Quitting Smoking
Both the wife and I need to quit, and since we've tried to quit at the same time before, and THAT REALLY SUCKED, I took the plunge first.

Haven't had a cigarette since last night. I've quit several times in the past, sometimes for up to three months - quitting ain't the problem - it's staying quit that kicks my ass.

Any advice on non-smoking methods/products or encouragement would be appreciated.

We had a thread about that a couple of nights ago. Paying at the pump is the way to go.

As soon as I'd swallowed my first mouthful (Sam Adams on tap is wonderful, BTW) the cigarette demon said HEY fuckER I'M STILL HERE AND YOU CAN'T DRINK BEER WITH A SMOKE, DAMMIT! GET ME A MARLBORO NOW! Oh my God it was like someone walked up and punched me. Now, I was at a non-smoking restaurant, and the urge was long gone by the time I left, but I don't know what I'd have done if there had been somebody sitting there smoking. That would have been tough.

The moral of the story - cigarette demon is still lurking. It will try to hit you over the head with a bottle (or glass) of beer, so be ready for it.

Cig demon is better than Coke Demon coming around??

That's nearly 10 years gone now. Coke demon is little more than a bad memory.

It was easier to quit coke. Of course, when I quit coke, there weren't ten people freebasing outside the door of my office building every morning when I went to work. Hard to get away from cigarette smoke. Well, not so much anymore.

Best advice I can give - GUM. Not nicotine gum, just regular gum (I use Trident, so it's good for the teeth, too). Replace your oral fixation with chewing instead of smoking.

Good luck. Poker night must have been a bitch. I would have personally sworn that off for a while. Be careful. Cigarette demon definitely plays cards.

I've been chewing the shit out of these Tea Tree Australian Chewing Sticks..... basically fancy toothpicks soaked with tea tree oil, cinnamon, peppermint, and spearmint.... I highly recommend them!! Made by Thursday Plantation Co .

It's been a big help for the oral fixation...(insert joke here)...

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......

You're welcome. Good luck.

And those toothpick things rock - I just don't know where to get them.
