One week here. And doing it cold turkey...

Do I miss them? Hell yes, I miss them. Every little hunger pang feels like a nicotine binge trying to rip out of my body like I was birthing an Alien...

Other than that, no problems...:D
More later,
Tour...

    Tour - I am going to smoke a nice cigar in your honour, keep up the good work ;)

    As long as you don't fall on the kitchen table, and flop around so much that a Camel cigarette comes bursting from your chest....you are ok so far.

    That's amazing Tour! Cold turkey and all...I would have gone postal if so. I haven't had a puff since Dec 30th. The psych. urges were strong, but I managed to tough it out. So far so good...
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    You can do it guys. Do it for your wife/kids/whoever and yourself.

    Live long enough to be a pain to your children!

    I'm quitting again tomorrow.

    Looks like I don't have a choice now, if everyone at the Texas Gathering is smoke-free.

    You hear that hoosier?

    You the man tour, keep it up.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    My New Years Resolution was to start smoking, specifically for the 2nd Annual Polk Gathering...so I could be "Cool"... ;)

    I will just sit outside, and have beer cans thrown at me I guess...

    Mark:

    We'll just have you sit outside of Polk headquarters and throw Bose drivers at you. How's about being doinked on the noggin with a 901 driver?

    :D

    Thanks all... Walked through a few workers on break the other day at the grocery. Smelled very bad...

    Doro,
    I don't think cigars count. I do have one last Cuban I was thinking of bringing to PF2 with some single malt...
    More later,
    Tour...

    polkatese and Tour.

    ALLRIGHT! Good job!

    I was wondering how this was going. You guys are on the way to freedom from those evil little ****. Hang in there. It will get better. The day you finally realize you are in control will be a very, very, good day. I guarantee that.

    Good job Tour. I have tried several times without success. However, I am cutting down and now use a small filter that takes out 90% of the tar www.nic-out.com You can see the tar build up inside the filter after the first pull....naaasty!. But the funny plant? I'll still be smoking that after I quit the cigs:cool: .
