Day 9

Way to go dude. Keep it up. You can beat this.

My dad has smoked nearly all his life. A couple years ago he found out that he had COPD and his doctor told him that he needed to stop smoking immediately. He has yet to do so. There are many times I find myself wondering how much longer it will be before it catches up with him and he gets cancer or has to go on oxygen.

Keep it up, dude. My mom smokes, and it'll be the death of her.

Great job. You know, I heard that when you're trying to break an addiction, eating ice cream helps a lot.

Oh, you want to lose weight, too? Well then, uh, damn. You're making me feel guilty. What's next? Cutting back on time in front of the computer?

Keep on going...

My mom turned to candy when she quit smoking. Runts in particular. It worked well for her. She rarely even needs the candy anymore. OF course, that method wouldn't really fit in the losing weight plan. But I hope you find something that works for you.

My computer ius the only thing keeping me from an intimate love affair with a water tower and my 30-06. I'm going nuts. Time for another Diet Sierra Mist...

Keep strong, what you're doing is so the best.

Soft serve ice cream isn't too bad for you...at least the main ingrediant is milk instead of fat.

I myself am fighting 2 addictions at the moment. In the last years, I tried to get rid of it in steps, but now I realise that doesn't work for me. I just have to stop at once. And so I did. I stopped 1 bad habit 4 months ago (and I don't miss it) and I just started to quit the other one 3 days ago. This time I can do it, I just feel it.
It feels so good to be free of everything. And I hope it pays off in other ways as well.

Good luck everybody, we can do it.

Well I had a setback last night. I was hanging out at the bar after work and I gave in to temptation, well at least 4 drags of temptation. I couldn't even finish half of it. Now I'm coughing like I've been mining coal for the past 30 years.

Well, back on the wagon today. I must persevere.

Tell us the addictions. Everyone wants details.

Canyarion · 09-30-2005, 08:22 AM

You won't get the details.

Like, if he didn't bring it up in his original post, why would you even want to pressure him into telling us? Give the guy some respect man.
