Good Morning, Indie
How many of you are smokers?
~Count me in that group.
How many do you smoke in a day?
~Usually a pack. Sometimes more if I'm out drinking. Sometimes less, like right now cause I'm sick.
When did you start smoking?
~15 or so
Have you ever tried to quit?
~I've tried to quit cold turkey.
If so, what methods have you tried?
~Just cold turkey. It doesn't work for me. I have no willpower.
I've been thinking of trying the patches. I have a friend who quit using those. When I'm ready, I'll quit.

How many of you are smokers? Me too.
How many do you smoke in a day? Little less than a pack.
When did you start smoking? 1970.
Have you ever tried to quit? Many times. Once for 17 months, but I went back after my wife and split up.
If so, what methods have you tried? That most successful time, with Wellbutrin, a mild anti-depressant. I've heard Zyban is really effective, but my insurance won't cover it, and it's a hundred bucks (US) a month. Here, cigarettes are cheaper.

Hi
I am the same as you Estevie, I started around 15 yrs old too. I've tried to quit a few times, and I had success with the patch, but I ended up going back to smoking after a few days. I'm smoking a pack to pack and a half a day.
It's a fucking demon weed I tell you. I'm going to give it another try with Zyban as soon as my insurance kicks in, in a couple more weeks.

Add me to the count too...
A pack a day.
16 or so I guess.
I only tried to quit once and did for 4 months or so.
I got really sick last winter and bascially slept for 5 days straight. When I came to I still couldn't smoke and after 2 weeks of being sick I had the major stuff out of my system.
I just got stupid and lit up while out one night drinking and it all started back up from there...

When you're ready I.R....
It's the old cost ratio mindgame you play when you want to give it a go. When I decide to quit, I look at the worst case scenerio if I got cancer or emphysema.
Do I want to talk through a hole in my throat? Do I want to be winded just walking out for a paper, slowly suffocating? (I have a good example, my grandpa died from emphysema from lead based paint)
Do I have anyone I want to see grow up, to be there for them? Is that worth that puff of smoke?
The best benefit is the money you save is incredible, and at the end of every month you've gone without, treat yourself to a gift, spa, or pay for sex!
The reward system is really a visible measure of your ability to stick to your will. Remember, the physical addiction only last 72hrs, after that, it's mental!

Re: Re: Smokers?
How many of you are smokers? Not me - last cigarette was smoked 2 months ago.
How many do you smoke in a day? For the last 5 years or so I was smoking about 1-2 a day.
When did you start smoking? Around 15.
Have you ever tried to quit? See above. I've also quit countless times before, but this is for good (but damn, I really wanted a cigarette last night!).
If so, what methods have you tried? Will power. [/B]
