gatorsong Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Congratulations to everyone who has quit. I know the struggle only too well. Pack+/day over about 18 years on average with multiple stop-starts. I finally kicked it and have been off of them for 5+ years. It's still a struggle as I have several friends who are still smokers. There are still situations that I have to be where I have to be very careful (bars and parties are two killers). I just have to remember what it was like when I did, and how I feel after I've been exposed to it for an extended period of time to keep me on track, but it is still hard. Just keep pushing, and don't give up. 2 Quote Level 1 - Were-gatorSTR .8 | STA 3.1 | DEX .9 | CON .7 | WIS 2 | CHA .91st Challenge Main goal - 12/15/14 - Get to 175 pounds from 195 pounds.

hwrdfrnd Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I just finished the book, wow you guys were spot on. By the time I was halfway through I couldn't wait to stop smoking! This is the first time I smoked my "last" cigarette and was happy to end it so I am feeling very positive about this. 3 Quote Hwrdfrnd - Goblin AdventurerSTR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0Current Challenge Link to comment

Roldanis Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Awesome job! Your body will thank you for it for sure. My wife is an RN on a Cardiac Critical Care unit and pretty much every single one of her patients that are under the age of 50 are smokers. I don't think that is just coincidence.

This is the first time I smoked my "last" cigarette and was happy to end it so I am feeling very positive about this. Positive feelings are so important to quitting. I think maybe even more important than the desire to quit. Just keep on. It isn't easy but you can do it. I'm rooting for you too!

MissoulaSquatch Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 We musta both woken up around the same time..I celebrated my 6th month on the 13th. Weirdly tho..I've been getting cravings recently for the first time in 5 months..not sure if it's the weather changes or what. I always find it interesting when random cravings come out of nowhere. 1 Quote How to become Sasquatch Link to comment

proVoke Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks everyone I've stopped getting craving really, just still eating a lot more than I used to. But after a year it can't be an excuse anymore to be fat so going back to my strict diet 1 Quote My Battle of Lognesshttp://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/61906-provoke-and-the-calf/ My Instagram https://instagram.com/provoke_6 Link to comment
Basement Cat Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 You mean the people who say "just stop"..and have no idea what it feels like to quit an addiction..those people?Oh those types. Just like those who tell depression sufferers to 'get over it already'. They don't know what to do about it, so they tell us to shut up because we're making them uncomfortable with our issues. Excuse me for trusting you with my vulnerabilities. *shrug* Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky.

Harbard Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Awesome! I smoked for 6 years, and quit 12 years ago when I met the woman who would one day be my wife. I'm confident those are the two best decisions of my life Stick to it no matter what. Nothing is more important for your health now than staying away from those things. 2 Quote Introduction | Workout Log | First Challenge | Current Challenge Link to comment
msmurder84 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 WAY TO GO! It's not an easy thing to quit, so many many props to you! Before you know it, the months will fly by and you will continue to find the benefits of being a non-smoker! (Speaking from experience...1 year 1 month!) 2 Quote Daily Battle Log Link to comment
