Tell the Hubster he has my sympathy. oh, and you meant "...don't think I missed..." :)

For as much time as I spend talking about the various failings of modern feminism (mostly to my long-suffering girlfriend), seeing this makes me realize I probably am one. <_<

Hi Josephheg, and welcome to the Quit Train. First, congratulations on your decision to try to quit smoking! Helping you succeed is why we're all here, and so I hope you don't mind if I add my own thoughts about your plan to cut down smoking a little bit at a time. Many people on this board have different ideas about the best way to quit smoking, but I'm fairly sure that most of them will agree with what I'm about to say. Quitting by cutting down SOUNDS like a good plan, but it probably isn't. I bet almost all of us have tried to "get it under control" a number of times, and failed. The reason is because we're addicted to nicotine, and by cutting back a little bit at a time we're just prolonging our suffering and reinforcing how hard it is for us to stop. We might seem to succeed for a little while, but eventually we'll run out of willpower and go right back to where we where before. And then we have to start all over again, and we feel more powerless than ever. If we just QUIT, then we have to endure withdrawing from nicotine for a few days or weeks - mostly the first week is the worst part - and then it quickly gets easier and easier, until after a while we start to forget what it was even like to smoke. Please take 7 minutes to watch this youtube video from a quit smoking expert - he's talking about exactly this issue, and he explains it very well:

Yeah, I figure Thursday's long enough - it's been lots of fun, but it makes it hard to check up on people's profiles when you can't remember what they're called now.

1 Dangerous game, Joe!

Why the hell would you need a stopper?

Petra. As in petrified, turned to stone. Also Petra the ancient mideast city, carved out of rock. Petra has a thing for The Rock. Coincidence?

My own granddad helped inspire me to keep quit, in honouring a promise I made to him. Your Dad sounds like an amazing guy, and your daughter is already living up to her title as Quit Train Baby.

You dream about sleeping? I bet that gets confusing.

Bakon is jealous because whatever got put up his butt isn't covered by his group plan.
