Cigarettes, Coffee, Computers

One of them has to go!
Which one would you give up?

 

is life an option?

 

I find it hard to believe that there is a question here.

 

As I don't smoke I wouldn't have to give cigarettes up ... But I am pretty hooked on the other two... So I may have to start smoking and give that up

 

WHY? why does one have to go? they all go so well together.

(but I know the politically correct answer would be cigarettes)

 

I don;t smoke and I don't frink coffee and i would never give up my computer

 

Hey splitt3r, same here. Now if giving up eating was on the list , I guess I would have to part with the computer.

Amen to all three.

 

Which one was destroying your life the most? Which one would be the hardest for you to quit? Do that one first and the rest will be a doddle afterwards

Good slogan in England.... "If you think giving up smoking is hard, trying telling your kids you have lung cancer"

 

Personally, I think getting rid of all the computers in the house would the hardest.

 

if i got rid of all the pc's quiting coffee and smoking would be easier than dealing with the wife (she's addicted to pc)

 

Cigarettes Most Definetly!!

I smoked for 16 years and quit 1 year 5 months ago

I can smell, I can hike,ride a bike, and oh yeah BREATHE and I do not smell like an ashtray







Stopping smoking is easy!......I've done it a thousand times

 

This might help you choose.....

 

didn't you just quit?

 

Great one, Lev. Fortunately I don't smoke and hate coffee flavoured anything. I've been using PC's since the days of the Tandy Model 1, and am thoroughly addicted to PC's and MG. Bazza

well. of course the obvious answer would be cigarettes

but which one are you more addicted to?

take a day
stay away from all of them

and the first "C" ya hit
get rid of it

especially the crack or cocaine your not telling us about. . . . .

 

Lev, that would be a great silent advert for quitting smoking. Can you provide a link?
I'd like to submit it to our OZ "QUIT" campaign. Bazza

Yea, I'm trying to quit smoking, but i find myself NOT..

 

I no longer have the web addy, but if you PM me your e-mail I can send you the file if that helps

 

They forgot Emphysema...

 

Most smokers do too............





.......until they have it

 

Hrmmm, I hike, bike, run, drink/brew beer, mountain climb, spelunking....and still smoke.

I use to be in the navy. During our Physicals, we had to do push-ups, sit-ups, then run. After the run, I always smoked a ciggie. NO, I didn't finish in last place. Typically, I was near the front of the pack.

Though, if I had a g/f who nagged me to death on my smoking, perhaps I'd quit then.

 

My Mother has emphysema...and had a massive, debillitating stroke as a result of years of smoking. I`m trying to quit, and have in fact cut my consumption by more than hald. New Year`s resolution, and I mean it.

 

Good for you Sasquatch My husband is in the process of cutting back and has done extremely well so far. His goal is to quit by his birthday, which is the end of January. Having been there myself I guess it helps understand what he is going through to support him.

 

i'm still struggling

 

Hang in there Laurie...you just be reaching the 2 month milestone by now? You are doing so great hunnie. I know it is a hard time with your son being out the country and all the associated stress that goes along with that, but let him be your strength too. You are doing this for him as much as for you

I hope you asked him to bring some Bisto back

 

bisto, oxo, hienz salad cream, cadbury flakes, bornville, rizlas (very important!) and if they can manage it..bacon, butter and cream! (we can only get streaky here, and something called 'canadian bacon' , and i think real cream must have been banned by the states coz here we get 'wipping' or 'heavy' and both taste like the stuff in the spray can!) i wish he could bring an indian take out. i miss chicken kauma. there is probably more..we add to the list daily. he on the other hand is missing fish, lau lau (pork and fish wrapped in taro leaves..which taste like spinich), poi (like a purple mash potato made from taro roots), poke (raw fish apitizer) and all the friut. he likes english fish n chips, but finds it difficult to understand that there is only one 'flavor'. i miss him.

 

You shouldn't be needing these anymore Laurie!

Cute

I understand that...miss mine so much every day...hurts even more now Christmas is coming. Can't wait until April.....

 

ummm. only giving up CIGGIES.

 

Same here

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA I PICK COMPUTERS HAHAHA NO COFEE HAHAHAHA okay stop wit tha caps i hate it

 

I quit October of this year and really notice the "ashtray" smell a lot on people. However, I have gained 35 pounds because I do not walk outside to smoke anymore, I just sit at the computer and drink coffee with extra sugar and creamer. Hmmmmm, I regularly argue that quitting smoking is going to be the death of me from heart failure induced by a cup of coffee and three cows worth of creamer and half a country full of cane sugar. Mind you I dont say it that often, my breathing is not that good yet.

 

I am a quitter as of November 1. After smoking 2 packs a day for almost 20 years, I realize now what a breath of 'fresh' air really is. For those of you attempting to quit or are considering quitting, don't let anyone tell you that the NicodermCQ nicotine patches won't help. For the past few years, I have been trying to quit. I have used the patch during many of these attempts. The one thing I can tell you that they did was to take away the physical nervous feeling of not smoking...you know...the feeling you get after being awake more than 6 hours with no cigarette. The biggest hurdle for me was putting a sense of urgency with quitting. Once I added the urgency to the desire and the use of the patches, quitting became almost effortless. The sense of urgency comes from the fact that in February, my wife and I have a baby boy due to be born.
Good luck to anybody wishing to stop smoking. For those of you smokers not interested in quitting, more power to you. Don't let anybody give you any sh!t. If I smoked one right now, I know I would enjoy it.
