Re: **** (Avette4me)
Congrats Avette4me.
My wife quit cold turkey too. It was tuff on her. She slipped one time in the beginning and I busted her. She has been quit now for over 5 and like most who do quit smoking can't stand the smell anymore.

Re: **** (Eddie 70)
Thanks! I agree with the smell part. Had to stay in a smoking room on my last journey - all of my stuff and myself just reeked. The wife noticed as soon as I walked in.
I am very glad I did and, while I won't preach to smokers, I recommend it to anyone.

Re: Cigs (Avette4me)
:cheers: I quit a little over 7 months ago, chewed the gum for a while and quit that in Feb-Mar. I still have an occasional craving but it has gotten A LOT easier to go for whole days without even thinking about cigs. :cheers:

I quit all the time. What I need is the wife to quit, too.
The only good thing is that I am at less than a pack a week, now.
I could go cold turkey no problem - but not when I come home to it every night.

I planned to title it Cigs here, so I didn't make anyone in the friendly forum mad.
Anyway, thanks!

Re: **** (Avette4me)
July 7th will be 4 years since I quit. I quit cold turkey. I was lighting a camp fire one evening and grabbed for a smoke, then decided I was quitting, threw the pack in the fire and never looked back. :yesnod: Of course, I had quit a few dozen times before that, but to really quit you have to just put your mind to it. When you really decide to quit it's a different feeling that when you half heartedly do it. My son was almost a year old, my daughter not yet born but planned, so I decided it was time to hang up the smokes. :cool: :cool:

Re: Cigs (Avette4me)
I'm also a quitter, 3 years in Aug. I can't beleive how much I notice the odor on people who smoke, I must have smelled the same way all of those years to non smokers. I now have a justified reason to buy lottery tickets every week. It's cheaper than cigs and instead of chancing lung cancer I'm chancing being a millionaire! :thumbs:

Personally, I've never put a *** in my mouth (or anywhere else for that matter) but I applaud anyone who can resist the temptation to suck on one... :jester

Re: Cigs (AGVI)
I quit in May 1976 when my new 1976 Buckskin Corvette arrived. I really needed an outside insentive to quit. So I promised myself no ashes or cigarette smoke in a new Corvette. The car came in and I gave away what was left of my pack of Winstons and haven't looked back.
