you can do it! stay strong. I've heard it gets a little easier every day...
God what do you do for an encore poke your eyes out? I to am trying to quit. Those pic just set me back yesterday thats when I quit. More later I am away for cigs.......
There are plenty of hot guys who don't smoke. There are plenty of hot guys who hate that ashtray taste of kissing a smoker.
It does get easier the longer you go. But you have to stay strong, because the desire never goes completely. Occasionally I still feel like a smoke, and I gave up 20 years ago.
Hi there, Spys
I think that nicotine can be one of the hardest addictions to break - it certainly seems to be a real struggle for a lot of people. You've beaten it for 9 days so far; I'm sure that as time goes by it does get easier. So keep on trying to beat it for another 9 days, or even just one day at a time, if that's what it takes. You might already be through the worst of it.
As for the pictures: they don't make me want to smoke at all. They're more or less good-looking guys, but smoking is a real turn-off for me. It smells awful, it looks unpleasant, and the thought of what it's doing to someone's lungs just makes me cringe.
I'm thinking of you.

Smoking will eventually rot these beautiful young guys from the inside out, young Peter... That's the reality-- the hidden disease that slowly captures and converts healthy cells to cancerous ones...
I don't want to be morbid here, but, since I always seem to relate to these youth issues through the prism of my own experience, here goes---
I was 6 years old when my grandfather (my dad's dad) was institutionalized in a sanitorium... Now, for you kids that automatically associate that word with a crazy place for deranged people, like in a horror movie... NAWW!!! It was a huge building, like in the movies, designed to house terminally ill people, kind of like a hospice situation today... It was in a beautiful setting- right by the ocean, but, I will say, that the inside of the facility was like a horror movie to me, at age 6...
My grandfather was there because of his failing health... He was an alcoholic who had suffered a severe stroke some years before, and,my grandmother cared for him like an angel, after the stroke, and, cleaned houses to put food on the table to replace his lost wages... Well, she couldn't care for him at one point, because he was a huge man, and, when he would fall, or something, it would take a couple of strong men to help him up....
Housed in the same unit as him, were other sick men... The place was separated into 'dorms', each housing maybe 30 guys... beds lining each wall, with these hospital curtains separating each bed...
A few days before he died, he asked to see me, one last time... On a Sunday afternoon, we all piled into the station wagon, and made the trip to the site. I was led into this place, holding my dad's hand... I'll never forget the shear terror of it for me... You see, Peter, along the wall closest to the entrance to the dorm, there was a line of beds where some cancer patients lay... I was told not to look, but, how do you do that?? One guy ( a heavy smoker) was sitting in his bed, smoking... half his throat was cut away, in the most gruesome fashion (part of his lower jaw was gone), and, he was smoking through an airhole device in his lower neck... I have never seen anything so awful, and, never want to see anything like it again... The legacy of smoking is just cruel, sometimes, kid!! Please persist, and, rid yourself of this horrible addiction!! luv, U.T.<3
Mark reminded me of something: Nicotine is about the #3 most addictive drug, right behind opiates/heroin, and cocaine/crack. Better to kick this now...you can do it. Go find some pics of well hot guys that aren't smoking instead of ones that are!
Peace <3

Quitting an addiction is difficult cos it takes weeks and months. Your brain has to find a natural chemical balance again and it has to rewire; you are now over the worst of the physical addiction, and overcoming the social aspect takes time also. The old saying is 'once a junkie always a junkie' meaning you must never touch a cigarette again. It is dirty and expensive, socially unacceptable these days, and the destruction of your health is insidious over the years. Beware of anything that has the word 'addiction' tied to it. Go for exercise and the natural high. Good for you for having the guts to quit. If you fall off the wagon then quit again until you suceed. - Wayne
Hi there, Spys
I'm still thinking of you; I hope you've managed to beat the nicotine for another day.
*hugs*
