Now that's a goal worth waiting for.
those betting under an hour already lost!
Did she at anytime mention "GRADS for Moderator"?
I'll buy it! Hell yes, I can finally be a mod.
I agree. He should just do it, leave us out of it and let others around him tell about his successes.I think it is time to let RD not respond anymore on this thread.
Just update us in the next day, week and month if it still is working, so we aren’t tracking your status hourly.
Can’t remember which member had the purchase how long RD lasts without a smoke bet going
I bought her a pretty bitchin FerrariNo, it was my understanding that @Gelcoater paid her more than you and she said "Fuck Grads"
she used a little tough love, told him to "sack up dude, grab life by the balls and just stop smoking".... so now he walks around with his hand down his pants grabbing life by the balls. haha
. (WTF? I don’t give a shit it’s working)

. Being honest I would have bet on the one day square. Dave would something like this work on a soda addiction?It’s interesting to read other people’s stories of both success and failure. It’s also interesting to hear how some people found it easy with chantix, and others with xyz method.
The one thing I have taken most from the thread is there are different types of smokers and different types of fixes to quit smoking and you have to find one that works for yourself personally.
I tried Wellbutrin and failed.
I tried patches and failed. (Many times)
I tried cutting back and failed (many times)
I tried cold turkey and failed (many times)
I was going to go for chantix, but tried this before I got the drug prescribed.
All yesterday afternoon I didn’t even want a cigarette. The thought of them crossed my mind, but I wasn’t climbing out of my skin.
When I got home it kind of set in, I suppose because of routines where I always smoked? There was quite a few times where I’d say to myself “I’m going to go smoke” but I just looked at my red shirt, and said I’m a non smoker and more or less just pushed through it.
This morning I walked out to my truck and the cigarette smoke from Kathleen smoking in the backyard didn’t smell very good to me. It kind of punched me in the face when I walked out of the garage to be honest.
I have been in and out of my truck four times now and haven’t smoked or even really desired one. I’m down at a health center and a guy just walked in and he smells like a smoker to me.. lol. Kind of bizarre saying that shit being that even yesterday I wouldn’t have noticed?
It’s still pretty early on to say I’m 100% done. I think anyone that has gone through quitting and struggled can tell you how it can be day to day, hour to hour, or even sometimes minute to minute. What I will say is this has been, of the different methods I have tried in the past l, the easiest way so far and I was telling Stacy I don’t even think I was ever hypnotized.. lol. Who knows?
Every time the thought comes into my head I just change the subject.. and every time I get some kinda craving I just look at my red shirt.
Day 2. And I’m not going nuts or banning anyone so I’d say that’s worth 500.00
Or a boating addiction....oh damn I'm getting banned. LOL
masturbation?

Ok going to follow this closely
You said it RD in the last part of your statement. Keep that thought and don't give into temptations or urges or whatever. You are stronger then you know you are if you put your mind to it. The brain is the most powerful part of the body!
The third day is the worst. Get by that and it's a slow crawl down hill Not saying it's over but at this point pick-up tooth picks or straws and chew or suck on the straws, It keeps your'e hands busy and makes the mind think it's smoking. Hang in their bud you can kick this and look back and wonder why you ever picked up smoking in the first place. MIt’s interesting to read other people’s stories of both success and failure.

Learning to have fun with out drinking took a while. Drinking I was the life of the party not drinking I was angry and anxious. But like you said once you get over that hump and realize you don’t need to drink to have fun it pays off. While everyone is drinking making a fool of themselves I sit back and watch. For me my big thing now is if I’m not sober who’s taking care of my family if something goes down. I need to have all my senses to make sure I’m in control. Then there’s the hang overs. I’m up at 6 am feelin great while the rest of the crew is trying to figure out where they are and what happened.
Being an adult is tough
don’t give up Dave, you can still get it done, I know you can.
Are you saying you fell off the wagon already? If so then jump back on and beat this thing. You have more support than most people so you should have a better chance than most.
