Quitting for good!


17 years ago 0 1 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I just found this site today, and set my quit date for 1/21/2007. This will be my 4th and final attempt at quitting. I can't put it off any longer. I'm a 50 year old female, who would like to be a grandmother some day. Also, I'm tired of being a slave to cigarettes.

Hi freedon1, welcome this is my 1st day of the rest of my life. I am also in my 50"s and I am a grandmother of 10. The kids hate the smell so they will be happy that I quit again and for the last time.

I feel that you can have anything in life that you want, as long as you whole-heartedly believe in yourself. Congrats on your decision and hang on to it. I keep telling myself that no matter what I do, just don't physically pick up that cigarette. Each time you make it through a crave gives you the strength to know you can make it through the next and so on. You can do it! The wonderful thing about the SSC is that no one judges you and they are here to pick you up and dust you off if you fall. Good luck to you! trace [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 168 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $72 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 21

Good for you freedom! Glad to hear you're making some quit plans. This is my umpteenth attempt at quitting as well. I WANT the quit this time so I'm using some NRT's to help me along the way. AS well as lots of wonderful support from this caring group of people. Keep posting, it really helps, and make sure to plan your quit.

HI freedom1 ~ and a warm welcome- I'm a 54 year young female and I have always been healthy BUT have never felt healthier than I do today... I can breathe like a 20 year old and I walk and walk with no shortness of breath... My doc just looks at me and says, I have no idea what you're doing, but keep doing it... YOU can do this, dear one... If your commitment to quit is stronger than the desire to light up - that's all you need - the rest is learning the coping skills you will need in the tough times... Spend some serious time here on this site... old posts are treasures, so spend time with them. Learn that time passes - so craves get weaker as the clock ticks. When a really strong crave hits, ride it like you would a surfboard on a huge wave... it will be gone before you know it. This addiction is powerful...and YOU are more powerful, friend. Just make up your mind, ground yourself and own your own power. There is nothing that can make you smoke... We're all right here... so reach out and take your shoes off and get comfortable here... this is where you will find the support you need to get through this. Blessings and Light- Healer [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 315 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 11,059 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1464.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 41 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 38 [B]Seconds:[/B] 38

Hi freedom, This is EX-slave! You can do it. I am also a fifty-ish female. A pack-a pack and a half a day for over 30 years. This is my umptenth attempt at quitting smoking and I am staying smoke free! Do the workbook on this site, plan ahead for what you are going to do to combat the initial cravings during "hell" week, (the first 7 days of nicotine withdrawal). Stay positive and educate yourself so you know what to expect. All the symptoms of withdrawal, (physical and mental), will show you what a horrible addiction smoking really is. I was tired of paying to kill myself; paying to inhale poisonous gases into my lungs. Prepare yourself, read on this site, and I will be sending you positive vibes on 1/21 (or sooner if you decide!). Congratulations on this momentous decision!
