Well, i'm curious what everyone else chose as a new years resolution.

I quit smoking.

Holy crap this is difficult. I didn't realize making it a couple days would be so hard. I opted to buy dip as a way to ward off the shakes and the freaking out sensation of not being able to smoke. So far, so good.


What about you all? What did you promise to do?
 
Re: Whats your "New years resolution"

Just a little piece of advice. You should use the patches instead of dip. I used dip about 8 years ago to quit smoking and now I can't seem to stay away from the dip. I have quit about 5 times in 8 years but I keep coming back to it. I don't miss the smoking but I really crave the chew. JMO
 
Re: Whats your "New years resolution"

I plan to head to the clinic tomorrow for patches. I just started to freak out a little last night, so i figured i'll use it as a stop gap until everything opens up tomorrow.

It is a tough task but you can do it. I quit smoking a little over two years ago, I went to the chew. I did this for about a year and a half. My wife was on me and on me, so I went to the patches. I did not chew while on them, I did a box of the full dose, then went to the 1/2 dose box, so about 3 weeks of the patch, and WALA. I havent chewed for 5 months. I do crave the chew every once in a while, especially when I am around someone who is dipping. Smoking, Well i dispise it. I will never go back to smoking. Dipping, that I cannot promis.

I tried the Chantix. WOW, I wanted to tear someones head off.
Good luck.

Re: Whats your "New years resolution"

dont do chantix please. some people it works with but other people just get their head fucked with. dont take a pill that warns you on the box that you might get suicidal/homicidal thoughts...
 
Re: Whats your "New years resolution"

LOL I just put a big fat dip in about 2 min ago. I quit smoking too...About 3 years ago. Now its a skoal can a day for me. I would definitely reccommend dipping as a way to quit smoking. I am thinking maybe if I start smoking again to quit dipping everything will be fine...or not.

My wife wants to try chantix...I am afraid.

I quit smoking cold turkey 11 years ago. then about 6 years ago for an unexplainable reason started chewing. after about a year of carring around a spit bottle, getting yellow teeth, and bad breath quit that cold turkey as well. my cig cravings went away totally after about 6 mos. but still crave a chew from time to time. IMO chewing was a lot harder to quit than smoking

I think not smoking cold turkey is a really good idea. I wonder, though, whether it's better for your health than smoking hot turkey.
 
Re: Whats your "New years resolution"

1.to spend as much time with family as possible they have suffered alot this last couple years with me being gone about 85% of the time. take my wife on a vacation, get to know my son when i left he was only 3 months old and he'll be almost a year old when i get home, and take my daughter to disneyland

2. to finish the bodywork on my 71 bronco

3. to take care of good glass and getting what i want done to all the guns in my safe before buying another one. i've bought like 3-4 guns without buying any new optics. ugh.

Mine is to get out of debt. Last camper payment is in September and my pickup will be paid off the next month. Then I'll start building my house and go in debt again for 25 years.
