be very careful.  drinking is the the biggest problem.  I felt the same way about the disgust, but saddly even i have fallen back for a smoke here and there when shit faced.



GOOD LUCK YOU ALL.
Same.
But have not been broken yet as I still resist the urge most of the time.  All of my friends smoke so I am surrounded by it.  Should be a tough holiday season.
Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

Great job  MeltMe, Nab, and Lifeboy!!!!

Friday will be my 6 month cigarette free anniversary!  It really is a piece of cake at this point.  The urges are few and far between.  Being around people smoking really doesn't bother me either.

10 months today. But I'm really excited to see the other folks that jumped on board. Hope you guys are all keeping it up.

Nab, after reading those posts about the wifey and it causing those negative aspects creep into the relationship, didn't see anything after. Hope all that worked out, and she's trying again.

I had to let the negative feelings go.  I don't think that she is smoking at work still; if she is she's getting better at hiding it or doing it less often.  I had to let the matter rest or I was going to go crazy. 

Still bugs me when I feel suspicious.  When I do I realize there is nothing I can do about it and I try to resolve the things I can in my own head to make myself feel better about it. 


Thanks for reminding me though, I passed the 10 month mark as well, just last week.  Glad to hear its going well for you still too.

Yeah, I remembered you being ahead of me by a week. But don't worry I'll catch up one of these days, ha ha ha!  :-P

Seriously tho, I really don't know any advice to give on how to handle that. You guys are partners, but you're also on your own personal journeys as well. I guess all you can do is stay strong yourself, and be supportive of her. So happy to see you staying strong though!

And thanks slslbs- you've always been a good supporter of those struggling with quitting  :-)

I enjoyed 1 cig sometime during set 3 or the encore on NYE at MSG. Perhaps I will again next year. That is all.
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

You should really think about quitting.

You'll notice I used the word enjoyed. I thinl back to the pack+ a day habit I had at different times and really only enjoyed 1 or 2 of em a day.

yeah, I was just taking the piss out of ya. Interesting thought above though. I think I enjoyed about about half of my previous daily intake. I always loved the post joint cigarette (I used to burn five a day). Then there was the after morning coffee smoke and the post coitus smoke. So my enjoyment number would be about 7 or so.

Before I quit, smoking was a chore.
Just hated it, but still did it out of rote.
01-01 was 6 yrs for me.  :-)
