I quit smoking about 5 mintues ago. lol and i'm for real this time. After hearing some news... while having my last smoke... I realize that at my age, i'm not super man, never was, should never have thought i was... and shit will just come out and kick you in the balls.

I'm going to be losing sleep... i programed myself in college to smoke one right before bed... I'll be moody and a real pain in the ass for a while. Live with it, go with the flow, slap me if i'm out of hand... do not feed me alcohol... since thats what got me into smoking and please dont let me smoke... dont offer... yell at me if i try to get my hands on one... i need to quit for real... not just inbetween smokes.

Its going to make this weekend a kick in the pants. for all those working early on friday... keep me away from the smokers please. for all those racing... please bare with an even more hot headed tech inspector. oh and you might want to tell your class reps/leaders... "the tech inspector just quit smoking... becareful." I'm going to be basically detoxing all weekend... its going to suck... i'm bringing a bottle of advil for the headaches i know i'm going to get. oh and i'd keep all bull horns away from me too...

on a side note, who wants to ride to woodbridge by 7am tomorrow morning (that has their M) and ride with me to summit... i'm going to need something to get my blood flowing... i think i need to be on the Yamaha patch to get past the smoking.

I fail to understand what has changed?

You'll do fine, just keep telling yourself this is what you want.

while i'm all for your cold turkey health kick, i think this is poor timing. if i were you, i'd start this on monday or tuesday and say goodbye to your old cancer stick friends one last time this weekend. it'll be especially stressful with stunnas everywhere for hyperfest, us drinking, a possible vixens trip, etc. but seriously, kudos on the effort

while i understand where you are coming from Brian... you have to realize that i need to quit... no matter what. booze'n it, vixxens trips, hizzyfest, all taken into consideration... it needs to stop. I'll go to vixxens, chill for a bit... but i doubt i'll party late into the night... tech opens at 6/7am sat/sun. and if i can make it through this weekend, of all weekends... i can prove to myself that i just dont need them. stress or no stress...

that is exactly how people fail quitting. "oh just one last one."

kaan, good luck. in no time you'll be feeling/smelling better than ever. i'd recommend finding a nice girl and substituting that smoke before bed with sex before bed.

Oh great, what a wonderful new roommate I'm going to have.

J/K man, good luck with this, you'll be in a house of non-smokers and we'll be more than happy to kick you in the ass should you even go near a cig.

Sweet dude, good call. Think of all the money you'll save too =)

Stick with it, use the patch or gum or whatever needed to help too.... if you're really struggling.
