Killing the vice...

[Dustin]

I have gone 4 days now without smoking one ciggarette....

can I possibly keep it up? Will I stay off the stick for good?

This is not a new years resolution, but rather because I was sick witha horrible cold for three days, and everytime I would light up, I would get sicker, coughing, like I was barfing up a lung. So, I decided to lay off.... and here we are, four days latter, and I'm feeling good, and have no cravings.

I've been smoking for almost 10 years now....will I make it as a smoke-free person? we shall see.

who want's to place bets on how much weight I'll gain, and/or if I'll start up again?

I've been smoke-free for over a year now. Well, almost... I did have one at a bar in early December, which served to make me realise that frankly, I don't need it any more. Can't say I feel much better, in all honesty, but I have absolutely no idea how I'd afford it if I were to take it back up!

Best of luck to you, Dustin. This limey knows what it's like!

9 days and counting..... so far so good!

I actually feel pretty good, and for some reason... my wallet feels a bit heavier! From the day I quite, I had no cravings, until last night at 2am.

I kept dreaming I was smoking... I woke up several tiems, and each time I feel asleep, I would dream about smoking! I woke up wht the "smokers hack" as well!!!

how bizarre!

Hey Dustin!

Keep the great work! And just 'cause you don't smoke doesn't mean you can't out front the Granada Suites!

BTW, the new cover looks cool! I look forward to hearing some more Kat V! Cool banner you got here too!

Happy New Year!!

Later!

 

[JazzMX5]

When a craving hit, I just found something else to do - read, cook, play a game, go online, whatever - and it faded literally within a minute or two. (Just for God's sake don't grab a beer, we all know how well beer & ciggies go together, it'll just make you want one more.)

Now I can't remember when my last actual craving was. Don't think I've had one in a over a month at least. It's like I never smoked or something. I think I've had it easier than most, and I still smoked for, what was it, like nearly eight years or something.

Well done so far, Dustin! It does get easier all the time, trust me.

I've been smoking about that long as well... it's funny, I didn't start smoking until after High School, and taht's when most people start! I can agree... when I'm drinking, I have a hell of a time with the cravings! they co together like chocolate and peanut butter!

That great to hear Dust. Keep it up dude!!!Talk to you soon bro

Awesome on the no smoking doode! Mangina will be much happier, and prettier.....lol
If I quit smoking, I'd leave a trail of dead bodies. I almost killed someone after 4 days of not smoking. Literally! Things suck around here lately BUT I may make it to Lansing...We'll have to wait & see.....I will be in Atlanta, even if I have to walk!

Good for you, Dustin! Good luck with kicking the stick.

 

[ChicKenKiLLER]

Hey ya Dustin.....Its the mailman here....I smoked for 7 years before deciding to try and quit..Im a big time beer drinker so that was a real bitch! I finally did manage to stop but it took time....I do still have a smoke every now and then say every other 3 months or so..but the craving is gone...It just takes the body getting use to not having nicotine...You'll be fine bro...keep it up..

 

[Rick Pierpont]

Yeah, how's it going these days with the no smoking dude?

Congrats on the Chicago show!

 

[Dustin]

@ Rick: thanks again my brotha'!

The new album? hmmm.. we should have some more solid news on that beast at the begining of April before Chicago. we ran ino a very slight delay, but nothing major.

So far I'll sum it up in three words: Thick, Hooks, Competative.

Cheers!
