I quit smoking! I quit smoking! I quit smoking!
Now I’m going to be insufferably smug and may take up slapping cigarettes out of people’s hands (just the ones I think I can outrun)
I quit smoking! I quit smoking! I quit smoking!
<rushes up to shake BGo’s hand>
Don’t back down now! I’ve been clean 3 1/2 years now. E-mail me if you need support, I know how hard it is.
Are you using anything, or going cold turkey?
Congratulations! Me too! Feb 7/2000 and I don’t ever want to smoke again.
Good! By the way, once you stop smoking, you find you can outrun most people who do. Don’t ever start again!

Now quickly go out and thank whoever invented the fire extinguisher!
Go you!!! Congratulations!
I’m working on my sixth smoke-free month now and I’m really starting to feel the benefits.
Hey, good for you! Smoking is one of those things where I figured it was easier to not start than it would be to quit, so I’ve never been a smoker. But my mom died of lung cancer 14 years ago, and my father is currently in the late stages of emphysemia, and he still smokes! So I know how painful/harmful the effects can be.
I think it’s great that you stopped!
That it AWSOME! I have seen people who try to quit and it looks hard. (i don’t and won’t smoke). Keep it up and never give in!
BGo congratulations! The first little while is the hardest. I have just pasted my year mark and it was the best decision I have made. It is tough, but remember a craving only lasts for like three minutes. Just find something else to do for that time, and it will pass.
Good luck!
Congratulations. Now with all the money you’re saving, send me some so I can buy the patch!
I figured out how many cigarettes I smoked a day, which scared the hell out of me, so I bought some nicotine gum to help me over the hardest parts and I haven’t looked back! I’m determined never to start again, mostly because I’m not going through this again.
I’m going for a cigarette break. While I’m out, ponder this: why is it that at parties, most of the interesting people are out in the garden smoking?
good on ya, keep it up.
I quit last August, afgter being on them for about 12 years.
went cold turkey
it was fine.
good luck!
Gratz, BGo! You will be amazed how much better food and beer taste… How wonderful things smell… How much easier it is to walk stairs, exercise, etc. You rock!
I think I had my last cig in August of last year. I didn’t smoke much last year at all but MAN just one smoke would cause me to hock up some seriously nasty loogies the next day. El Hubbo quit right before Thanksgiving week. I’m so happy for him.
The thing that sucks about quitting is how low your tolerance becomes for smoke. I hate coming home from a restaurant with clothes and hair smelling like smoke. We’ve become so sensitive to it that we’re going to try to find a smoke-free cruise next year.
Quitting smoking? Feh. I do it every night when I go to bed. It’s a snap!
I haven’t had a cigarette in four months. I’m still not brave enough to announce to the world that I’ve quit. I still want one. Less often than before, but still daily. The urge becomes less and less over time, but I thought that after 4 months it would be gone. I’ll yell from the rooftops when it’s a year. Until then, it’s a daily battle.
Man, I’m a fuddydud.
Congrats BGo!! I just past my 5th smoke free month on St. Pattys day. I never thought I could go out to bars and not think about smoking. Amazingly I can. Keep it up.
However, please don’t be one of those annoying ex-smokers or nonsmokers. Realize the fact that anyone who smokes will smoke until they decide to quit. Nagging them and destroying/flicking their cigs will only aggrivate them. I continued to smoke out of spite many times.
