"Milestone"
« on: May 17, 2011, 06:43:41 PM »
Today marks one week without a cigarette.

I've only saved ~$25 so far (a pack lasted me 2-3 days), but I do feel quite a bit better. It's tough sometimes at work, since I have a few co-workers who smoke, and I'm so used to having one in the morning, after lunch, etc.

Next step is kicking the Skoal habit again...

Congrats buddy! I would work on one at a time so be good with the cigs and then tackle the dip. If you kick the dip though...your going to have to create a new screen name :2funny:

Keep the faith.  After long enough you'll lose track of how long it's been and then it's way easier.  I stopped sometime in the fall and have saved tons of money...though I used patches instead of dip...   :mrgreen:

This is the tough one...I've done it a couple times in my life.  The gum is very helpful as is Wellbutrin depending upon your level of addiction.   Between studying and fishing during law school I developed a serious habit; Wellbutrin worked like a switch for me.

Keep it up, it's worth it in the end. :mrgreen:

Gum, sunflower seeds, nicotine patches, Welbutrin, and Chantix never worked. The issue was my self-control...

My doctor told me that a tin has a nicotine equivalent to four packs of cigs, so it's not surprising it's so tough to quit :|

  Good luck quitting, Matt.  It's been 5 years for me.  It was tough but worth it.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

^lol

Congrats man, it's hard.  It's been about three months since I've bought a pack.  I do occasionally have one if I'm offered though.

I'm glad I never started dipping.  The whole spitting thing kept me away.

Keep it up Matt!

The hardest times are when you're having a beer, so make sure whoever you're drinking with knows to smack you if you light up.

Just a suggestion.

Every morning when you get up, swallow a giant mouthful of the Skoal.  Unless you are way more bad-ass than I've imagined, eventually it will work... :mrgreen:
