Pretty good Bart, you're almost there.:claps:

Bart keep it up. One week no skoal for me.

another day down. lost count now.
I'm still on the wellbutrin, taking a pill about every other day. lots of wriglys gum. I feel great put on about 10 pounds but I could use it. :musc:

Today is March 11

65 days no smokes (down to three or four pcs of gum)

3 weeks of at least 5 days at Planet Fitness (lost like 4 lbs...bummer)

14 years clean (& sober) today (I still go to meetings)

I hope all are hanging tough.:musc:

Congrats Patrick .. Joining a gym is a good idea .. Getting in good shape makes less likely I'll poison myself .. I noticed a big difference working the beaches last year .. I actaully gained a few pounds at first joining a gym.. muscle is heavier than fat .. I'm going with it ..

Tagger...I hear you on the muscle weighs more idea...I have been good and going at least 5 days per week and have only lost 7 pounds...I am doing good on the cutting down and eating healthy and do think I am "shifting" some fat to muscle...I would rather be leaning down and am doing mostly cardio at the gym...reisisting the use of supplements and I am not sure aobut them.

still at it. lost count now. coming up on 3 months. :musc:
Still on the wellbutrin maybe a pill every 3'rd day or so . or when I start getting pissed off at the world I'll "take a pill dude"
maybe up 10 pounds or so but that leveled off.

Good to hear. Stay strong everyone.:wavey:

Just about 7 weeks here.
Hope all fighting it off...and those nasty taxes....but mostly for our health .

Did we lose Bart ?

3 years 4 months smoke free here. Keep it up fellas. It gets easier and you will feel better and live longer for it!:wave:

Good to hear. Stay strong everyone!:)

Good luck slingah, 10 days is just about over the hump. :musc:
I feel great 131 days here

still smoke free....cold turkey...thanks for the support all, I just read this whole thread for some help....
I have ZERO energy...came home from work...mind is playing tricks today :eek5:

Hang in there Bro .. Its worth it ,, you have to change now .. your not getting any younger .. clean out ... don't drink ,,, a couple of beers you'll be on the butts again .. good luck ..

I hope I am over the hump....the first week was gravy...the past few days really bad...I want to kill someone, then eat everything in sight, then sleep...in that order...over & over again...:cens:

Hang in there Matt, it actually does get easier. (a little):wave:

It sux ... its maddning .. every waking hour and in your sleep too .. I turned my anger and bad attitude towards the butts and the brown slime that coated my lungs .. It will all go away in time .. Everytime you feel like a butt why don't you :humpty: ????

the desire to kill has lessened a bit today...:devil:

you go girl. Good for you. Get your canal stuff ready too.

almost at 5 weeks.....smoking is now not an option...
how is everyone else doing???

Not good at all :hs:

Still smoke free since new years. Not even a puff. :musc:

wooohooo!!! wtg Mike....Im almost at 2 months....not even a puff either...when someone lights up near me I walk the other way...I don't even want to smell it or Im afraid I;ll want one.....that is sooooo powerful of a drug....it is a GIFT that I have stayed smoke free this long....

My wife's father & brother came to my house last sun for father's day.
My brother in law went out in my yard to have a few smokes.
He came back in ans STUNK out my house. :yak5:
I wanted to tell him to get the f### out of my house and go stink out your own house, but I don't think that would have gone over good with my wife.

Bump.
Who else is now a non smoker?
Not even a sniff since new years!!! :musc:

Fell off the wagon, now getting back on.

Good luck all, it get's easier trust me

can't do it.

switched from a pack of camels a day to rolling my own though. Pack of camels a day was pushing me up to about $240 a month, at least with rolling I'm spending $8 every 5 days or so.

can't roll em on the rocks with wet hands either.
far too dependent to cut cold turkey.

I went just shy of 4 months and picked ONE up....bad move..
I'm at 10 days without a smoke now.....
anyone else? how about the success stories?? I need strength....

i am quitting skoal. sun is the last day - i should be a joy on monday

4 months, GREAT JOB Matt. Just one won't get you back at this point and don't let it. Get to 6 months no matter what! I think that is when you have broken the back of the habit.

I quit just over 15 years ago after smoking for 30+years (started when I was 14 or 15). I too sampled 1 or 2 cigs during the first year, boy did they taste good. After a year they taste like s**t and you are starting to hate the smell of a smoker. Not sure how anyone can afford that habit any more. Take your cig money an put in a jar as evidence of how much you are saving. When the jar is full CELEBRATE.
