Quiting smoking

[greenriverman1]

I quit after 20+ years. The only way I was able to quit was to replace them with tooth pics. The tooth pics kept my hand busy. It had to do with a lot of mind control. Sounds stupid I know but it will help. When the urge hits make yourself busy doing something to get your mind off of the smokes. Do not use gum or candy because you will replace one habit for another. After awhile the urge will start to slow down. Then you will start to slow down on the tooth pics.

You have to stop cold turky. You can do it so I will not say lots of luck because you can!

Well here it goes. I am down to mty last two packs, I would throw them out but I want to have my last before bed Fri and have the weekend to start adjusting. Price has already went up 10$. And that is ridiculas, rasing prices on anything during this economy is stupid. Our leaders are silly.

Best of luck Bobby, hope you pull it off.

Be sure and send Beshear a thank you note for our new alcohol and tobacco sin taxes. Kentucky should've let him have his gambling boats...

Memo from the Governors of the States:

We have experienced a drastic decrease in revenue from all of sin taxes. Tobacco and Liquor sales have plummeted and therefore the State's income has fallen seriously.

In order to make up this revenue shortfall we must impose a 78% tax increase on all fishing related products.

Therefore your pack of hooks will increase from $2.99 to $5.32
Your new $30.00 rod will now cost $53.40 etc. etc.

We as the States have no idea on how to cut our costs or operate with a "balanced" budget. We have heard that some of you peons,, uh er. we mean people, actually know how to cut back on unneeded expenditures and live within your income, but we have no idea how to accomplish that foreign idea.

It won't be long, they will be taxing food again. Because everybody's gonna quit smoking and they will have too save their money for the weekend to have a six pack on saturday. Hey here's a thought, everybody other than a regular state worker. Let's cut their pay by 3/4 and let's take away their lifetime benefits. Let them know how everybody else feels. Or better yet let's fire their butt because they do a worse job than the weatherman. At least he's right 10% of the time

[Bobby Headrick]

Yea I do not get the logic behind rasing price on things during an econmic crisis. Besher is doing this cause he did not get expanded gaming, thanks Mitch for messing us over, also do you all know that Mitch McConnel has more earmarks in the bill than any other senator, and most do nothing to help the economy. Our system is flawed, our reps, leg's etc, have gotten 5% + raises every year, I ahve received 5% over the last 6 yrs, my check is now smaller than it was when I started. Now they go and do this, SIN TAXES" BS!!!!. If they taxed all the illegals here we could get out of this deficit. I am growning sick and tired of the way Ky politics is ran, but now cannot afford to go anywhere else. I am going to be a bear for a while while quitting smoking, but I just can't make myself pay more for our leaders mistakes. Do you know if us at our jobs did as bad as they do we would be terminated on the spot. We hired these people to run our state, we shoul dbe allowed to fire them.

Bobby,
I hear ya brother! Our local City Gubment is corrupt as well I have first hand knowledge since I'm dealing with them on some issues with State funds and Construction bids. Sad to say but I bet most gubment is corrupt when money is in play.
Not to side track you too much but you see the way gubment programs and gubment power is so out of control? That's why I am so against presbo! He is cut from the cloth of gubment needs to take care of you, your not smart enough to do it yourself. Plus, we will always take care of ourselves by asking for more money from you.

Day one, it is going ok , I am using a nicotrol inhaler to help ease the withdrawl, but hanging in there, I am determined to quite this habit. I have a tourney this coming weekend and it will take my mind off cigs for a few days, It is one day at a time.

I'm not doing too good. Finished the last carton and was okay till I decided one more pack. Ive slowed down, a pack has lasted me for two days but Ive got to get myself passed that last smoke and drop it. It's not going easy.

[DJD]

Come on guys do it because your quality of life depends on it. Get some meds to help if needed. Stick with it!

[Bobby Headrick]

Day two, still have not smoked, having some withdraw but it will be better in the long run, breath easier, no more treated like a second class citizen, more money for fishing, doing better this time than before. It is a mind thing, if a person can quite now at this time with all the stress the world is in it should make a stronger person. Whew. Thanks Don and Grumpy and the rest for the support, comon Cobra if I can do it anyone should.
