I have decided on a quit date of Mon. the 30th. I have been on this website for about 3 hours now and I am armed with all the info and support I feel I will need. It will be hard I know, I will be moody, I will crave, I will win this battle. After 15 years of smoking, one comment from my oldest kid and the stories from all of you will get me through it! Wish me luck, I have a feeling I will be on here alot! Ang

Good luck AOD, prepare for a terrible first week and stay away from all of the smokers you know. It is hard enough to keep your quit going without temptation! This site will be extremely helpful if you need outside support-most of us do ;) I would continue to explain it all to the kids because they will see a change in you in the first while that may not be too pleasant :eg: If you know how awful the beginning is, you wont be surprised by it when it happens. I still grab a straw to chew on at my old most needed cigarrette times, morning break at work, after lunch, during times of stress, etc. Truthfully, it took about ten days of terrible withdrawl symptoms before I felt like things were going to be okay. I can now look at a smoker outside having a butt and instead of thinking "if only I could have one," I think, "wow, thank god I dont smoke anymore. Look at how pathetic that is". Good luck and come here often. We all love helping eachother :) Denisey [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 12 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 255 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $60 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

HI AOD. Welcome to your new life. You are definitely off to a great start. You are doing all the right things. Quit date,this site, and support from your family. Take this last few days to get smart about quitting. Also stock up on low fat snacks. I ate and cleaned my way through the first 2 weeks! Plan some activities to keep you busy for the first week or so, whether at home or outside. Keep Close, Keep Strong. :)[color=Red]redrosie[/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 25 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 612 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $207.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 38
