Need prayers for those around me...
And probably more than a few for myself.
Tomorrow I start taking Chantix to quit smoking. 20 years, a pack a day the last 10 or so.
With just about everything else I've tried I'm so irritable by the second or third day I can't even stand to be around me, much less anyone else...

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
I'm hoping for your success in quitting. From a former smoker, I really hope that you do it. I know that it's hard, I enjoyed smoking from the first one to the last one. I've been tobacco free since 1990. You can do it, you will feel better.

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
Chewed the gum for a few weeks, after running 28 years of 2 to 5 packs a day. The thing that got me over the hump was figuring the 1000$+ a year back in 1990 would buy me a new rifle every year. Worked. At todays prices that could be a custom rifle a year. Once you get over the hump, tobacco smell will make you sick. That helps keep offf the habit. GOOD: no BEST of LUCK! Rogn

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
Good luck to ya brother. I smoked for many years, a pack a day. I tried several times to quit before I really got serious, and I decided one day I didn't want to do it anymore, and just quit cold turkey. It was tough for a while, but I made it through without killing anyone!

Been doin' that for a little over 6 months now. It's been 3 months or so since smoking quit being enjoyable so I figured I'd better take the hint.UncleBuck wrote:awp101,

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
My biggest problem when I tried to quit several times was the feeling of "OH MY GOD THERE"S NO CIGARETTES IN THE TRUCK" so the last and so far sucessful time(9-11-2004) I bought a pack and velcroed them to the dash. My thought, if I need one it is there,BUT I AIN'T OPENING THE SUMBITCHES., so now it's a matter of willpower and can I get through this craving. After about 6 months they were pretty nasty looking and got thrown out. Prayers for ya! If I can do it you can!

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
I quit by going cold turkey but I always carried tobacco and a lighter until I knew I'd won the battle. I found it less of a problem knowing that I could smoke IF I wanted too than knowing that I couldn't.

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
I stopped smoking 15 months ago. 40 year habit, 1.5 packs/day. I chomped on the gum until my jaws hurt. This was a tough thing to do, but I feel better. Put on a LOT of weight that I now need to start getting rid of...not gonna' be easy.
Good luck to you! You can certainly do it!

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
The other thing I did was every week I took $25(the cost of a carton of smokes back then) down to my LGS and put it on account. When I wanted supplies or a new gun, I asked what was in the account and usually got what I wanted from the non smokers fund, and it was just enough of a positive reinforcement to make quitting seem like a good idea.

Andrew, you have my prayers for you and your bride.
Lord, give Andrew the strength to love and respect and nurture the temple you built for his soul.
I did this about 23 years ago and am so very glad I made it.
Tip: Pour down the fluids -- NO NOT THOSE FLUIDS -- until you slosh when you walk. It will help rinse out the poisons ...

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
Guess I was just fortunate, forgot to buy a pack...a couple of weeks later my wife asked if I quit smoking...thought about it for a second. "Yeah, guess I did", I responded.
That was 'bout fifteen, twenty years ago and never thought that I needed or wanted one. 'Course, never could stand the smell. Now if I could just do that with food...
Prayers up.

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
Hope it goes well for you, I was always too cheap to smoke. My Dad quit just cold turkey 1 day after 25 years of smoking. I would rather try to give up my guns and reloading than try to quit cigs.

No but I'll read up on it. She was told she couldn't take hormones due to a blood clot several years ago. I'm pretty sure that's what she heard when what they really said was no synthetic hormones. Either way, she's got it in her head "no hormones".Tycer wrote: Has your wife discovered progesterone cream? Saved my marriage.

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
I pray you can get it done. I quit cigarettes in Jan. of '86. Started smoking Muriel coronellas cigars instead. Didn't inhale the cigars. Pretty soon I quit the cigars because they were gross. Haven't had a cig or cigar since '86. Other than the reward of better health, sense of smell really improves. You'll be able to tell a smoker when they walk in the room from 10 feet away.
Just as an aside.....when I started smoking, I could buy a carton of Winstons for $2.10 at Rose's Dept. store in Charlotte, NC. Used to really tick me off anytime I had to pay 35 cents for a pack out of a machine. Them days are GONE!
BEST OF LUCK! YOU CAN.

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
I kicked a couple of nasty habits. Life got better after the smoke cleared, pun intended. No matter how crappy it gets you are doing the right thing for you and your loved ones.
I recently was given a hormone for the big C that turned me into lunatic linebacker! I stayed in the basement and the family stayed up stairs when Dad was on the pills. I must have said "keep your mouth shut and your butt in this chair a hundred times" a day, it worked.

A GOOD pipe and EXPENSIVE/GOOD pipe tobacco, &/or a handrolled cigar.
Neither of which can be smoked in a hurry (i.e. in a smoke-break).
I now smoke a cheroot or pipe less than a half dozen times a year...

Re: Need prayers for those around me...
Thanks again guys.
It's day 4 and for the most part I haven't had the jitters I was dreading. I'm still at a pack a day BUT it's mostly because I have some routines I have to break. I have a habit of going outside to think and smoking "helps".
I didn't expect to see a drastic reduction 4 days in so no blood, no foul. But it's nice to see it's more of a habit than a craving at the moment...
