ScottCM Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 9 months now, just wish my wife would stop too. I even bought her the electronic smoke and she used it 3 times then went back to normal smokes
Wyatt Earp Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Rode at Suikers a few weeks back and while we were parking I saw 2 okes having a pre-ride smoke. I shook my head wondering how the hell anyone can breathe properly climbing around that place with that kind of start. A while later we caught them and they had stopped mid ride for another cigarette, in the middle of the road, smoke blowing across the tar for us healthy folk to inhale. (I had to stop myself from pepper spraying, punching, then trying to moer them with my bike). We carried on, then waited for our wimmen to catch up, so the Gunston gang passed us. The next time we caught them they were both now smoking while riding. Does ones body become so dependent on ciggs that they can't ride without a puff...? One word. SIFF
Ryan Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Six (6) months still thankful everyday that Im free of this. People seem genuinely surprised that I have stopped..especially smokers..almost as if you dont believe that it is possible to quit when you yourself havent decided to do so.. So if you havent yet quit and are this reading this wondering what to do?? I say just GIVE IT UP!!!!! Edited May 30, 2014 by Ryanie fanievb, Vangar, Mojoman and 1 other 4

HappyMartin Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Haven't had a smoke in 14 years. Still crave now and again. My mantra is "never again not even one puff". If I have one puff I will be back to a pack a day within a week. Vangar and Blue Angel 2
bikebefok Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 1 week today! Had a period off the bike and the resultant lack of natural endorphins sent me scurrying back to bad old habits. No more.

Uni Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) and tomorrow is World No Tobacco Day. Well done to all ex smokers ... a hard battle ...just wish my OH would stop too. Edited May 30, 2014 by Uni
Cois Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I smoked for 9years and then just one day decided I was going to quit....... I stopped right there and haven't touched a siggy again. The big thing is. You must WANT to stop.....If keep saying that you want to stop but don't mean it then its of no use. Put your money where your mouth is and just Quit. You'll be grumpy for 2 weeks and then it gets better. believe me the first 2 weeks is the worst...... If you get to 3 months then you are over the hill and if you ever start again after that its because of your lack of self control.Its been said, that since I stopped smoking I'm grumpy and a out right bastard.And days like today will drive me to the little flip top box from oom Peter Stuyvesant extra mild or filter
