Topic: I only have~~~ | |
---|---|
1 1/2 packs of smokes left. I'm kinda getting 'sick' of smoking!! I am going to finish what I have, and after that, chew gum, eat mints, or go for a walk. I really want to try and quit. I figure I'll feel a whole lot better when I do. I'll be 'out' of smokes Friday morning, so I'm going to start my quit days then!! Wish me luck!! I've tried quitting before, did for a while, but picked 'em up again!! This time, I want to be done comepletely!! I need some support from my friends here, and of course my family will be behind me, cuz they've been asking me to quit for years!!

Kuddos to you and the best of luck come the first week of January it will be 7 years for me. Cold turkey from 3 packs a day...
I used straws that I cut up to chew on and to hold like cigarettes,sugar free hard candy and then the days it was real bad I did a lot of yard work or cleaned house fiscal work was for the days that the urges were the worst. I also figured out how much I would save a month and used a 1/2 of what I saved to buy me something I wanted or treat myself to a real nice dinner or outfit......for at least the first 3-4 months as a bonus for not smoking...... It helps to have a goal to focus on for unless quitting is something you really want to do it is really hard to follow through with it.... I wish you only the best just don't give in to those urges when they happen get busy real busy work out walk what ever it takes....good luck.. |

It can be done.
I'm going on two months. A little hard candy. No patch, gum or anything else. I had to visualize smoking as a death wish and realize I would rather live than die. Best to ya'! |

It totally can be done. I just decided that I wasn't wasting anymore money buying cancer...I've got enough to deal with right now. Just stopped one day. Now that's not to say it was easy (or that I haven't cheated)...but I've done fairly good for 3 months. So, CONGRATULATIONS!
