Guess who is off the durries!!

[Mick DMember]

Funny, I have never linked smoking and sex. Coffee and grog yes. After sex, I would be asleep before I could find the lighter. :blush:

Hi Mick,

I’m off the sticks as well since the Monday following the Sofala ride, straight up cold turkey.. ..

Well done Chris, That is how you are funding all the mods to your mighty XR630 is it??

[Mark BuntingMember]

Good luck mate. Patches did the trick for me. But even after about ten years I still get the urge. A tobbaco substitute helps too

you beauty Mick.

having a go is the start they recon.

The way I done it.

I set myself a date that I would be stopped smoking by because I couldnt do it cold turkey.This date was a couple of months down the track.
I also said that I would spend the money I would have spent on smokes to buy my brand new DRZ400. However I said that I would have to be smoke free for 6 weeks before I bought the bike,I smoked 20ish a day for 25 years and I am now a non smoker and I own a DRZ400 that was brand new when I bought it,(not that you would know)so it worked for me, I also told me riding buddies my plan so I would have to do it, as they where all non smokers and the would let me know I failed.

yep I did lick the patches ,even think I rolled one up and tried lighting it at one stage

you have my support.

Great stuff Mick, I gave up 9 years ago last month.

I reckon now it only takes 5 minutes to give up smoking, there will be alot of those 5 minutes though. Each craving only last for a few minutes before something else gets your attention for a little while and you forget about it until the next time it hits but again maybe only 5 minutes and it’s gone again.
Good luck with it Mick, hope you kick it Mate.

Sort of… BTW it is a 400… she will be the best looking 400 out there though..

Posting your challenge here will work in your favor because the boys here will never ever let it go if you fail!!!!

Hang tuff mate and we can laugh about our little moments at the poker run!!

[Mick DMember]

Whoops! It must be the Nicotine patch that is stuffing me up. :blush: I knew full well Chris’ XR was a 400. I was just getting him mixed up with Capt Furious.

If you need extra help … a friend of mine who has smoked same number of years as yourself tried hypnotherapy and had great success.

Michael look into my eyes!! you are getting sleeeepieeerrrr,sllleeeeepppieeerrrrr :blink: when you awake everytime you say you want or feel like a durrie you will grab the “shed cat” which you think is an ashtray yes an overflowing butt filled stinking smelly ashtray,and lick out all his orifices you will then take this ashtray and put it down your strides and let it lash out this will continue until you no longer feel the incessant desire to have one of those stinking filthy Durries. :blink: after 3 michael you will awake 1….2…..3……snap! there you go mate thats my contribution :laugh:
I hope it works out for you. Hypnotherapy worked for my old man who has smoked Champion Ruby for over 60 years. PS I bet you look at the “shed Cat” in a totally different way now :laugh:

All that I will say is good luck Mick.

I have nothing else to give.

I have tried a few times to give up, but I am weak and have no will power. No I lie I have plenty of will power but no wont power. Kylie even bought me a new bike when I gave up, but I was quickly back to my old habits. Worst 3 months of my life off the durries.

[Craig HattonMember]

Nothing but support from me Mick, Way to Go

The best way to stop a habit is to get some help from someone close to you I dont smoke durries but I do like to use winnie blues for spin in the mix.After a few days you might get angry or you might go off for no reason after the mood swings you may be feeling something is missing like you have lost the remote or your mobile phone it will all subside over time. I use to drink heaps of wild turkey every night at Mounties club and gamble on the pokies until the sun came up the gambling and the turkey nearly killed me.I got some help from my wife {she was my girlfriend at the time} She supported me through thick and thin she held on to my atm cards and cut up my membership card to the club where I had been going since I was 18 years old at the time I was angry at myself and now Iam proud that my wife helped me with support and I don’t drink wild turkey anymore and the pokies are just a waste of time and all your money is gone.If you have a goal in mind just try to get it.The money you save you can buy some bike stuff how much is a pack of winnie reds? And as for the patches Mick don’t stick’em on ya forhead because you will look silly :laugh:

on that note Trailhack Evel Knievel (who was actually a bit of a womanising Knave truth be told) was once asked what was the most stupid thing he’d ever done and regretted, he ansered “Drinking Wild Turkey”

I did leave a bit out of that quote from Mr Kenevel. It was in fact that he drank a litre bottle every day and it was the 101 proof stuff.

Wild Turkey 101 is to be avoided. :S
