Cougar Posted February 8, 2010 Author #7 Posted February 8, 2010 I also figured that an average of $2.50 a pack for that long as they were lower way back when and now over $5 a pack I have spent over $39,237.50 WOW that is a lot of goodies

Pictonian Posted February 8, 2010 #9 Posted February 8, 2010 Congrats Cougar,It was 6 years smokefree for me on Jan 3rd and coldturkey is the only way to do it.I found chewing on wooden toothpicks kept me away from the candy but I am at present working on removing the 45lbs I added after quitting. Steve
Cougar Posted February 9, 2010 Author #10 Posted February 9, 2010 Congrats Steve !! That seems like a lot of years to me right now

bj66 Posted February 9, 2010 #13 Posted February 9, 2010 I quit chewing after 18 years, then quit drinking 2 weeks after that. Both cold turkey! It was a bit of a shocker, but after a few weeks it wasnt bad. If you know deep down inside that you really want to quit, you can. It has been 9 years since I quit. I am always happy to hear of somebody who can quit. CONGRATS!
Bvinson Posted February 9, 2010 #14 Posted February 9, 2010 That's what I gave myself for my 30th birthday... my 56th is around the corner in March. Hang in there, it's worth the effort.

Yup, just another jelly Fish here. Maybe someday
Motorcycle Mike Posted February 9, 2010 #25 Posted February 9, 2010 Me and the wife both quit at the same time. We both smoked 3 packs a day for many years. The first 2 months were tough but then gradually got easyer. It's been 9 years now and I havent had the urge to light up in a long long time. We both find the odor of cigarets repulsive now. One of the things that helped get me over the ruff spots was to hum. It sounds silly I know but it helps relive stress. Try it. Hang in there. It does get easyer and soon, you won't miss it at all.
