Coler's stopping smoking thread

BTW,Coler , I actually QUIT by accident.

I was hanging around with a girl that didn't smoke so naturally I would NOT smoke around her.One day I spent most of the day and evening with her and by the time I got home many hours later I realized that it was a long time since I had a smoke so why not go to bed and wake up the next day and add up the hours that I went smoke less.I did that and the next day I QUIT. I threw the rest of the smokes in the garbage. 2 packs a day to NONE just like that .
 
I bought a new big screen TV as a reward to myself for quitting smoking. I figured I was spending about $30-40 week on smokes anyway. It's disturbing when you realize how much money you're spending on cigarettes while killing yourself in the process. Not to mention the medical bills down the road.
 
Amen Slapdaddy (oops, is it illegal to say that ) :(

Thanks for sharing all of your stories folks, especially those that have been bereaved - I appreciate it is very tough to revisit such things and am sorry for your troubles.
 
I've told myself for years ( since I turned 20 or so ) that I would quit when I turn 30. That happens this September. I'm going to do it! It can't be any worse than quitting painkillers. Good luck Coler... once you get a month or so under your belt you really start to notice how nasty it smells.
 
My neighbor came home one day a few years back in a nice shiny new pick up truck. He said it was his reward to himself for 20 years of sobriety. I applauded him. I totally think you should do something special for yourself. It's a big accomplishment to quit. Just taking the plunge and quitting is huge. To be able to sustain that is even bigger. It deserves a reward in my opinion!
 
Ok , HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :)
 
right on coler!!
i am planning on quitting very soon. i have an appointment at my local quit smoking clinic on thursday, and i think i'm going to try using Zyban or whatever the doc recomends..
Best of luck to you. (:
