Hello people, Let me reintroduce myselfe if I may. My name is Jaset, been without a smoke for a long time now. Not quite a year, but almost. I was a 1 to 2 pack a day smoker for close to 30 years. Went through hell and back many times, always losing in the end. That is, until I stumbled across this site. Since then, I have won my battle with nicotine. I even lost 60 lbs since my last post. Well, my live IS GREAT! I feel fantastic and my kids are so proud of what I had done. It was no picnic, no easy way out, just determination and honesty. But if I can do it, u all can do it. When you get as far as I did, your cravings will be 99.9% gone. You will not even think of smoking. The best part of it all is you will feel so good like you did before you decided to become an idiot like me. Your whole life will change, your attitude about smoking will never be what it was, you will feel like someone that has no medical worries. You no longer will say to yourself, "I wonder if I will get lunge cancer". Because you just dont think about it. So to you all, keep your attitude positive. This site is the best place for us all. Good luck to you all.

Right You are Angelcapp,there's been several members having some trouble, I thought maybe a little "tough love" was needed.

Wow Lainey, Thanks for the bump. And we think we have problems! How unimportant most of your daily problems are when you look at it like this. As one of my friends always says, there is always someone out there who has it worse then you do, so suck it up and keep on going!

well said! Its time to get tough. Next time anyone thinks about smoking, think about laying on a cold sterile table in a hospital, in a cat scan room, being prepped for a long skinny needle to go into your lung, to take a sample and see if it is cancer. Then think about the long anxiety filled wait to find out from your doctor if it was indeed cancer. No i wasnt on the receiving end of this, but the giving end, since i am one of the techs that help perform this procedure. I have seen the fear in peoples eyes, and heard the comments about should have given up smoking. I hope and pray that I will not be in that situation some day, but I smoked, so you never know. These are the things I think about when I get a craving to smoke. The images are vivid in my mind and never far away.

Just wanted to say after reading this whole thread. I think we need to read this once a month. A good read like this, that lays it all out before you in black & white, is a stark contrast to the most of the posts I have seen, but oh so very much eye opening. So just in case you forgot why you quit in the first place...
