So, that means JJR needs to go for a vintage 'Bird, not just some stinkin' garden variety current Gibson or something. Gotta keep it in context here. Go for the most expensive smoking cessation device possible and get a 1963 Thunderbird at the same time. What's not to like?

There are many programs to help you quit. Meditation, hypnosis, laser treatments, etc. But the best predictor of success is the amount paid for hthe program. Free programs have the poorest success rates, very expensive programs have the highest success rates.

I'm going to see how the cold turkey route works first Pillo.
Luckily i've got great health insurance, so, if i feel i'm starting to crack, i'll contact my primary care doctor.
Thanks for the concern.

That was my very first bass guitar. Same metallic blue, same pick-up, bridge -- it is the model I had when I was 15. It's great to see one again!

Low dose SSRIs are very effective in controlling cravings.

Preparation for quitting day is also modestly correlated with success. The best advice around that seems to be to develop a routine around smoking, then break the routine. For example, if you always smoke while drinking coffee, switch to tea.

How ya holdin up?

 

[Off-Beat]

Only Thing is, I find myself going outside with the smokers on parties :-D

Never smoked, but always stayed with them. Most of militant non-smokers are boring people and the normal non-smokers usually follow their friends.

Pretty good- didn't buckle yesterday, first morning coffee without a cigarette in many years just now. Feels a bit strange, but I am going to get there. Keep busy.

It gets easier.
Hell, we're bass players, were tough!

Just looking out for your health!

It's the least any of us can do for each other, y'know. Maybe you really need a 1963, an Epi, and a gold 2014 Gibson. Now, there's some incentive for ya! Actually, with the price of cigarettes what it is, how long would it take to save enough for all that? A year or two?

FYI....

Good deal, IMHO:

I smoked until 26. Started karate classes and on the first day, the instructor have me a Hammer fist to the chest. Not terrible, but a hard hit. He told me he would do it to me every time until I quit. So, had an incentive
