I'm on my way...

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 3

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words. As for my March 30th quit date, well...I'm a planner. I would be setting myself up for failure without a good, solid plan. I've already started to cut down and I am hoping that the transition to none will be less painful that way. Keep in touch everyone!

Cigarettes Not Smoked

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 3

Hi everyone...I started smoking when I was 18 years old after swearing for many years that I would never smoke. Growing up both my parents were smokers and I hated the way our house, cars and clothes smelled. I'm now 34 and can't even remember why I started in the first place. I've never liked smoking and still hate the smell, but I still do it for some reason. I've tried to quit 3 times before. The first time I managed to quit for 5 years. The second time for about 4 months and the third time for about 1 month. BUT I am on my way...over the last 7 months I have changed my lifestyle drastically. I joined Weight Watchers and lost 50 lbs so far,I excercise 4-6 times per week and now quitting smoking is my next goal. My quit date is set for March 30th....wish me luck!
