I started smoking about 20 years ago. In those 20 years, I've attempted to stop at least 5-6 times. No matter how long I've gone without, I always come back to it. I think it goes back to what a counselor said at a Smoking Cesstation (sp?) my job sponsored a few years go. In order to overcome an addiction, you have to WANT to quit it psychologically and commit to it. And that's just it - I don't think that I truly WANT to quit.
I'm with Sean at this point. I quit trying to quit. I used to say I'm in between quitings but I'm only kidding myself. The one thing I WILL NOT EVER DO is smoke in front of my kids. I never smoke in the house or around my kids.

I applaud you for that Grumpy. Children should never need to walk around looking down at the floor all the time to make sure there not stepping on a hot cigarette. :-D

So the thing that made me not want to smoke for the past year was cycling. I was riding my bike around 1,000 miles a month. Then, winter hit, and I haven't ridden in a few months. So I think that the lack of that distraction has caused my mind to wander.

Quote:Sherlock Holmes was a coke addict.
Actually... wasn't it Heroine?

I'm pretty sure it was Opium, Magus...just like everyone else in England at that time, they got it real cheap from India...ahhhhh...without opium, we'd never have Alice in Wonderland either

Ran a quick check...
Dent was correct... I thought it was Heroine because I remembered the needle and the puncture marks, forgot the explanation though. I was mistaken, sorry.
Quote:The Sign of Four opens with an alarming scene:
Sherlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantel-piece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined arm-chair with a long sigh of satisfaction.
A little later in the story Holmes states,
"It is cocaine," he said, "a seven-per-cent solution. Would you care to try it?"

If I remember correctly, I think you are supposed to replace those "wanting to smoke-type" habits with other behaviours........kind of like behavior modification therapy.
Quitting smoking is really tough. They (doctors) say it is easier to kick a heroine habit than it is to quit smoking.

Quote:Pack of cigs is up to what? $3.00 now?:roflmao: try $5.80 and that's why i need to quit, just as soon as i use up all my free coupons...
05-03-2002, 08:39 PM
Holy Crap!! I'm annoyed to break over 4.80!! ...... somehow, $5 seems too much, until they go up again, then $6 will be too much.... and so it goes.
