Becoming Nicotine Free

[Alex2507]

Best of luck with your quitting Adam....

I forgot that adwilk is also named Adam so I thought you were giving him a Broke@ass Mounting crack about ending his love affair with the other Adam. Where's Rick?

I even have to do my job, while on vacation?

It's been awhile, don't know if I even remember...
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The 6 Month Mark

That's right, I did it. A couple of weeks ago I gave up caffeine with a few set backs (like today). I must have drank about 10 cups of coffee while I did some odd jobs and the whole time I felt like having a smoke (not that I would). Today was about the most productive that I've been in a really long time but I totally backslid on the coffee and sugar thing. I ate a bunch of chocolate afterward too. Then I crashed for about 3 hours.

Normally days at a clip go by without ever thinking about it. Especially since I knocked off the coffee. My PMS mood swings are gone and my mind seems to be back to normal. About 3 months ago I quit eating like a kid in a candy store and that stopped the weight gain and has maybe taken a few pounds off ... maybe. Cookouts and such haven't really helped my cause but my modeling days are over anyway.

Six months ...
Today a woman told me her daughter who had quit for six years went back to it ...

There don't seem to be any guarantees.

6 months is great. I just shipped you a few fine Cubans for your success.

 

[Adam]

Congratulations, Alex! Sell those Cubans and get some new gear.

Man I wish I could smoke a Cuban cigar and drink some cognac on a cool Florida evening while listening to wind rustling through the palm frawns and the waves rolling in.

May as well throw a few strippers and a midget into the scenario.

 

[STRONGBADF1]

Good job Alex! I'll bet you're saving lots of money for Tom Jones albums!

 

[ParadigmDawg]

These are actual Cubens, not cigars.

None are midgets but one is pretty short.

They are a tad hairy but you can shave them easily.

I had a few extras locked up so don't mind sending to you.

Good Job Alex.

Not that you need any more stories but...

You can add me to the list of people who just lost there mother(12-08) to lung cancer. And like speakerman I was the ultimate momma's boy. 27 years old is way too young to lose a parent!

Keep strong.......you'll be glad you did.

Welcome Nomo !!!

Yes sir, we have another grouch on the block.

Let me tell ya, you know your being cranky when your wife tells you to have a smoke.
Seriously, it gets like that.

I made it through yesterday. Work today will be a challenge.

GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

My girlfriend is quitting too. At least I can blame some one for this.

 

[Adam]

Congrats! Are you using patches or gums?

 

[Nomo]

Congrats! Are you using patches or gums?

Patches. Yesterday I ran out of places to put them. Is there a limit to how many a person can wear?

j/k

 

[Adam]

Later this week, I'll join you in spirit. I ordered some energy patches. Some concept, but with caffeine instead of nicotine.

 

[Alex2507]

My girlfriend is quitting too.

Uh-oh. This could get ugly. Well, get use to not smoking and then ... well, you know what then: no more nicotine. Look, I did it. I know it doesn't help you but it shows it's not impossible. Oh for crying out loud MarkW did it. Now you have to do it too. It's doable. You can do it. Do everything you can think of for your girl at this point. She needs your help. She's weak. You're strong.

Bear the load, NOMO !!!

When you get off nicotine the number of available neuroreceptors that are affected by caffeine double so cut your intake in half. That's a really big word for me. I need a nap.

It get's even worse when you Audoholic friends tell you, "You need a smoke"

Alex, Honey "You need a smoke"

Nomo ... Good Luck in quitting...very hard ... but worth it!

P.S. - Forests and tossed butts don't get along well with each other

Yeah, mine's killing me.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

You bunch of quitters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nomo]

Day three. Still smoke free.
Still no people or animals were harmed.......

I have a meeting at 5:00 today, in part to hear what i've been doing wrong all these years.

Should be a good time.
