You can get them here.... or just search the intraweb....

I can't tell you how much these have helped..... try it.... I justified it by saying it was less than the price of 2 packs of cigs...... and the flavor lasts longer than the stick does.........

I've actually caught myself taking them in and out of my mouth (insert joke #2 here) just like a cig......

And yes, poker night was hell....... of course everyone else was smoking and giving me shit for quiting...... I feel I made a major accomplishment.

Thanks again for the support... whether ya knew it or not......


Still Quit here.... Gotten some pretty Tough Urges but I have overcome them all..


Those Chewing sticks came in today... they KICK MAJOR ASS I bought 4 boxes on accident but I am going to keep all of them. Thanks for the Idea the Flavor really outlasts the toothpick.

Thanks everyone for your support

I quit this week as well.
 
I had said I wanted to be smoke free by my birthday.
Didn’t quite make it.:(
BUT!!

I started coming down with a bug last Sat, by Sunday I was in bed all day, Monday, -Wed were rough, but I managed.The doc isn’t quite sure if I had a touch of food poisoning, or a slight flu bug, either way, it’s now 1:29 am, and I’ve officially gone 6 days with out a smoke.ROFL

Quit cold turkey, and today was work day #2 with out one.
Don’t know if I’m starting to feel any better or not??:hmmm:

But I know one thing is for sure, since the headaches have passed you can’t say 2 words to me without some primal force taking over and having me want to kill you. (Go ahead and say it, a RaIders fan gonna go to prison for murder! :banghead: ) I’ll keep you posted!

StcChief 03-25-2006 09:31 AM

Kick them cigs.... you'll never regret it.

teedubya 03-25-2006 09:52 AM

speaking of giving up stuff... Im on day 25 of No Mountain Dew. I quit smoking cigs back in 1997, and have never had another tobacco cigarette...

but the Mountain Dew crack habit is a tough one... but I act like the shit doesnt exist in my world. As a result of not drinking Mountain Crack... plus working out, I have lost exactly 20 lbs in about 8 weeks.
