the cig. I tried to break the whole ritual I guess....comin home, crackin a beer and fireing up a cig and workin in the shop. You gotta break some other habits as well along the way to help. Beer was one of them for me. Beer tastes way better now.
