Bad Habits

[Jack Tarlin]

If my calendar is right, I just hit 100 days on my efforts to quit smoking.

As far as I recall, this is the longest I've gone since I started, back in college, which was during the McKinley administration.

Just wanted to tell you guys out there that if I can do this, ANYONE can (there are people who've known me for years who've told me they can't EVER recall seeeing me without a Camel in my hand or mouth).

Best of luck and best wishes to anyone making similar attempts to change their lives for the better!

And on that note, I think I'll go have a smoke!

(Um, nope!)

[Cannibal]

Wow, Congrats Jack! I'm still working on a tobacco habit; I know it ain't easy to kick. Great job!

[mlkelley]

Jack, if I may ask, did you just go cold turkey? Any helpful advice to a 23 year, 2+ packs a day smoker.

I'll come. And won't even talk politics. I'm truly pleased Jack. I know it is not easy. I never was a heavy smoker. But it still took three years.

And I had special incentives. I had pretty much lost my voice. And a friend was dying of throat cancer, and still couldn't quit. I just decided to see if it was possible. It was.

Weary

As a lover of fine tobacco in the form of pipe smoking, I can understand the allure of the humble nicotene plant. It had somethng to do with my hands, something burning like an incense stick, and the rich smell of burning pipe tobacco. I sure don't pack the pipe and pouch now, though.

I knew a homeless guy in Boone NC and we'd hang out together on the sidewalk. He was a chain smoker. I asked him what's the longest he went trying to quit. He said about 20 minutes.

If it has been 100 days I would say you've got it whipped. I just hope quitting doesn't make you grouchy! Seriously, congratulations!

[Smile]

Way to go, good news is nice to read on here

[A-Train]

Congrats on continued progress and good health! This gives me hope and should do the same for you. Maybe you can one day resist the temptation to respond to some assinine political posts here

Keep up the good work. I'll have a smoke in your honor tonight!
