My hubby is doing fine, I'm not cranky with him, I don't want to make him mad where he won't put out....

Good for all of you that are quitting. Within two weeks the physical cravings will be gone. It's the mental habit that is hard to break. I broke mine by giving my habit to the invisible man in the sky and it never bothered me again. Those of you that are not believers may have a harder time of it. I sincerely wish you all success in quitting. It is a nasty and now expensive habit. Good luck.

96 hours with out a smoke.

Of course the big portion of it is will power.

That, and the fact that cigarettes just lost their appeal. It was getting harder and harder to figure out why I was smoking. When I first started it was for the buzz, then because it gave me something to do on breaks at work, then just because, then because it was counter-cultural (the mindless left abhors smoking, thus it must be a good God given right that should be exercised), then it was just habit, then I heard about taxes, and I'm quitting cause of the money.

I like my money in my own pocket, enough of it gets stolen from me every payday that I'm not eager to give more of it than I have to the government, regardless of what group of brainless bureaucraps are in power.

Though nice thing about quitting, I went and watched a movie (Monster vs Aliens in 3D) and bought some books (fiction) and bought a CD (Shinedown Sound of Madness.) Don't even feel bad about it, and there's no stress. The money that was spent (~$60) is still less than what I would have spent on the two cartons of Camel Wides I would have bought had I not quit.

I've also noticed that I've been feeling more energetic since Friday evening (right after the cravings peaked I started feeling bouncier.) Of course this is a problem as I've now been up for 24 hours.

Camel wides...MMmmm I'm having one right now...

Money

Ah, the advantage of being a greedy son of a bitch, I can do anything for money, including giving up smoking, lol.

Damn Camels don't give coupons either....Marlboro sends me tons of coupons...but bleh. Plus all other cig's now seem tiny in comparison.

Actually, I've gotten cool things from Camel.

A bill fold,
Some collectible boxes of matches
Coupons

That's pretty much it.

I think I still have the bill fold.

I don't know what happened to the matches.

coupons? Hmm...I'll look. Thanx.

out.

marlboro gave my grandma throat cancer once then 5 years after she quit marlboro gave her lung cancer which won her life early to the grave at age 66. my grandpa won emphasima at age 79.
if you gotta have your smoke and taxes are to rediculous why not grow your own. imagine how good you would be after 10 years of growing? your product should at least be decent. there are many places to obtain tobacco seeds on the internet. i am sure there are forums as well were the amateure grower can exchange tips on curing that shit. i hear tobacco is real hard to get it right. you just have to figure it out like someone did before you. wisdom fellas!

yes, well, if you think curing weed is a problem, don't even bother with tobacco.

out.

you'd have to have a really big yard to grow enough tobacco to keep you smoking for an entire year.

I'm sticking with quitting. Today will be a week. I still want to smoke, but I have my stale pack that's been sitting here open for a week, if I break down I'm smoking one of those stale bastards, there's something to make a person quit.

I'm still on the hunt for Chunghwa cig's My British supplier had informed me that he can no longer send them to me... arggh. BAT has sealed it up...

How big of a yard would you actually need for 2 packs a day?

who knows????

I don't know if I'm going to make it you guys. It's been 8 days and of course since I quit cigs, the weed supply instantly dried up and my farthest along plant still has a good week or longer before chopping.

I'm stuck in a perpetual "tomorrow" situation where getting some herb is concerned and that doesn't help at all.

you're only human and made it to your breaking point. nothing wrong with having a smoke to tie you over.
some people can't quit cold and others need the process of slowly quiting.

I say you have done a great job, have a smoke. and see if you can go 15 days before the next smoke. then 20...30days.

the cannabis might be hurting you more then helping. might want to lol stop smoking for awhile

I haven't smoked yet, I'm feeling weak, but I've resisted. I still have that stale pack, just in case I get to that point, I'm going for the nasty stale shit.

the only thing higher prices did for me was convince me to reduce the amount i smoke in order to keep my budget intact. so if they want more of my cigarette tax money they are fucked. the jokes on them stupid fucking morons that they are. sure having to cut back on the amount i smoke isn't easy but at least i can sleep at night knowing that its money they won't get.
