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.

thefishingfreak 08-23-2009 07:45 PM

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

JohnR 08-24-2009 06:08 AM

Fell off the wagon, now getting back on.

vanstaal 08-24-2009 07:07 AM

Good luck all, it get's easier trust me

eskimo 08-24-2009 12:48 PM

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.

Slingah 01-01-2010 07:12 PM

I went just shy of 4 months and picked ONE up....bad move..

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.
