You guys should take notaros advice and start working out. Helps take your mind off the smokes and also will keep your weight down with all the extra food you eat when you quit. I put on like 20lbs when i quit.

Woke up at 5am, threw on some shorts and running shoes, fired up the treadmill, stood back, looked at it for a bit... went back upstairs grabbed a cofee and danish... went back to sleep, woke up triple S and off to work....

When my dad quit drinking he picked up another vice......Ice Cream.

He would eat a quart a night, every night, and I'm talking w/ Hot Fudge and Whip Cream. Put on about 30 pounds and he's only about 5'3" so it showed....But after a couple of years he backed off the Ice Cream and the weight came off.

Wicked funny I got a piece of cake the size of arkansas in front of me right NOW! I think I t'd off a bunch of atkins ppl. Here! Ice cream you cant eat that stuff quick without the headache :mad:

Hard candy

WRONG! Sugar eats the enamel off your teeth. Gives you hypercementium.....ask me how I KNOW

if these guys go another 3 mos. maybe we should give them plugage:)

USE TO SMOKE.... keep sayiing it!

I used Altoids to replace the smokes when I was done with Nicorette. Take an imaginary drag with uber-mint in your mouth. Works!;)

okay.. how about chronic masturbation... it worked for Weewee, it could work for Timber :hihi:

It must be the year to kick the nic sticks. I went cold turkey Jan 18...a little over a pack a day...Just don't try and go on a diet at the same time....lots of sweets helped me through the cravings, but now I hit 250#....when is this good weather gonna hit so I can work off the extra extra.....

Im doing alright not feeling so :splat: anymore just eating like crazy, but I been running in the morning before work :D

I'm on one month and still going...

brain re-programing
 

it's the mental associations you make with things that cause you to react
negatively or positively towards them... and i believe there are stop smoking tapes you can buy to change your mind set...for about ten bucks... but remember that smoke is dust....and within that dust is the nicotine,,,which by the way is an insecticide utilized by cotton growers to kill the cotton boweevil
because NOTHING else will.... power walking is better than jogging because is less traumatic to your joints.... and you don't build up carbon dioxide and fatigue yourself so readily..

Hang in there Fishaholic,

My Mom and Dad quit 1 year ago this month...My Dad had pretty much smoked non-filtered Camels for 45 years. If you can stop smoking those things anything is possible.

Is great going to their house now. No cigarette smell and the grandkids don't stink when they come home...

I gotta quit :smash:

I quit smoking about 11 years ago and then quit Copenhagen about 2 years later... Copenhagen was much harder. :bc: :bc: :af: :af: :wall: (I did two tins a day, which is roughly the equivalent nicotine of 6 packs of smokes)

One thing I remember: After about a month or so I noticed my taste buds came back and so did smells (not always good). I also remember how nicotine kinda keeps you in a bit of a haze that you never noticed until you quit...

keep up the good work guys......you won't regret it.

and remember " you used to smoke" " you used to be a smoker"

3 weeks this past saturday. Still eating like a mf'er! :wall: to anyone thinking of quiting GET A BJ"S OR SAMS CLUB CARD!!! You'll be eating LIKE A MF"ER!!!!! :uhuh:

Quitting?!, hell, I'll be starting up again..... cigars on the beach :uhuh: :) johnny

smoking and eating
 

the reason your body craves food is because it is no longer working fulltime with all its eliminatory organs to rid the body of the INSECTICIDE nicotine
and the oral stimulation is also absent. Plus your tastebuds return to normal.

Keep it up Vic.
You can afford a few pounds, you're lucky, unlike me.
I need to go on a f$#@# diet. :peessed:
