THE OFFICIAL QUIT SMOKING THREAD

[Rory Phoulorie]

So when you drinking you don't crave it at all?

Drinking what? Water? I stopped drinking alcohol probably a year before I stopped smoking mainly due to the financial burden it was putting on my bank account. Again, one day I decided I was going to stop and that was it.

All beer tastes like crap. Rum was okay. Scotch Whisky and Vodka were getting too expensive to be drinking regularly. The only alcohol I consume now may be in medication or Black Forest cake.

Kudos to you, rp, but if I had ever quit hardcore like that, the last thing I'd do is gloat at or berate another quitter (or potential quitter) for not having the same will power I did.

. . .the last thing I'd do is gloat at or berate another quitter (or potential quitter) for not having the same will power I did.

My sincerest apologies to all who were offended by my comments. It was not meant to come across as gloating. Sometimes I cannot understand why, if of all people I could achieve something, why can't other people do the same (I am, in a sense, putting down myself here).

[Hook]

It's because we're not all built the same meng. Everybody handles it differently and everybody has (more or less) different reasons for quitting or wanting to quit.

Congratulations bro. I stopped cigs in December 2009, unfortunately started back in October 2011, now trying to quit again. Stopped alcohol in April 2012, although my alcohol drinking is usually in phases.

At what point do we stop counting the days and just let go of these dependencies?

[shogun]

Buncha quitters!

Seriously though. Keep it up peoples. Nasty habit this is.
