ArcheryTalk TOBACO QUITTERS get a Bye-week
That's right Quitters
Everyone is still in the Contestand a couple more that I either missed or forgot to add to the list.
The Rules committee (me, The Hood) decided that everyone is giving this a 100% try and there's no need to DQ anyone that is trying to quit.
There will be a mandatory check in between Oct 8 and 12th, 4 days to check in and give your status or you will be taken off the list.................
By the way, I have quit!:darkbeer:

just have everyone send you a pm with their address and copy and paste in an email and just send it to yourself... then when you get more pm's open a new email and copy all the addy's from the email you sent to yourself and add the new ones and send it to yourself again... just repeat untill you have everyones

Hang in there all
Hey, cool thread you got going here. Until July 4 2004 I chewed a can of Skoal and smoked a half a pack of Marlboro Lights daily. I quit cold turkey.
Here is what remember.
I was physicaly ill for a solid 3 months with extreme vertigo or dizziness and flu like symptoms. (fever and congestion)
Every morning for about 9 months I had the party in the shower where I coughed up (seemingly) half my lungs while they healed themselves.
At 3 months I remember telling a friend that I still thought about either chewing or smoking constantly.
It was about 6 months when I realized It had been a while since I had obsessed about chewing or smoking.
At one year I smelled cigarette smoke and was repulsed and have not wanted one since. I have actually become some what allergic to second hand smoke and try my best to stear clear.
I still LOVE the smell of Skoal or Cope and wish (on occasion) for a chew. The obsession however is completely gone.
Here is what worked for me.
1. I had a support system anchored by one person who I called daily
specificly about the smoking issue.
2. I had a set plan for what to do in situations when I felt I really needed
a fix.
3. I asked god daily to help me get through the day. (sometimes many
times a day)
I can not tell you how greatful I am that I am no longer a slave to nicotine. I breath full, deep breaths. I no longer have a weeze, nor do I have that constant congestion or cough. No more parties in the shower, bent over coughing until almost puking. I would go through twice the pain to get the end result.
I don't know if any of this helps but I felt compelled to jump in here. Good luck to all pm me if you want to yak.
