I bought myself a little boat

I quit a while ago, before the holidays, and the number one reason I did poorly in the Portly Angler (I thought I could do both at the same time - what was I thinking :rotf2: ?).

I still steal one on occasion when alcohol is involved or when I feel like going Postal.

saved money:confused:by not smoking....had to spend or the wife would smell it on me an she'd take it.

11 months today :) crushing 20-25 miles a week running and my deadlift is 100 pounds more than my body weight... Its a start :):uhuh:

Look at you Vic :rotf2: Your a beast :rotf2:

going for strength or shape?

Great job guys!

I am getting the electric thing soon like this week and giving it hell. I smoke like its a job. Last time I quit I was in the gym everyday for two years almost. Now I am a tub. My dead lift is probably back around my body weight now. Sad.

DO IT
 

3 years smoke free. :uhuh:

The 20 to 25 miles per week is awesome, trying to do the same so I know what it takes.

Gave up the butts 21 years, 5 months, 15 days ago but whose counting.

Hardest thing I ever did in my life, makes me feel bad for anyone with an addiction.

I told my kids I used to smoke and you would have thought I had the plague - it is good that this generation thinks this way.

Keep it up TT, like I said you are doing awesome!!! :uhuh:

The electric thing sucks and just makes you want to smoke even more. The patch has been working great. No real cravings even when partying with smokers this past long weekend. Yesterday I went without a patch just to see and I didn't need a smoke. I did put one on this am just to be safe and follow the program. I tried the e smoke for #^&#^&#^&#^&zz and giggles a couple of months ago. All it did was prime me up while I was indoors to go out for the real thing. I have been smoking for 21 years and I'm only 34. What a shame!:smash: 7 days without a butt and I'm not missing it at all so far. Hopefully this is the end. I have no real cravings or reasons to smoke. Plus now I can smell it on other people and it's friggin HORRIBLE. That's how I smelled for more than half of my life:yak4:

Still not smokin'
And happy about it!

Still never smoked....48 years and no intention of doing so!!!:rotf2:

:smokin: :laughs: keep up the good work!

:rotf2: Thanks Matt! Seriously folks you are all to be commended!!! Keep it up!!:uhuh:

1 year this past August smoke free. Completed various 5k's, ran the 10 mile blessing of the fleet road race as well as the providence half marathon. Running 3 days a week and crossfitting 3. On week 5 of a 12 week endurance program. While everyone is relaxing now is the time to train hard!! I smoked from 15 yrs old to 33. Deadlift is currently 20 pounds shy of double my body weight.

Put your mind to it and you can do it! I'm in northern RI if any if you guys need anyone to run or walk with you etc let me know and maybe we work out a time! Stay on it guys! Keep up the good work!

Looking back to the guys just quitting. Speaking for myself the stopping part if lighting up was hard. I got rid of all lighters, matches etc. I didn't do the when I finish this pack thing. I think I had just opened a fresh pack and I crushed it and tossed it. The most hardest part for me was my own excuses. "What a great cup of coffee" time for a smoke. "I can't believe that woman cut me off " time for a smoke... "It's 10:15am" time for a smoke. I'm pissed off, time for a smoke.. The excuses are what I had to be aware of so stay strong!

Get your vehicle detailed and interior cleaned to be smoke free! You'll love it!
Also give yourself rewards can be something simple/ easy but something you'll have for a while that you can look at and remember I got that for myself at week such and such or month such and such.

You still stink now, it's just the other smell isn't covered up by the smoke anymore.

Seriously, congrats on quitting, man. Your kid will appreciate the extra years you have to spend with him. :uhuh:

If you have any more of the Acid Dirt cigars, you can give them to me next week. You don't want to be tempted by having them around, lol.

thats awesome congrats on the accomplishment. Best of luck to all trying to quit. You will never regret that you quit but you will regret that you kept smoking.

I have a humidor full of stuff in the basement but I haven't added water in years! Any way of reviving them?

Finally got it licked!!! Quit several times over the past 5 yrs or so. It looks like this time it stuck,,, thank God.
Started the gym and patch every morning at 5:00 (except fishing days :-)) several months ago. Off the patch and still on the gym.

Don't ever give up trying,,, it can be done and the gym is fun,,, hey! that rhymes :)

Gup

If the wrappers are intact and they don't fall apart when you pick them up, they can be revived. They won't be perfect, but they'll be very smokable. There are a few ways of doing it, but I usually just humidify the heck out of them for a couple weeks.

I'll trade them for one of your famous reach arounds. Remind me and I'll bring them to Bob's

I might still have a bunch of Cuba in there also

You got it. And for the record, you would have got the reach around anyways. :rotf2:

Flush them down the crapper.
