Calling OBJ

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

Ol' buddy, ol' pal, I think I remember you saying something back in January about quiting them smokes if I did.<br /><br />Well, as you know I quit Jan. 23 and have not looked back.<br /><br />Soooooooo!!!! How about you? <br /><br />Have you quit? <br /><br />I hope so, and anyone else that reads this, I hope will quit also.<br /><br />It's not easy, as I stopped cold turkey, but if I can do it after 34 years, then anyone can.

Re: Calling OBJ

its on the top of my list too. but for me it is the hardest thing i have ever tried to do. i quit 3 years ago for 7 months, gained 47 pounds and started smoking again. so now not only am i still a smoker i am a fat smoker. It is about time i try again and this time not look for excuses to go back. congrats sbn. keep up the good work.

Re: Calling OBJ

muskyone, I know what you are talking about.<br /><br />It is never to late to quit my friend, and you will feel better this time next week if you do.<br /><br />Also hard to do when it's in the house with you.<br /><br />With that said, it is a mind thing more than anything.<br />You have to want to quit. If not, nothing, or nobody can help you.<br /><br />Now FSHKPR. The weight thing is tuff.<br /><br />Just buy gum or sunflower seeds, and when you want a smoke, grab a stick of gum or a handful of seeds instead of the food.<br /><br />Stopping smoking is not easy and don't let anyone tell you different.<br /><br />Good luck to both of you and I'm pulling for you.

Re: Calling OBJ

sbn, thats great to hear. it takes lots of willpower "and alot of gum", someday i'll quit. if it dont kill me first! <br /><br />everybody else inspired by this, get the sugarless gum. or you'll be seeing the dentist like sbn.

Re: Calling OBJ

I smoke, but plan to quit. I will be alot easier for me to quit than alot of you, because I have only been smoking since I was 18, and am 25 now. I dont know why I started, I guess cause it was there. I know that Im not in near the health I was in, when I was in highschool, and the sad part is, that it was not that long ago.<br /><br />If SBN promises to come down here and take me fishing, I will quit today!

Re: Calling OBJ

I'm a reformed smoker. I quit cold turkey many<br />years ago. The biggest reason for not quiting in<br />MHO is the want factor. You must reach a point <br />were you want to quit more than you want to smoke.<br />Once you decide, quiting becomes much easier.And<br />the reasons for quiting are obvious.As each week<br />passes the craving for smoking decreases,yet it<br />never quit goes away. But after a few years you<br />will detest it. Secondly if you wish to end<br />a habit, the best way to do it is replace it with<br />another habit. Just pick one, gum will work,<br />peanuts, or what ever.
