Hi Good Morning! :)

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 5

You sound an awful lot like me-I honestly like smoking, but I know it's a deadly habit. Its almost like saying that we like the idea of slow suicide, I guess. I'm glad to have found this place, as well. I wish you much luck-I'll be attempting Day One tomorrow.

Its so wonderful that someone decided to create a site like this one. Its even more comforting to see all you people here supporting one another to over come a nasty and powerful addiction. I have been smoking for about 30 years. I have had a few attempts at kicking the habit, but I knew I was lacking that committment. Honestly I liked smoking. As sick as that may sound, its true. As it is or was true for many others here. As a result I followed what I truly wanted rather being sensible. I smoked again. Now I truly want to break this addiction. For me, it has become a fight, nicotine addiction vs. myself. I will do what it takes to win this battle...and the first step is to get educated so I can get an idea of what I am dealing with. This is my reason for being here. Also being here gives me a place to begin affirming that I win in this personal battle.

Thank you to everyone for your words of support. These tools are very helpful. I am working on the Smoker's Diary and recording the urges.

Cinda, Good Morning to you and great job on your first day as a non-smoker! When you have some time read as much as you can from this site about what to expect and try to come up with some strategies as to how you'll deal with tough situations. Preparation will do wonders. The other big component to success is a good attitude and you've got that one down so good on you. Oh, also start thinking of some rewards for yourself. They do not have to be expensive or even material things but they really do help. And yes, you CAN win this personal battle [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/5/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 675 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 13,508 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3037.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 50 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15
