    Glad to hear it Joni and Tonin!! I had wondered if you y'all would end up changing your mind. We're staying at the Adam's Mark. Will you guys be crashing in Buffalo or making the trek home that night?

    Mr. T wants to make it back for work the next day (yeah, as if!) but I think if you let him spoon Todd for a couple hours he might change his mind. :)

    7th row floor! Apparently that's still within Bobby's spit range! Whooo Hooo!

    Looks like I'll be joining all you fine folk for the big Tuesday night blowout! Mr.Tonin requested a shenanigans partner/alibi/co-pilot. I don't even like the band but I'm too scared to say no to Mark Tonin.

  7. The Official Skank Quitting Smoking Thread

    I quit cold turkey. It was really hard. Do what you have to do but if you care about yourself, quit. If you have kids, then even if you don't care about yourself, care about them and quit. That's it. Lots of things in life are hard, quitting smoking is near the top as far as I'm concerned, but as with anything else it just takes effort. If you get a craving and start heading to a store, stop, turn around and go somewhere else, hell call in sick for work that day so you don't pass said store. Take a vacation for the first week so that you can completely change your routine around (best thing to do I think).

    The main thing is, when you feel that urge, just don't go for it no matter how hard it is. It will get easier (although I don't think the cravings will ever go away, it's a lot easier to ignore them now and takes way less effort or way less of a creative excuse to myself to accomplish).

    Good luck to those that try but really it boils down to hard work. How hard, or how much crap can you put up with...

    Wow! That sounds so different than my quitting trip. For me, quitting this time felt as if it was almost accidental. I've stopped smoking a few times years ago and remember it being just like you described it mattm, but the difference this time was listening to Alan Carr's audio book. It's so weird that after 20 years of heavy smoking I honestly haven't spent more than a few fleeting moments in the past 2 months thinking about smoking.

    mattm, or anyone else that's already quit but are still haunted by cravings, maybe try reading Carr's book. It could be the magic pill that takes away the constant 'hard work' of quitting. :)

    Just don't make the gigs too early' date=' there are NHL playoffs to enjoy. Or we'll all have to set PVR's and keep our eyes and ears closed to results on the way home.....[/quote']

    A tv at the Boathouse would solve this issue for me...Im still on the fence.

    C'mon Hal! Playoffs in which your team isn't even playing or an evening of awesome music? Do I really have to ask the Magic 8 Ball for you?
