Who wants to be a nonsmoker?

[zooter]

I have a proposition for anyone who has the inclination to quit smoking. It will require the cooperation of all the smartalecs out there who would like to put their worthless 2c in from time to time. You lot have to be content to watch. Post away here on this thead but leave the others alone please.

Anyone desirous of turning into a nonsmoker post a new thread here in "rave on" to take up my offer. Call it "hey Zooter, help me quit smoking". 1st in first served. Answer my every question truthfully and I guarantee you will quit sucessfully. No other discussion will be entered into.

This isn't the "Smokers Anonymous" joke is it? Where every time they want to have a ciggy they go and get pissed in the local strip joint with $300 in tipping money?

I WAS SPENDING ABOUT $100 A WEEK ON SMOKES, SO WHAT I DID WAS I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO STOP AND I WENT AND FINANCED A MOTORBIKE FOR $100 A WEEK , I PAYED MORE A WEEK THAN I NEEDED TO I DIDNT NEED THE BIKE AS I ALREADY HAD A GOOD ONE. I THEN HAD NO CHOICE I HAD TO PAY THE FINANCE BUT IT FELT EASIER BY FAR TO QUIT THIS TIME THAN THE 5 OR 6 PREVIOUS TIMES WHEN I WANTED TO SMOKE ILL THINK OF MY BIKE OR RIDE MY BIKE. SMOKING IS A MIND GAME , HUMANS DONT LIKE TO LOSE AND GIVING UP SMOKING IS LOSING SOMETHING SO PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITIVE FRAME OF MIND BUT ITS GOT TO BE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW SOMETHING YOU CAN TOUCH AND USE , A CAR , A STEREO A BIKE , NOT A TRIP IN 6 MONTHS OR A SAVINGS PLAN . IT MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE BUT ITS WORKED FOR PEOPLE I TALKED INTO TRYING IT

Congratulations on quitting the nicotine. Unfortunately your "reward" method doesn't help with getting over the drug addiction.
Giving up smoking is only "giving up something" if you believe you are getting something from the smoke. Even if you can't put your finger on what you are getting you must feel some kind of reward for dragging noxious fume into your lungs or you wouldn't do it. It's a complex sytem of drug addiction and social brainwashing which sets up the smoker. Anyone up for the offer??

I would like to vote JOHN for councelling... dirty little fagger he is

*please quit John.. it's for the family*

My dad quit smoking 15 times! I think this time he quit for good after I gave him so much crap about it.

Keep persiting and don't give up... smoke might blow away but the crap in your lungs wont

Yup, I'm keen this month, just need a little time to psych(SP?) myself up for it.
Ahhhhh, procrastination the last refuge of the unhappy smoker

My point is that the reward doesn't help in getting the brain around the addiction. You would have got over the nicotine just as easily without the new bike.
"smoking is not that exciting" - I couldn't have put it better myself!
"a little help" is what I'm offering anyone who wants it.

Everyone seems to work in different ways with this one; I never started as my folks both smoked a lot and I didn't really see the point of lumbering yourself with it. (Lucky me...)
My first job was working in a hospice. That's how I got my mum to finally stop after 20 years of trying: I described what some of our patients had gone through and what I'd seen.
She hasn't smoked now for 14 years. Neither has Dad; not easy, and I'm very proud of them both; in their day you started when you were 10 or so so it was a hard one for them to break...
