NO SMOKING!

      WTF?  Sea-Ray, lets try to be real. Don't attack kaynight and try to stay on-topic. Are you a smoker? Maybe this is how you deal with withdrawals. I kind of took a break from trying to stop. I'm tired. Don't get me wrong, I didn't get worse, but I didn't get any better either. I'm still at 5-6 cigs a day, and NO I didn't finish reading the book Marco. I just wanna concentrate on my suscesses. I've cut back 3 quarters of a pack a day. I did a CAT scan of my lungs last week. There we're a couple of small spots, but they said, I have a "low probability" of cancer based on the size of the spots. I'm not Superman, it just gonna take a little longer than I thought. They'll do a follow up CAT scan every year to monitor the size of those spots. @dvdinjp; I've heard that rubber band thing. Its worked for plenty of people.

Either Marco wrote that book or he has shares in it...

Read it Joseph, read it... Look into my eyes, look into my eyes

    Its a good book Red-Lady. Its helped millions of people.                                    http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0615482155

   Agreed macmillan. My blood just needs oxegen. When I get that, I'll feel better about doing push-ups and drumming and probably everything else.

Nuttynutty, why are you so prone to judge how useful are other people's aportations? As I've mentioned before, Ronald (or RoCoJo as they call him on the top of Eiffel Tower) was bringing this topic ages ago in another thread, and I leave my thoughts about it there. Not much, since I don't have any experience about it, but still something. He even was apologizing the OP for "hijacking" his thread. Are you expecting me to write a book about the topic?

Here I told a simple anecdote, and not as you remember it.

Oh, yes, how embarrassing!

    Wow  6 weeks and I haven't updated this heh  Well, I was stuck at 5 cigs a day for over a month, and then my numbers started rising-8, 9. Then I ran out of patches. The V.A. gave me some more, but these are stronger. 14mg, instead of 7. I'm back down to 5, shooting for 4, 3?  this week.                                                                                                                               

I have been smoke free for 14 years. (I have never smoked)

I've been smoke free for 15 years! boom!

Me too!

Yesterday was my best day yet, 3 cigs  How do like THEM apples Chess.com?

keep going Ron, you will get there.

I've been smoke free for 13 years yay!

Not sure thats the most helpful advice here, Time machines are of very limited supply.

lol

Did you get that from Wiki or out of a Christmas Cracker?

Oooops! it seems as easy to stop to smoke than to explain Minautaurus how to block someone, dude. Good news, he did it! oufffff ! heavy weight , i told him" red button" lol!

Truth : on his thread 5 days before, in French, i explained him how to do !!! It is good to be in Kiribati too.

Back to the topic : 

i am happy to tell since 6 1/2 months I didn' touch one mmmmmg of tobacco. 64 years old ! I won't suggest any book of course, I throw mine to garbage,'cause I know it entirely, and don't need it. 

I totally changed my way of living, sport culture, piano more, enjoyeable life, fired a lotta parasites people, and each time i think "cig" it is to be happy with it UN-lighted, and disgusted with it LIGHTED. That the secret !

each time i cross a smoker I do again same experience: he gives me a cig, i smell UN-lighted, then ask if i can do what I want. he says yes, i give it back to him on condition he is going to bathroom and throws it and pull water. It works each time, incredible. but i don't bother you anymore on this thread, the important is not to succed, it is to try says Pierre de Coubertin. With Petitbonom wisdom and my friends k and k you got it. Bravo !
