Hey Annie!!! March is magical month to quit!!! I got the Chantix and this quit has been the easiest one ever, as far as the severity of the withdrawals go. Now that I think back, I think that the lead up to my quit day was way worse than any day so far being smoke free!!! I like to think of it as a challange... a war against the demon who has been killing my family! I'm going to win... how bout you? Good luck and we'll be watching for your posts!!!

Hi, Annie and welcome to the SSC. As you can see, lots of support and great advice from your fellow members who, soon enough, you'll think of as your friends. Keep that attitude you've brought with you and stay close to this site as you start your quit. Post before and after your quit date and come in here as often as you can manage for help and to support others like us who are doing the utmost to save our lives. Have you decided whether or not you'll use a nicotine replacement or this new pill Champix? Read through the posts here and you'll get great help deciding on that matter. Looking forward to watching your quit meter count you down to health and freedom.

Annie Hi. My name is Moss and when I began this journey I was so scared and had no idea what to expect. I was terrified because smoking was so much a part of everyday life. Whatever emotional experiences you find yourself in, just know that others have been there and you are not alone. Educate yourself about what is happening to you during cessation. I am finally beginning to feel what the long timers here share with us. I can't explain why or what but it does happen. When the going gets tough, hang on to the trust that it will happen for you, too. Stay as close here as you need to. Many here will be happy to help you.

Hey Annie! Welcome to the site! Using the tools & resources really helped me out. The milestones let me know what to expect for withdrawals etc. Cause this is my first quit, it was all kinda new to me. I read everything i could on this site to prepare myself. When i quit (3 days after i found the site) i came here all the time (still do). It really does help. I came in the beginning and got soo much support from the members here, they helped me out with my questions, complaints etc. every step of the way. I honestly i couldn't have done it without the help of the people here and this site. It was also important that i kept both my mind and my hands busy. A lot of cleaning and organizing that first and second week. I stayed away from any triggers like morning coffee etc. I hope you get as much from this site as i have!

Hi Annie Welcome. Use the tools, workbooks, meter. Come back often, read post, whatever it takes. I had to admit to myself that I was an addict. I am addicted to nicotine.. and the letters you will see N O P E mean NOT ONE PUFF EVER. I am one puff away from a pack a day. Reward yourself often... especially the first couple weeks... your brain thought nicotine was a reward for a craving .. so you have to retrain. Ice water helps a LOT. I carry a bottle of water with me.. everywhere. (ok I leave it in the car..) for one reward I bought a Cute refillable water bottle. Before you light a cigarette come here and post. wait for 5 or 10 replies... There are so many great people here to help keep you on track [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/10/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 27 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 459 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $72.29 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 21 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57
