I'm going to quit smoking!

[MB104]

Good luck. If you are successful, you will eventually notice an increase of 10-15% improvement in your gas consumption while diving and a reduced chance of DCS. See? There are other advantages to not smoking other than: not spending $5.00 a pack, not smelling like smoke, not having to go outside in all kinds of weather to smoke, withdrawl, not being seen as an outcast (by some), and so on....

I wish you the best of luck. Remember...be STRONG!

well, its day four for me and still doing good! I actually forgot to put on the patch this morning and didnt notice any difference at all. But I think I will continue to wear it just in case. This no smoking thing has got me wanting to get back in shape now. Almity, I actually (maybe mistakenly) signed up for your 7 day x 30 minutes thing also

BTW, please explain the "rooting" thing......

Root: synonym for ****. "I feel rooted"; "this washing machine is rooted"; "(s)he's a good root". A very useful word in fairly polite company.

Root rat : somebody who is constantly looking for sex.

arent you glad you asked

Day 6, I cheated today I got lazy and didnt change my nicotine patch after 24 hours like I was supposed to. I actually waited like 30 hours or so. And it was starting to wear off and I figured that since I was about to put a new one on anyways that I could just smoke one.

Well, I did and almost instantly wanted another one! But I went back inside and put a new patch on and now I feel no need for another. But I am going to use this as a learning experience and not as a fall back. So, I am sure now that that one is my last one ever!!

(p.s. lets keep this a secret )

no big deal .... you're still quitting

six days is very nice progress

if you get the urge to smoke, why not smoke herbal cigarettes? they taste so foul that you'll start associating "smoking" with the foul taste, and you won't be wanting much of that

 

[almitywife]

hiya Dhamp and what a slippery learning slope.... keep faith in those little patches and be vigilant

keep doing your best!!!
