Making New Years Resolutions

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 672

For those less fortunate Browsers & Smokeret's out there the last i herd Joe Camel's in early retirement, all three versions of the Marlborough Men are 6 feet under from cancer + Nicotine Addiction ain't cool no more.

Times are a changing & you want to be hanging with the 'in crowd' so come on in & test the waters. Stop sitting on the fence, make that life changing decision you only dream about, you won't regret it. I know you want it.

Just think of a life of freedom, waking up in the morning / going to bed at night with not so much as a single smoking thought, no want for cigarettes & no nicotine withdrawal.

Wouldn't that be cool ? ... It's pure it's bliss.

No excuses, no time like the present, don't put off until tomorrow what you could do today, no more procrastination. Just do it !

You know what you have to do

fyi, i smoked for 15 yrs & quit cold turkey.... what a freaking ride !.

I will keep the quit and start to monitor the foods that I put in my body. Time to cut back on soft drinks (pop) and say no to more deserts.

For the first time in 30+ years I don't have to do that stupid 'quit smoking' resolution that never seemed to work (until SSC!). I get to give my daughter away in September and will be 40 lbs lighter when I walk her down the aisle. That is only 4 lbs per month or 1 lb per week. I am already counting carbs and monitoring intake. Mission begins in earnest as soon as I finish this handful of Chrismas cashews.

Keep the Quit,

Dave

I plan on eating healthier and exercising. I have 7 or so pounds to lose. I'm also going to go off the NRTs around the first. When ever I run out of them lol....
