Take the challenge - let me know what happens.

Thank you Anna. I've been really crabby and annoying for the past five days. This post came just in the nick of time. Cravings are great because they remind me why I shouldn't start smoking again. If quitting was really easy it would be a lot harder to stay away from this nasty habit. From now on all I am going to say to my self is remember how wrotten you felt when you first stopped STUPID. So don't be STUPID or you'll have to go through it all over again. That's my positive spin on it. Thanks again.

Ok, I'm brand new here and I really am not even sure how to post or if this is the right place to do it. I have been told by my doctor (several months ago) that I have COPD and I am expecting my first grandchild in the spring. I really, really want to quit this time (can't tell you how many times I've tried before). I have picked a quit date of December 2 - you guys think that's too far away? I don't want to lose my motivation, so maybe I should move it up. Not sure if anyone will see this, but I'll check back later to see. Thanks

Cheers Anna. I understand exactly what you are saying and you are completely right. My other quits were always "Oh poor me, I am missing out. I have lost a friend. I can't relax, I can't celebrate. Life seems so boring." Needless to say, none of them lasted more than my willpower lasted - about 3 weeks max. This time, I am so damned happy, it's like someone has slipped something into my coffee - I am free, I am in control, I smell good, I am richer, I look good (skin glowing, teeth/eyes brighter). I am calm, peaceful and accepting of being a non-smoker. I don't look at smokers with pity, disdain or disgust - to smoke is their choice, to not smoke is mine - neither of us is a better or worse person. I logged onto the site yesterday and realised that 8 weeks had just passed, and I hadn't even realised it! Amazing, when in the early days, time seemed to sometimes drag, now it is flying. Good luck to all newbies. You can do it, believe it in your heart of hearts. Get prepared, get ready and get living!

I just spent my time reading this entire thread befor seeing your last post, those 3 words really let the newbies (or newbies again!)know how supportive everyone on this site is - there aren't words to express the impact these posts can have on someone going through a really rough patch, particularly when the urge is almost too strong to resist. Thank you Anna.
