Doodles If you think about it, thats just what it is...smoking is the perfect poster boy for hyper captitalism...It creates its own need, then by the mechanism of addiction, recreates its own need perpetually...It is in fact the ultimate self-propelled money making machine...Its a pretty ingenious trap... Mind you now I happen to think that of all the economic systems in existance capitalism with all of its ability to exploit and highlight the worst in humans is the best of all the worst choices for humans to perpetuate themselves...But the tobaco industry is a case study in capitalism taken to the extreme...Not only is it private industry dealing death for profit, but the government is also a willing conspiritor...That is why we will never see the end of the industry, it was bought and paid for years ago... However, that does not mean the situation is hopeless...We as individuals have the ability, strength and insight to opt out of the system at any time...ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS NOT SMOKE... I ain't goin down the rabbit hole no more. how about you? nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 257 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,710 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,698.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 46 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 23

alright bold You didn't go to the store and buy another trip on the iluusionary stress reduction treadmill...Way to go...I know it was hard for you, but I also know that the short term fix is just that, short term...Have you tried redirecting some of that energy into an activity that you have never tried? For me its running, biking and weights...It could be anything that pushes you physically and mentally...Don't go down the rabbit hole, smoking really is an Alice in Wonderland illusion...You don't need it, you are just fine as you are and getting better every day... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 256 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,680 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,688.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 46 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 28 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

Bold, Just keep going smoke free one day at a time and very soon you will stop thinking about them all the time. I am a little past 100 and it has eased up considerably. Be proud of yourself because this is the wisest choice you can make and when you get older you won't regret smoking for 20 years or longer. Keep the faith in yourself!

Hey thanks for the support guys good news I didnt buy a pack of smokes last night even though I wanted to I stoped myself :) I know that living a healthy long life is better then having 5 min of a cancer stick and dying of cancer or some other bad disease down the road. I know its going to be real hard for me over the next couple of months to stay smoke free but I really want to and will. Also those relaxing exercise helped casey thanks, and again thanks to all for your support this board has really helped during this quit!
