Go For It !!!
 
Broke my ankle in February. Three weeks into cast got a wicked chest cold. Coughed all night every 15 min like clockwork. Lungs hurt so bad thought I was gonna cough up my testicles. Stopped smoking and now it is 2 months and 1 week without a smoke. Wife goes outside and smells when she comes in. Hope she'll stop. Came out of Home Depot the other day and followed a guy who lit up all the way to his car then walked back to mine. But now I say "I choose not to smoke" and it's getting better.

Hang in there - It'll be worth it for all of us.

Sarge :wid:

If your game, we can try to shake this nasty habit together. Lets set a date and if one of us starts smoking again then he owes the other a couple of plugs or something. :bl:

I'm game... :buds:

Alrighty then, lets choose a date :err: The first one to break owes the other a plug of his choice (please don't pick one of those gold plated ones from the smithsonian). Not sure if I'll try the patch or gum or just go cold turkey. Been smoking since I was a teen, almost 30 years now(on and off). I think its time to stop this silliness. Maybe after I'll try to quite sniffin the glue :tm:

reelecstasy 04-06-2005 03:00 PM

one thing at a time :D

How soon? The date I picked is a ways out, I know I know but hey. Lots of things to consider and it was the most feasible for me... I say three plugs, and choice of builders, gotta beg, borrow, and rump swab to get em..
It's been 19yrs... do about 2 1/2 packs a day now of reds, almost $14..over 5k a year !!! stupid :smash:

Wow, thats a lot of tobacky, 2 1/2 per day! A pack will last me at least 2 days, unless I'm chasing them down with beer on a weekend. I can't smoke at work, home or in my new truck. My GF thinks I quit a few months ago and he she finds out I didn't she'll kill me for sure. 3 plugs are fair, thats only 3 or 4 days of smoking for you :smokin: What date did you have in mind?

A man's word is good enough for me, you can lie to your girlfriend and to your mother but not to your friends.. :hihi:

Put it on the calendar, I did...

outfished 04-06-2005 03:43 PM

:kewl: Sounds like a plan, and I won't fall behind on my drinking because I am outside pushing down a choker..... :buds:
Does that mean I gotta bring a present :huh:

Starfish 04-11-2005 08:10 AM

If you are gonna quit smoking then that is a present enough...a few extra years on the end of your life... :bounce: But I do like jewelry ;)
