NOPE!

Like this you mean whahaha...

NOPE Not today

That's a Sturgis shirt from 2006. I take old t-shirts on my trips and throw them away each day. Makes more room in bike. Do it with socks and underwear too but got to hide them or Boo will take them. Law Enforcement has Got Bosses With Long Necks. They Got Their Heads up their ass so far they look out their belly buttons.

NOPE!

Oh look a bunny!

Appropriations Committee must be doing alright considering the remodeled digs around here. Wondering if net neutrality will give sticks the faster lane.

As your campaign manager, I can fix that

You've got it now. And on another topic, yes, you can stand the withdrawals. Many of us smoked for 40 years or more, and if we can do it, you can, too! It is uncomfortable, sometimes miserable, and you will have lots of physical and emotional reactions. None of these will kill you, regardless of how it might feel for a few minutes. Drink lots of water and have frequent snacks. You can do this!

Nope im not gonna do it!

You can make it the last time that you quit! It's been two days. One more day and nicotine will be absent from your body and then it's all psychological.

Hey! When my friend is in trouble, I'm all in

Oh Wow!! Have a Happy One Doreen

Says who? Too much of a pansy to make the trek to know for sure..."too far, my butt would hurt blah blah"

No , no smoking for me .

1...morning !!!!

So Bakon, I am guessing based on the shirt and another post you made in a thread that you are law enforcement? so let me ask about something - We know in any job, the workers never do things good enough, never fast enough. We hear, "How come it isn't perfect? Why is it taking so long?" So in police work, do the bosses do the same thing? Nothing is ever fast nor good enough?

I thought she had smoked so many she wad actually started to fart them out!

3 those French hens just keep returning!

to: QTrain re: first days nicotine Free In your First Few Days, while the Nicotine left your body, what helped you ? For me, it was Sleep (assisted with over the counter sleep medication or whisky). Ice Water. Satsumas, Citrus. Deep, deep breaths. Long 'singing' showers. (If I had known about y'all, I guarantee I would have been here) Edited to avoid controversy as to method of quitting smoking. I just want to know what helped you while nicotine left your body.

Doreen, hope you are having some fun on your birthday...know you've got a lot going on...

I give Doreen a Qi Gong poster to keep her inspired

Distract yourself in what ever way works for you Latoya. For the first few days, I binge watched movies and stayed on here a lot, reading, reading and watching videos about this addiction. It really helped me understand just what smoking is. There's also a games page here that you can navigate around and spend mindless hours just distracting yourself. Learn to embrace the quit process because your body and mind are once again learning how to function like they did before you started smoking. It takes a while but everything does for sure get better as long as you just resist the urge to smoke again - NOPE is the key! Not One Puff Ever

I cant stand the withdrawals, Mine are bad. I get so frustrated but i will take your advice and use them for a short period @maryland

What the hell?? 4

^^^ Yes - this is true (what MQ said). See the addiction for what it is and know that it does nothing positive for you

Hang in there, Latoya. You can do this! All of us here are doing it.

There's no right or wrong way to quit Latoya. Many use NRT items such as the patch, gum or spray. Others use Chantix or similar aids to help them quit. Using an aid will mean you need to discontinue it at some point but the thinking is that by time you will be able to handle it better. Myself, I used patches for the first couple of days then just said the heck with them! It may have been more difficult but after a few days, I had the nicotine out of my body. Then, there was just the mental part of quitting - you know, learning to deal with not smoking while living my life again as a non-smoker. It has worked out for me though. Commitment to quitting is very important!

MQ is right, Latoya. It's all up to you. It's the easiest and paradoxically also the hardest part of this quit journey. No one can make you smoke; at the same time, no one can quit for you. Just stay away from smoking, no matter how you feel, what is happening, who is annoying, hurting, enraging you, etc., etc., etc.. No excuses, no exceptions, just don't smoke and you will be successful. Take smoking off the table as an option and get on with your life. As time goes on, it will get easier. It's that simple. Please note I said "simple" not "easy". How easy it is depends predominantly on your mindset. Looking forward to hearing about your journey, PeaceTrain

He better bring friends, a lunch, a note from his mom, and something up his sleeve... bakon only serves it with a side of Woop Ass. And if the friend is that side kick squealer...well thats No help. A Chick can beat a Canadian

The picture of that tank full of cigarettes is a very good quit tool . Can you imagine them smouldering .. the smell .. ug ! What would those glass windows look like ? . Would we actually be able to see through them ? Do you remember a time when in hospitals they had those glass rooms and people sat in there and smoked . I was one of those people and when I got a chance I would go outside instead because the smell would almost make me vomit . I would send anyone I could to go buy me a pack if I was getting low or should say three packs just in case you know. Boy it sure makes you appreciate not smoking . No more stressful moments like those .

^^^^ Sounds pretty much like any other business

Their was a body odor issue too.

Will I smoke today...NOPE !!!!

II Still working on Bakons code !!!!

Can't wait to see you....and Boo is close as well...hope it is spring!

It's a thin line between grab ass and pickpocketing. Yeah, well, I hate to brag but...I have shoes and indoor plumbing! I'm kind of a big deal.

Hey! That's pretty astute. Maybe you can replace this guy
