Then you just need to go ahead and quit. If the yo-yos here at BYOAC (myself included) can do it, then how hard can it be?

He can't just quit breathing.

Breaths... betcha can't take just one.

1hookedspacecadet,

if you cant, i highly suggust going to your doctor, quitting smoking and constantly checking the health of your lungs.

its your life, take it in your own hands.

Stingray · « **Reply #44 on:** November 14, 2005, 03:25:51 pm »

So what's the deal. Did Bones have a nicotine fit and flip out & kill somebody or what?

You'd be surprised how much better you feel if you did.

RetroJame....dammit, STICK WITH ONE NAME!

1hooked, in case you haven't realized it yet, Stingray's hitting on you, and we'd all rather that he kept these kinds of questions private between himself and you.

Oh, and Bones, here in America, we've come up with a STELLAR invention. If you ask real nice, I'll pick up a case or twelve of these for you and send them in trade for Mrs. Bones

Bones?

Yeah I was thinking the same. He posted this thread, then dropped off the face of the planet.

ChadTower · « **Reply #50 on:** November 16, 2005, 10:05:59 am »

Maybe he took my advice and used his savings to hit the nudie bar.

patrickl · « **Reply #51 on:** November 16, 2005, 10:06:54 am »

Or he stopped smoking by stopping to inhale ...

Scott84 · « **Reply #54 on:** November 16, 2005, 05:27:47 pm »

Maybe hes so stressed to stop smoking, he smoked till he passed out.

Jabba · « **Reply #55 on:** November 16, 2005, 09:13:23 pm »

I can't believe he isn't reading the forum. He must be using an alternate user name (I checked Jessica and that one hasn't been active either).

That or.....

He's really quit and super stressed as Scott suggests and associates BYOAC with smoking that he can't stand to come here without triggering relapse.

Hey, its a guess, what else do ya want?

xonix_digital · « **Reply #56 on:** November 16, 2005, 10:14:23 pm »

I had to substitute one raging addiction with another.

Maxwell house is much less expen$ive!

I am a born substance abuser, up until a couple of days ago it was ciggarettes, coffee, and alcohol (which is ok cause I'm only 21).

Now I am a coffee fanatic, and caffiene makes me feel good for a change. Butts made me feel like ass.

bosss7 if he doesn't show up soon you may have to go on a road trip to check on him

Bones · « **Reply #58 on:** November 21, 2005, 01:32:51 am »

OK, OK..... Smoke update.

Although I am doing my best not to think about it because today has been the toughest day so far with the cravings doing their best to send me insane, but I am pleased to announce that today is smoke-free day number 9.

No cigga's, no pot and I have had at least three drinking sessions so far and have resisted the incredible urges.

I shall purchase the finest cigar $2 can procure tomorrow in celebration of your success. This, I can do, because it's been at least 3 weeks since I last had one, and at least a month and a half before THAT one.

I haven't "earned" the right to smoke it, only regulated my intake so as to help YOU out. I hope you appreciate my efforts to help you stop and/or celebrate.

Carry on.

I might have to forumite in Drew's mouth.

that'll lurn him real good

Stingray · « **Reply #63 on:** November 21, 2005, 10:42:14 am »

Glad you're sticking with it. I assumed that some guy tried to bum a smoke off you and you ended up in prison after the cops were able to gather up enough of the poor guy's body to make a positive ID.

Bones · « **Reply #64 on:** November 21, 2005, 10:48:49 am »

In actual fact it has been much easier than I expected. This could be a positive sign that the time to give up is right for me.

Of course now you have bumped this thread I am having a massive craving all over again.

Harry Potter · « **Reply #65 on:** November 21, 2005, 10:52:55 am »

There's the cheesecake thread. Crave something more fun.

I made this for MC when he quit. It's the official Marlboro brand iron lung.

That's what I do. I'm what's called a "troubleshooter".

Bang. I went out and picked up a few new additions to the humidor. When I got back home, I realized I may have to put all projects on hold and build myself a humidor. Meh. Smoke 'em if ya gots 'em, I always say

missioncontrol · « **Reply #69 on:** November 23, 2005, 09:14:18 am »

Bones now that you are smoke free you really need to replace that keyboard.

Bones · « **Reply #70 on:** November 23, 2005, 09:24:02 am »

I was hoping this thread would not be bumped. I am ashamed to say I fell of the wagon today.

But now it is time to go to bed and tomorrow is a new day to start all over again.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #71 on:** November 23, 2005, 09:26:58 am »

Damn dude.....

But hey, we are still rooting for you to kick the habbit.

I hope you destroy that pack and try it again.

It really is a willpower thing, that's all there is to it.

And if you're having a REALLY bad day, or you're stressed out, (or you're drinking) your willpower turns to crap and you lose grip on it.

The only way I was able to quit was to stop drinking for a few weeks. Then, I told my friends and girlfriend no matter what, under no circumstances give me a cigarette when I go out, and if I do you can punch me in the face.

That kept me from smoking when I went out. eventually, you'll *mostly* lose the cravings. They do come back from time to time, but after a year or so, cigarettes will probably taste like ASS if you try to smoke one (I broke down a year later and had about 2 puffs. That was the end of that )..

Good luck. I know how tough it is and commend anyone who is really working at it.

Just remember how serious you were when you typed this:

man I gotta quit, I don't feel like I can get a full breath anymore. ugh.

Stay strong you fell off once now you know how bad it feels to fall...

when you try to quit again remember this.............

now you have to start all over again from day 1. it's not like you can insert a quarter and press player 1 to continue.

you have to start the game from the first level and overcome all the obsticles that you had to overcome to make it as far as you did.

It won't get any easier the next time. put them down and leave them down

you can do it and you want to do it other wise you wouldn't have started this thread.

now go and make us proud.............

DrewKaree · « **Reply #75 on:** November 23, 2005, 03:18:19 pm »

Dude, you're telling me I can't have my cigar for you now? You emmer effer! I don't care....I'm just gonna pretend you NEVER said any of that stuff, and smoke it anyhoo. I never knew you sucked on so many levels. Keep trying, you've got about half the levels I do, but you might catch up if you just stick with it
