Anyway here are some of my resolution for the upcoming year:

1. Get in better shape and eat right. As of now I'm physical mess with all work and no physical activity. None, nada!

2. Stop procrastinating: this has gotten me into trouble my entire life and I need to put an end to it.

3. Stop putting money into the X: for God's sake it has enough stuffs already. My X has more presents than anyone I know and it's not even asking for it .

I think that's about it. What about you guys and gals? Let's hear your New Year resolutions.

I and about 10 of my friends have all read it, and while it worked for some and not others, the people that it didn't work for, it acted as a starting point. The best thing about it is that the author tells you to smoke while you're reading it.... 'nuf said.



http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/140...lance&n=283155

The name of it is The Easy Way to Quit Smoking by Alan Carr. I highly recommend it. It's only $15 and it might help you. And if not, well, it was $15 spent on reading material instead of smokes

Good luck, I know how hard it is. I just quit 2 weeks ago and I'm in the "not sleeping phase" and it sucks big time. I'll see how I do tomorrow while I'm out at Ryan McFadden's watching ND kick some ass in the Fiesta Bowl, it's going to be tough as I like to smoke when I drink.....
Thanks, gresch! I've ordered it! I appreciate the tip!

Juan

Juan:

Glad to see smoking on that list. Here's a thought about quiting. Success depends almost wholly on the smoker’s determination and will to stop. Without this determination, no antismoking remedy will succeed. But with it, a person can quit without paying for some expensive antismoking remedy. Ninety percent of ex-smokers quit without any of such aids. As World Health magazine said: “The major element in success or failure is and will always be the smoker’s willpower. The rest is just trimming.” You have to tell your self your gonna quit and stick to it.

Aside from that you also have to have some motivation to quit. Here are a few questions some have asked themselves.

#1 If you had gone to a doctor and he told you that you would die from cancer unless you gave up smoking would you quit?

#2 What about the health problems you will have. Is that fair to make your family deal with the health issues you will have down the line because of Smoking?

30 years ago a friend and i challenged each other to quit smoking. We went cold turkey. Not losing was my motivation. About 20 years ago I tried it again for 10 seconds and decided nope don't need it.

I could go on all night but i'm encouraged that your considering it. This time make it for real.
