[OT] alsih2o how goes the battle?

[Limper]

Just thought I would ask how the battle is going?

 

[alsih2o]

i can no longer tell you how long it has been in hours.

i spent 2 hours in the presence of 2 smokers the other day and didn't bite either one of them.

i found unsmoked cigarettes in the house today, i threw the pack in the trash. i went back 5 minutes later and wet them, just in case i wasn't gonna be that strong all day.

it is still hard, i am still winning. i realize it has only been a week, but i understand my alcoholic brother (9 years, no booze) saying the urge is always there.

feeling pretty darn good about myself, thanks for asking limper.

i hope mark from creative mountain and everyone else is holding out as well.

Psst.......ever heard of email?

At the very least, should be marked [OT]

Pssst... ever hear of friends supporting one another? Announcing in public that you quit is one more way to help kick the habit. This thread is fine.

EDIT - this came off ruder than I intended it to, Dragongirl. I'm still irritated about the thread I just closed, and that's not your fault.

I'm sure you can't imagine it at the moment, but the urge will eventually pass (for the most part).

Oddly, thinking about not smoking is just as pernicious as thinking about smoking. Your goal is to not think about it at all.

Relax. You will be fine.

Stick to your guns...

...and for my 2 cents, in what is widely considered to be the General Forum (although it says General RPG Discussion) I don't think marking posts as OT should be necessary unless it is completely out of left field (like you need help with a math problem or something).

Asking about one of the members health is definately on topic as far as I'm concerned.

Course...no one asked me either.

It is necessary, though! If it isn't RPG-related, it should be marked OT, please. Including this thread. That helps people pick their wheat from their chaff, and avoid threads that don't interest them.

Keep at it there, alsih2o, it's always good to see someone kick the habit.

Remember kids, the best way to stop smoking is to not start! *game show smile*

Best of luck with quitting!

And here I thought this thread would be about the battle for clay from around the world.

Oh well, good luck with both battles!
