Today was good. I got so busy that I didn't even have time for lunch, let alone think about smoking. Everything went wrong today, and keeping my mind on getting everything done as efficiently as possible helped me forget about cigarettes. All in a day's work in the fast paced world of...

Not every situation is the same. Not every driver or rider is the same. I think he reacted properly, I would've probably done the same. A little blip on the throttle and you're ahead of the danger. If he had tried to brake, I think would would've ate asphalt. And car.

You don't need to avoid smokers, you just need to avoid drinking around them. Also, good friends will smoke less around you out of respect. You can't demand it, but if they respect your decision they'll back off a little bit.

Gee, thanks for rubbing it in! lol! I think some of us are just wired to have addictive tendencies. Whether it's something we're born with vs something we learn is a whole other conversation.

I really appreciate the all the comments. I'm now worried that if I eventually dislike the smell of smoke, I won't be able to go to Vegas anymore. Today will be somewhat of a test. I smoke mostly when I drive, so I've been avoiding driving. My office is 5 min from my house so that's not much...

I've tried e-cigs and I really don't like them. A friend of mine imports and brands them so I didn't even have to pay for mine. They taste like ass and hurt the throat more than actual cigarettes. Saving money is good incentive. I would love a duc, but I'm not experienced enough yet. With...

Thank you. Did you find it any harder after you stopped using the patch?

Thanks! That is pretty much what happened last time. I had quit for almost 3 months and figured some single malt and a cigar with some friends wouldn't hurt. Within a week I was back to a pack a day. Note to self: don't listen to self.

lol I made my wife promise not to leave me. She said "don't worry, I'll be extra c*nty!" Gawd I love her! I gotta say, reading some of your comments are making me feel better than I thought. Thanks GTAM!

I just got my truck detailed, so it's already clean. I'm going to the in-laws cottage the first week of September, which could be either really good or really bad. I think mentally I need the patch. I've tried to quit before and the closest I got was with the patch.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to take it 1 day at a time. My only motivation at the moment is that I want kids and don't want to have any as a smoker. It's hard to be around non smokers because most of my friends smoke. I know I can do it, I kind of just made this thread just to vent.

I've been a smoker since I was 14, and I am now 31. This is my 3rd smoke-free day and even with the patch I get the urge to punch people. Any ex-smokers have any tips to keep me from ending up in jail? I was addicted to other things when I was younger and surprisingly this is a harder habit...

Everything you said makes perfect sense to me.

But...why?
