I am scared of the Vegas show; very scared, in fact.

I haven't had a cigarette or any form of nicotine in 2 weeks. This is the first time I've gone so long cold-turkey. I want so bad to quit. There are going to be 20,000 smokers at the Mandalay.

Nader · 12-30-2004, 04:58 PM

20,001 counting me sorry Rick

MBS Auto · 12-30-2004, 04:58 PM

YUP!!! That is the NUMBER 1 thing I hate about Living in Vegas... all the freakin smokers

When I fly to LA ...it like heaven, no smoke anywhere

More Booze · 12-30-2004, 04:58 PM

Thats sucks, but be a man, if you really want to quit smoking, just do it!

That's why we are waiting until after Internext to quit.....I feel for you, Rick.

Hey man stay strong it's for your health...If you can overcome this you can overcome anything...Good Luck

MBS Auto · 12-30-2004, 05:00 PM

well, at least you still smoke the Ganga??!!

candyflip · 12-30-2004, 05:01 PM

You're right on the cusp. Those 20k will either get you back on the wagon or help completely turn you off for good.

Good luck.

Well, i quit when I did because I just spent 3 weeks snowboarding up in Whistler. I haven't struggled too much. Those first couple of days were murder but I've been ok since. I still have 30-60 minutes a day where I'm just real stressed.

I smoked from 12 to 32. I really don't remember what it is like to be a non-smoker.

Pornkings · 12-30-2004, 05:07 PM

Haven't smoked for six months now and I still crave it. I might even brake down.

And we are both staying for the video side as well

SomeCreep · 12-30-2004, 05:13 PM

Sucks to be addicted. Good luck quitting.

AmeliaG · 12-30-2004, 05:16 PM

Looks like you picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue... (gratuitous movie reference, not implying you actually sniff glue)

Missy · 12-30-2004, 05:19 PM

You can do it. Just stay away from that first cigarette. It's that "just one smoke" that will do you in. I quit just over a year ago, and it feels fucking great! If you can get through next week without smoking, you'll be on top of the world!

Bobbi Doll · 12-30-2004, 05:21 PM

Ha! Me too... I am not smoking right now but I probably will smoke some on NYE and a bunch in Vegas. I am done after the convention though.

Hate to say it, but Internext has blown my smoking alienation twice. I am smoking now and intend to continue through the show.

I quit easily, but the show is barrier I can't get over man....

Good Luck to you though.

RevSand · 12-30-2004, 05:52 PM

Good luck... Hopefully all the cig smoke will just make you sick and not want one now that you have been in the fresh air for so long without smoking.

MetaMan · 12-30-2004, 05:56 PM

smoke cigars, cigs are for faggy euros, i dont take you for a faggy euro, you should have nothing to worry about.

Manowar · 12-30-2004, 06:00 PM

Good luck on getting rid of them, think of all the pain you are getting rid of by quitting. Feeling better, longer life, more time to spend with the kids as they grow up. Dont give up giving up

ironlung · 12-30-2004, 06:00 PM

in florida its illegal to smoke in public places or restaruants, pretty much just in bars people smoke, im loving it

Mack · 12-30-2004, 06:01 PM

I quit for 3 weeks, but everyone around me demanded I start back up. .... I get a little moody.

yep we have the same thing here, they need a 18+ designated area for people to smoke in, soon they are going to ban it in bars also. i cant wait, smoking is fucking retarted, i am the only second person out of my main group not to smoke.

Good luck, wish I could quit the nasty habit. A jogger for years and still light one. Asked a doctor once why I could run 10-12 miles with average of 8 minutes per mile and he laughed saying you are using different air passages and don't let it fool you. Wish I was smart enough or had the will power to take his advice.

Juicy D. Links · 12-30-2004, 06:03 PM

Rick if i see a Cigarette in your hand and you are smoking , ill bitch slap you. SMOKING IS BADDDDDDDDDD

tony286 · 12-30-2004, 06:05 PM

why dont u get a patch or nicotine gum to help. There is no shame in using tools .

imageman · 12-30-2004, 06:07 PM

I am going to make you guys an offer. Any of our affiliates that live, work, travel to or visit San Diego in 2005 and truly want to give up smoking. Busty-Bucks.com has an arrangement with a brand new company offering a laser therapy that has been 85% effective in Canada and the UK for more than 20 years. They just received permission to start treating clients via an IRB in the USA and its the first dedicated clinic in San Diego. The normal cost is $379.00 but our affiliates get the treatment for $229.00 until the end 2005. A $150.00 discount to B-B affiliates!

I hear they are opening up all over the USA in 2005 - 2006 so everyone should be able to get nicotine free if they really want to. Its completely pain free no drugs and takes less than 30 mins.

I hear that....we've got three of us in this house...so, quitting has to be simultaneous.

I heard you went to Whistler...did you have fun? It's so beautiful up there.

Screaming · 12-30-2004, 09:49 PM

bring lots of gum and try to think in your head that you hate the smell and how much better it is to quit

pornguy · 12-30-2004, 10:12 PM

Rick. I know you dont know me, but from someone who loster their father to the death sticks, I have to say that I am proud of you. That is a tuff thing to stop, and you have done well. If you can make it through that, then you will make it all the way. Good luck.

baddog · 12-30-2004, 10:19 PM

If it helps, they don't allow smoking in the convention centers now.

SleazyDream · 12-31-2004, 12:29 AM

congrats on going this long rick

Bobbi Doll · 12-31-2004, 12:36 AM

I tried it thru a company called Freedom Laser. It worked... I mean I was able to quit and all for 3 months or so, but then I started back again. I can't tell if the laser really helped me to quit or not though. I've always been able to quit without a problem. I have pretty strong willpower. The only thing that gets me smoking again is that I have to have a cigarette when I drink.
