Quitting

^^ Holy shit beem, at the risk of showing my ignorance, what the hell is that?! Foundry or something.

50,000 ton closed die forging press, most powerful piece of manufacturing equipment in this hemisphere.

the falcon killed all the winged pests a long time ago lol

I put in a couple light tubes in the ceiling, its fine. Im easily distracted, windows would make it worse lol. Much better when we have no co-op students or new female hires too, my whole group is also pretty easily distracted by that, typical engineers.

What’s funny is the production office area we just built has two offices with windows out front…but it looks out front at the smoking area. I’ll pass.

Beem I’d post pictures of the plants I build, it’s pharma though, nothing as exciting as that.

Lol at prime with the calculator…hahaha our SC people use those too. And Sak with the hand lotion and tv remote (Patrick Bateman…:-o)? Cloch’s office looks typical lawyer, love the highrise view.

Awesome guys. More…

The view out the window is nicer than my desk

seems like everyone is working in the city, anyone out in the country a bit?

Winner. I LOVE the view of downtown Toronto. I work in a depressed little town 1/2 hour away from Burlington. No nice views…

Eating licorice. Getting fat. Still on track, no smoking. Wife offered to find a foreign movie on Netflix with good nudity to get my mind off things. Yesssss.

Oh thanks to Bango I’m on US Netflix. Better movies for sure.

I mostly work in the suburbs and some of them are out in the country. We also go out to farms every now and then. That count?

I think im over the hump now…i dont think about smoking as much, but its still hard to get anything from the garage (where I smoked), and I dont have much tolerance for forums now lol. Locked myself in a bathroom yesterday with a big Bosch hammer, came out with 400 lbs of tiles. Good to keep busy. Now I gotta cut the tub and pull it out.

J, How are you making out? Hanging in there?

Hey Ron, yeah maybe it was easier than I thought, thanks for asking. Talking to a parent at my kids school from last night, nice German guy who quit a while ago but still has a few socially. I don’t think I’ll ever get there, lol.

I stopped the junk food now too, actually I am under 180lbs now…weird. Would be nice to get to 160 again like i was a couple years ago. Lots of gum chewing and home renovations are definitely helping…

I still can’t bear to go in the garage though. Car projects on hold…

J, that’s awesome! hang in there man… pulling for ya…

where do you get these Armenian Vagcoms from?

To Jspazz, its not easy man but you will be thankful when you do it. I dont smoke cigarettes but I know how hard it is to quit smoking something, especially for someone that has a very very highly addictive personality like me. Hopefully you succeed bro, giving into your other cravings helps, just dont become an alcoholic or fatass like me.

Keep at it man. My dad quit 4-5 times (or should I say "tried). Each time, his brothers (who chain smoke) would slowly tempt him (first it was a puff, then a cig, and sooner than later it was back to normal).

I smoked some cigs in high school but it never hooked on. I like good tasting food far too much… ;D

Yup good tasting food is where its at. Only time I would smoke a cigarette (Menthols) is during snowsports but that’s only a couple of times a year and usually in vegas.

Hey thanks guys, paper, psyk. For sure I can resist a smoke…I was worried I wouldn’t have the willpower, but I guess I do…it’s just that it gets really depressing when I want one.

Going public with it helps also…I’d be way too embarrassed if I started again, at this point…I’d recommend going public with it to anyone thinking about it.

And for sure, to anyone, don’t be a hero, get the drugs…yes they help. I forgot to take it this morning, OMG, everyone at work sucked ALL DAY until i got home and took the pill, I even left work early so nobody was harmed LOL…

I am on my day 6 after 30 years of smoking. Every inure is an internal fight of the craving. Using the vaporizer - my binky.

Ya just stay away for, the white girls and snow sports and the urges will fade soon :wink:

BTW what Armenian vagcom were you guys talking about.

It sounds like you’re almost there. Congrats on your progress so far! I’ve never smoked other than an occasional cigar with the guys or a cigarette when I’m trying to pick up a chick who smokes.

My closest experience to it was when my mom asked my step-dad to stop drinking and smoking. He had been an alcoholic and chain smoker for over 20 years, but when she asked, he put them down and never picked them up again. He still did meth though…

-Skid

meth? did you say meth?
