Four and a half days .... still no ciggies

[MonkeyFunk]

The cat has checked into a motel, the dog is hiding in the crawlspace, the SO has suddenly remembered an obligation he has to fulfill about 300 miles away. But still no ciggies....

BTW, Commit lozenges are sorta tasty.

1. Good job!

I'm going on nine years smoke-free.

Hang in there.

[Lex]

2. That's awesome!

One day at a time . . . :thumbsup:

[bettyellen]

3. atta boy funk! you're over the hump now....

i just made 13 months- or about 3K worth of cigarettes. cannot believe i did that for so long. :shrug:
glad it's over.

[MonkeyFunk]

4. good for you!

I'm trying to convince the SO that deserve a kitten if I quit for 3 months. He feels three cats and a dog are already enough. :(

But I haven't had a kitten in years... and the dog wants a baby friend.

[Esra Star]

12. Good work on the cold turkey thing. And yes you don't need any

more menagerie. As a matter of fact you could do
with less. But, one disaster at a time.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. Huh?

On what basis do you conclude I have too many pets?

[Susang]

17. I think you deserve as many kittens as you want!

I don't know anyone who treats their pets better than you! :thumbsup:

[MonkeyFunk]

19. well

to be honest, I DO occasionally tether my dog to my left hand when I go for a walk. I know it's harsh, but I really get a kick out of dominating him.

The cats, though... they pretty much run things around here.

[Susang]

21. You horrible bastard!

I'll bet you make him wear a collar, too! :scared:

[MonkeyFunk]

23. yes

a nice leather one. But it's not anything unseemly- it's purely sexual.

[Susang]

24. I just got my pup a "tough dog" collar

Black leather, with spikes! I know he's always wanted one and I figured at 13, he's probably old enough to wear one. :D

[Esra Star]

26. Calm down. You can have as many sentients as you can handle.

We'll talk later.:hide:

[Susang]

28. How cryptic!

I just love a good mystery! :tinfoilhat:

[MonkeyFunk]

30. well

I don't give a rats arse whether my pets are sentient or not. Of course, I'm from the Pet Rock generation - I'll never forget Mr. Stoney. Best friend a boy ever had...

[CanuckAmok]

18. don't try to spar with him...

first-off, he's gone without cigs and is ready to snap.

secondly, you're distracting him when he should be beating his dog.

And, no, that's not a coloquialism.

[Esra Star]

25. Can his dog beat him at anything?

[MonkeyFunk]

27. Only two things...

farting contests and snoring competitions.

But he sucks at poker. He gets all waggy if he has two pair or better.

[CanuckAmok]

34. And isn't he...

...better at licking your balls than you are?

[bettyellen]

31. okay, for your first anniversary you should get the kitten- she'll agree to that

but you have to tell yourself if you smoke, the kittens history :cry:.
it's cruel, but it works. hey- i only treaed myself to an ipod.!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear MonkeyFunk!

Way to go!

I'm proud of you......

And every day it will lessen its grip on you!

You have taken a huge step towards wellness!

:applause:

:woohoo:

[MonkeyFunk]

6. Thank you

I did quit years ago for over 3 years. Then, after an ugly breakup, I started again. Dumbest thing I'd done in many years. I was quite comfortable not smoking. Now I'm going through all that crap again.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. You WILL do it........

And I think that this time it will stick.....

Since you have that huge negative lesson to remind you of how painful going back is!

:hug:

[Robeson]

8. That's great. Keep up the good work....

....:thumbsup:

[prolesunited]

9. Keep up the good work!

Every day just gets easier

[LiberalAndProud]

10. Congratulations!

but have you lost your mind? Commit losenges taste very very bad.


ugghhh!
yech!!!
bleh!

[MonkeyFunk]

14. mmmmm

cherry flavored!

I used Nicorette before, and THAT tasted like crap.

[Nevernose]

11. My record is 9 days on the lozenges

The things really DO work.

Until you need a place to hide the bodies! :)

Good luck! Soon I'll be making the full "commitment," as opposed to the half-assed one I am now.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. good luck to you, too!

yes, they really help in the extreme situations, and I like it a lot better than the gum.

[Nevernose]

16. The gum makes me angry

Of course, when I'm not smoking, MOST things make me angry!

But, according to everything I've read, your best chance is with NRT, and your best NRT is with the lozenges.

One day at at time, bro: one day at a time.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Good going, MonkeyFunk!

:thumbsup:

[wildhorses]

22. you can do it

:bounce:

[leftofthedial]

29. keep it up

come here to the Lounge and "talk" if you need to.

[likesmountains 52]

32. Congratulations...you will never regret quitting..take lots of baths

or showers too. I don't know why, but that seemed to help me get over the hump a few times.

[SeattleGirl]

36. My daughter has a friend who took epsom salts baths, and that

seemed to help pull the toxins out quicker. I have no scientific evidence to back that up, but hey, it helped this young woman to quit smoking.

[BuelahWitch]

33. Congratulations!!!

But the cat probably just checked into the motel to have wild orgies. They will do that, you know. I hope you don't start smoking again when they send you the bill for the trashed room. :hi:

[helderheid]

35. You can do this. I did 7 years ago.

[datasuspect]

37. quitters never win buddy

yup.
