Think about your lungs and that might help


Morning (((sexy)))

Good Luck Steve....have quit in the past but like a fool went back to it.

Just in the last few days have thought I need to quit right now, because it has taken me 3 days to smoke a pack of cigs. After being sick all week, then when I try to smoke I just end up hacking and coughing even worse.

i been ready.. started when i was 13 ..now am 41 .its time to quit

I quit for a little over 2 weeks and started again
Quit again a few days ago ..hopefully i'll make it this time
I find that if i busy myself doin other things then i dont think about it.
Also gum and lollipops help me
Good luck with it!

congrats! live long and prosper!!

OUCH BABY! Good for you! I quit 6 months ago, and am FINALLY starting to feel human again. I have been a seriously unhappy puppy for a long time, and it didn't help when mom would watch Oprah and then call to tell me being depressed and cranky was perfectly normal!!! In the past when I had tried to quit everyone would ask me how it was going... every time someone MENTIONED smoking, I wanted a cigarette. So I told everyone that the subject was taboo. If I wanted to talk about it I, I, I, would bring it up. This helped.
You can do this. It's not for anybody but you. Be strong. Write to me if you need someone who understands!

i have this cd.. from a open talk.. from aa... and this guys says his name my name is ...... am 24 hours off of nicotine and i hate you!!!

One problem i have found with trying to quit is, my best friend babysits for me and shes a heavy chain smoker.
I keep tellin her now she has to go outside to smoke
I used to let her smoke in my room only since i smoked.
I come home from work and shes been in my room again smokin.
I had to start lockin my door so she wld have to go outside.
Its pretty bad when i wld come home even when i still smoked and as soon as i wld walk past my bedroom, the smell was soo bad from her chain smokin up there it wld turn my stomach..

well for now on no smoking in my apartment i made that rule yesterday..

good luck to you Steve! Just making the attempt makes you successful. I need to as well. I can give a million excuses why it's not a good time but they're really only excuses.

yea..i made that rule for my house too

The good thing is no one else at work smokes so i cant bum one off anybody!

i have never smoked so i don't know what its like to quit.

Keep at it as it will get harder but try to keep your self busy get a hobby of some sort. good luck

i think me having emphysema is good reason.. suz

OMG ((((((((((((Steve)))))))))))))

When did you find that out? And you didn't tell me? You'd better take care of yourself, don't make me come up there and kick your ass!

promises promises.. i found that out friday just didnt say anything didnt have th guts to stop till saturday morning 330am.. thats wheni put on the patch

Steve...

Congratulations, one day at a time as you know. I quit when I found out that I was pregnant with my son. It was easy for me. Most people that I know that have quit...say that it is a terrible addiction. I would have suck on candies or gum to chew on. Like most addictions....get ready for another one. One generally replaces another one, when we try and quit. Some just never go away........

i finally quit for good almost 16 yrs ago. for me, i had to just use will power to make it for the first 3 days. these are the hardest. you gotta keep busy and stick with nonsmoking friends and stay away from any situations where you would normally light up. if you can make 3 days, you are halfway there. make a commitment to get through the week. it's still hard but not as bad as the first few days. then if you can make a week go for two then a month. After a few weeks you will have much much diminished need. but i went as long as a year without and went right back into the habit on previous attempts to quit.

i tried this technique several times but it eventually did work for me...

best of luck in kicking it for good! it will likely be one of the most difficult and rewarding things you ever do...

Think about what you could do with all the extra money in a years time.....that's enough to make anybody quit....add it up!!!
