Should Tom & Dub quit???

[Ldub]

I've been clean since April (or was it March?) 40 years of perfectly good cigarette smoke...down the drain. But I don't cough any more.

Good X2 for you Chopper...

I have great admiration for those with the strength of platinum will that's required to kick these things.

Stay widdit Bro...

In the words of the legendary Mark Twain:

“It's easy to quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times.”


Unfortunately for me, like Twain, Dub, Tom and millions of others, it's the starting again that's the problem

It's almost scary how much it becomes a part of your life. It's un-natural for me to sit behind the wheel without a dip of Cope.

What I wasn't really anticipating was the compulsion while working on the car. Out in the 90 degree 112% humidity yesterday trying to track down electrical gremlins on a 3000GT, sweat was literally dripping off me & I started breaking stuff & doing everything wrong. I realized that it was withdrawal symptoms. After a nice dose of nicotine, everything logically pointed to the MFI Relay.

I'm not justifying the addiction - I'm actually advocating the need to quit. I'd love to at least cut back to the point where I want one rather than need one.

When I was recovering from 7 fractures in my lower back, I had to go through withdrawals from Morphine. After two days of feeling like I had the worst flu ever and all the other F'd up things DTs make you do, it does feel like its going to last forever, finally, it was over and everything was great..

You will be proud of yourself knowing that you CAN and WILL survive. From that point on, life will only get better!

Nicotine addiction actually changes your thought processes!Firing of the synapses.
That's why you can't "think" until you get a dose.
I used to work on a construction site with a bunch of smokers.If you asked them a question,they really couldn't answer until they took a drag. NO joke!

Guess Scott hit the nail on the head.

So the best way to quit smoking is to become addicted to morphine?...

Since you aren't quoting my comment, I have no way of knowing for sure (though I have my suspicions) if that salvo was fired in my direction...

I have one of my golfing buddies that chews while we are playing golf.
He is spitting the chew out all the time on the golf course. It is disgusting.
He teaches heath in high school and the risks of smoking and chewing.
I have never been a smoker or chewer and know it must be hard to quit.
Please give it up.

I smoked for 20 years. Just quit march 10th....well sort of....i have found the ultimate tool for quiting. I use commit / nicotine lozenges. Just a morsel of the weak 2 miligrammers gets me off. I love being able to draw nicotine in very light amounts anytime anywhere and no one can say chit about it. This steady flow of the superdrug keeps me calm cool and collective. The cappuccino flaver ones really work well for me since I can have coffee in the morning with one in. I do split each lozenge into 4 pcs. so im getting about a 1/2 of a gram of nicotine which is small but just enough to satisfy.
I can not understate how much I enjoy these and how well they helped me escape smoking. I do not have any plans on quiting them and I do not care if I rely on them so please don't respond with "trading one addiction for another"

Absolutely. Yer Welcome.
