Rain Forest Quit Date: May 13, 2009 Posted April 21, 2014 · IP When you first quit smoking, the most horrible people to be around are the ones still smoking, and it’s not because they smoke. It’s because they don’t understand at all, you are making them feel guilty as hell because you are doing what they “wish” they could do, and they are almost worst than the Nicodemon and it’s craves: they try to get you to smoke. I relapsed a few times before I found my sticky quit… but I sure remember when I first started “trying” to quit, I was still working in an office… all my smoking buddies would come by my desk to get me for our breaks, even offering me a cig… I heard it all, the “so you’re still not smoking?” and “I wish I could quit too, here, come have a smoke with us, one won’t matter.” Then even worse, they hid from me as if what they were doing was sneaky. I felt particularly bad for this one woman I worked with because she is the reason I quit smoking. She had been to the doctor and was told if she didn’t quit, she’d be dead in a few years because of various health issues… so they put her on Chantix and she was able to quit smoking… now I saw this: she wasn’t upset, she didn’t seem to have trouble with her quit… so I went to my dr and asked for Chantix too… then I used it… well, the first time I lasted a few months (I was still not educated on my addiction, didn‘t have a clue what I was doing)… my friend ended up going back to smoking as soon as she stopped the Chantix. But I couldn’t keep happily smoking… once I was quit for more than a few days, I started to see that it’s possible to quit for good. It took me another year before I found my sticky quit, so please, even if you relapse, DO NOT QUIT QUITTING!!! You can do this, you truly can. Do not give up. One of these times, a bell will go off in your head... kinda like what the fox says... DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!! lol This past year, my friend had a really huge scare… they found something on a cat-scan on her lung, and she was terrified that “this is it”. She lived thru the whole Christmas holiday in fear, thinking the worst… she told me she will quit smoking if it’s not cancer… Well, after the new year, she found out there was nothing there, she was ok. She’s still smoking with no plan to quit. God, I hate to say this, but she is gonna die a smoker. Are you?

Keep putting one foot in front of the other Jeff, you're doing great!

We also have tickers for our signatures that will show you the time, money saved and cigarettes NOT smoked since you quit. I loved logging on each morning and watching mine grow. And once you start showing those numbers to your hubby he may just quit too

You're beating this addiction too Jeff everyday you stay smoke free! At three days quit all the nicotine will pretty much be out of your system and for me it got harder because my body really wanted its fix. So be prepared in case that happens(not that it will). Stick close, post an SOS if needed, stock up on hard candies to suck on. I was stuck on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year but hey I never smoked and ate at the same time so keeping my mouth full of those was well worth it You're doing great!!!!!!

Not all toilet paper......just Charmin Are Alexa and Siri related?

10. Sugar artists scrunch up saran wrap and pour isomalt over it to form ice glaciers and the what not Canned air

Fine the crook!

@Boo, I used to be so anal about putting my lights and decorations out just right. Every bulb on the house had to be perfectly straight and every decoration had to be perfectly placed. It was usually a two to three day job on the outside and it always amazed me how quickly all that hard work came down lol

Five Why can't we squeeze the Charmin?
