THAT RIGHT THERE is probably the thing everyone quitting Cigarettes should do. It brings home how much work you have to do to pay for this thing you don't want to do. $250 is a car payment. Or all the Utility Bills. Or all the groceries. It's vacation money. Or Christmas money. Or college money. It is a big chunk of the rent. It is enough to buy a decent Suit. It is half of  a new mountian bike, not one of those Walmart bikes, a GOOD one. It is half a set of tires for your car. It is a brake job. Etcetera, etcetera and so on.

Or... you can stick in your mouth and set it on fire.

You Go, Popeye!

Oh yeah but, it's only about half a car payment and about a third of the rent.
But,...I keep going and in ten months time.....

In any case, Real good idea.

FF, yeah, it really does help because you can see some tangable progress and who doesn't like extra money? Ok, maybe that baby who throws cheerios at Jimmy Fallon.

No lozenges, no gum, an occaisional cigar once or twice a week and some chew when the mood strikes.
I find as the weeks go by I forget or think less about smoking ciggarettes.
The breathing is getting better too.

Status: offline 		i quite smoking in Aug 2008...

i tried doing it cold turkey.. and had used a cut straw to use to breath in clean air. Only problem.. is... it did nothing to convince me... once the nicotine withdrawal began... i chewed on the straws nervously.. till they were in shreds.
All while finding myself living in a haze.. a brain thinking of nothing more then having a ciggy.

So.. i lit up again and resumed smoking for TWO more days... thats when i recieved the package of free nicotine patches, that NY State offers those whom wish to quit. Slapped one of those on.. and they worked.. GREAT for me.
i do think though.. that if i hadnt WANTED to quit.. the patches would have done no good.

Sadly.. there are lasting effects.. every now and then.. i miss and still crave a ciggy, anytime i smell others smoke, or in my usual trigger moments.. BUT..well.. while on the patch.. i developed a love of them also.. i really loved the lucid dreaming the patches gave me. REALLY intense and believable dreams. i miss that dreaming.

So, i guess i became addicted to the patches also.. and when i realized that i was becoming addicted to them, for far different reasons.. all the while realizing i didnt really need to use up the whole reccomended dose period.. i stopped them cold turkey. And i was right.. i didnt need them.

To be honest.. I miss the patches and those lucid dreams far more then i miss cigs..lol
