Yeah, I am proud of it!

Terry, that's great!! I'm going on what... 5 years now I think? I do have one very rarely (like every few months when drinking alot), but that's it..

Congrats...
 
Jeff B, what I did I didn't tell any one what I was doing, that way I didn't set myself up a goal. I didn't have to prove to anybody I could do it. No failure pressure. I made up in my mind of how stupid I was for doing it and I was in controll of myself and not a dried up plant in a peice of paper with a cotton FILTER? on the end of it! I told my wife not to speak to me, not to ask me anything for three days. And I meant NOTHING! I did not empty ANY ashtrays and by the 5th day I noticed they started to stink. In 10 days they were about to make me sick they stunk so bad, but still I wouldn't let my wife empty them! The second week of December we go to Tennesee every year to bartend a Christmas Party, My 4runner sat in the shop with the windows up and the ashtray full. When I got into the 4runner I got sick and flung the door open just in time to throwup in the floor of my shop! I knew then and there I was on the right track!

Nobody can explain how good it feels to say " I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE!" I'm not preaching to anybody, and it doesn't bother me at all if you smoke. I'm just answering Jeff's question about the way I done it. And I did not have the right to say anything about the price of gas when I was smoking two "TANKS" a week so to speak!
 
Y'all do the math... smokes were 55 cents a pack (in vending machines) when I quit. I recently saw a cigarette vending machine while up in PA... $6.50 a pack. Unbelievable!
 
Congrats Terry!
 
I've gone 9 months and 25 days so far. Quit smoking and caffeine the same day. Finally after many failed attempts, I'm done.
 
cj777, you da man! How does it feel to say "I Quit"? Granny congrats man. I sorta thought this might strike a nerve. Thanks Dave.
 
I quit Dipping about 5 years ago. Best thing I did. Was dipping about a can and a 1/2 a day every day....
 
20 years of Dipping, Last February/March I "spit it out" and never looked back. No helpers, just quit. It's the one thing I'll thank the Gov't for. The tax hike they instituted then was enough motivation for me to say that I wasn't giving them anymore taxes than I had to.

damn right! I didn't tell anyone either, not even my wife. and I'll add this, you have to TRULY WANT TO, you have to have a motivating reason. without it, you will fail.
 
Congrats man! That is awsome and your right. You used reverse psycology on yourself and it worked!
