Drink more than I should. Going to try to give up both. Did I say try? I mean I am giving up both.
Kidney dialaysis (sp?) is no joke either!
Thanks Bear!
Good Luck Guys!!!
Jack: Take Donna off that list. She smoked today. I am so pissed. Emphysemia killed her mother and a few others in her family have it. She has had quite a few throat surgeries already. She was ready Sunday, but I wanted to wait and quit with the Madjacks gang. Guess she will quit when she's ready!
Im telling you, rent this movie, it will help with the motivation factor.

Bear, thanks for taking the time to encourage us, it helps a great deal.
I have done well so far. I am using the 4mg nicorette gum. The only problem I am experiencing is a very bad headache, could possibly be the gum, I don't know.
I'm very much committed to this so keep it up gents, we are almost through the roughest day.

Here is my plan ..... as i posted in a different thread, today is the day i quit, not yesterday. I have 10 cigarettes left After i pick up my daughter from chorus practice tonight, i am giving the car keys to my dad and telling him NOT to give them back to me until tomorrow morning, no matter WHAT!!!!!! (i'll be damned if i'm gonna walk/bike to a store just for a smoke!!!) .... at about 7:00 i'm gonna start drinking and knowing that i don't have any smokes or any easy way to get them, i'm gonna drink HEAVILY.... figure the earlier i pass out the easier night one is gonna be...LOL.
I've never stopped before without wearing a patch (and do still have 10 around here than aren't outdated yet) ....but my goal is to NOT keep nicotine going into my system, because THAT doesn't help break the actual addiction any faster!!! no gum, no patches this time....THAT is my goal, if it ain't cold turkey i know i'll start again as long as there is noone around that gives me the will power to quit for good!!!
Will be back in tomorrow looking for the same support others got on day one!! about 6 more hours until i'm a FORMER smoker!!! (i do have the jar ready to sniff tho)

i've had many urges today but it's not as bad as i thought it would be either.
i gave up the drinking too until memorial day just so i don't get the urge when i'm buzzed. drinking always leads back to the cigarettes.
keep up the good work, folks!
God Bless ya TJ and "Go get em"
I know all about the kidney failure, dialysis,the yellow skin (jaundice), and the failing organs....It's not a fun way to go out!
I really don't wanna preach but when I see people talking about getting drunk and the excessive drinking.....I think of my friends, now gone, my family members and how they went and wish I could share the experiences with some of those bravado drinkers.
Not my biz though....Good luck to you!
Also TJ.............keep strong and I'll bet Donna joins ya...if not today then tomorrow or soon.......its very tough..don't be disappointed
My best

No, you gotta decide you dont want to smoke anymore for all the right reasons and do it. None of this other BS will stick and you know it. Just quit, you have kids for fuk sake why is it so hard to take care of yourself for them? Not being rude just saying, from an unbiased position(kinda) enough is enough either quit or dont. Yea you can make it a day or 2 if you get drunk and dont leave the house but what about when you do? Or when something stresses you out? You gonna have just 1? I say you will start up again immediately so how you like that? Pissed? Good so prove me wrong!
Day #1 is over for me. Patch on and off to bed. Was off today and have to work tomorrow.
Good Luck Team!!!!!!
:nono: Smoking!!!!

okay, I drank three beers and am really really fightin it.
I might have to try the butts in some water. I'm not doing the patch or gum.
Man, it comes and goes. Then comes again.
