Show is over. Batten down the hatches: first day of not smoking
 

almost down the drain.

But not without a fight. I caught a break when I saw a pack of smokes on the counter but they turned up empty. In order to go down to the circle k to get a pack it would require a kayak.

I took some nicorrete gum. All is good.

Anyone else want to join me in quitting since the show is over?

Been there and done that too many times...Just smoke :pimp

Hahahahaha...

good luck you will lengthen your life

I don't want to lengthen my life, in fact, I took refuge in the fact that smoking might shorten it (I am afraid of old age); but, I don't like the way it makes me feel.

Just before I quit I read this article that said that the average "nicotine fit" lasts 10 seconds. So...when you are dying for a cigarette....get up...take a 10 or 20 second walk...breathe deeply. At the end of the 20 seconds you can handle things again.

Seems over the first few days doing this I convinced myself that I would only be bothered by it for 10 seconds and it didn't feel "forever" so I was able to handle the quitting ....10 seconds at a time.

This was the first show that I didn't smoke a single cig. It was a nice feeling:) Good luck!

I am worried that not-smoking may take away from my bad boy image that I have worked so hard to maintain.

Stay strong!!! Don't give in....your bad boy will still be there (you just may not cough as much) as a non-smoker. Guys that don't smoke are so much sexier!

Maybe get a parrot for your shoulder to make up for it? ;)


Good for you. And good luck with it.

It will make you stronger, ive quit for 4 months now cold turkey and I really dont want to smoke ever again. :thumbsup

I'm on my 6th day :( :(

Best of luck Cory!

:thumbsup

It's been almost 8 months smoke free for me.

:)

Gained back 25lbs, but feel so much better and don't smell like a fuckin' cigarette all the time!

:winkwink:

Getting through Vegas was easy too. I'm just done, bro!

:2 cents:

those quest ciggs work, they have no nicotine. good luck.

I have always wondered about those things......I think I would feel strange smoking them....you use them?

Keep it up man. Life is GOOD once you get past the cigs... :thumbsup

I used the patch a few months ago and it worked well, no nic fits at all :)

Good luck man ... stay active! let us know how you do :thumbsup

LOL :1orglaugh

hey, thanks 4 the tip, im gonna do it. :thumbsup

That is a great way to look at it.

I hate the fits, I get really irritable. I have the gum for backup and it seems to work.

good luck.

Trash cans the world over thank you for not smoking, Cory.

Hey Cory........... just wishing you luck. REMEMBER smoking causes impotence in the long run! and you are much more attractive without a cig in hand. Just go get your nipples pierced or a tattoo to keep up that bad boy image !

Im on day 6 right now, heres what you have to look forward to:

Getting TOO MUCH oxygen to your brain and your blood sugar levels being all fucked up. From day 3 until I have yet to figure out when, you get to spend entire days staring at inanimate objects and drooling on yourself while absolutely NOTHING goes on inside your head..

It's fucking bad too, you'll be sitting there.. staring at the led on your monitor or something and realize you have to piss, you get up and start walking, by the time your in the bathroom you're wondering what the fuck you wanted in here.. so you brush your teeth.. head back to where you were and realize you have to piss.

Im SOOOO goddamn tempted to go get a pack not because of any urges to smoke but so I can stop feeling like a belong in the special olympics.

P.s. You'd be shocked to find out how long it took to type the above out while battling my mind as it keeps wandering off to who the fuck knows what.

I have the tattoos. Does this mean we are going to make out at the next show?

The ADD is terrible. I agree with the "walking somewhere and then wondering why..."
