Hello.. I sure will need help quitting

Hello Steve,
I'm a long time smoker too. My last quit was over six years ago using the patch and this site. I used Chantix this quit and was amazed how well it worked for me. Hope it is the same for you!

Am I crazy?

Hi Theresa,
Ditto what everyone else said. We've all been where you are today and you will survive this bump just as we did. My only suggestion would be to ask Mom to keep her smokes out of sight until you are more secure in your quit. I'm sure Mom is proud of what you are doing and just needs to know they're a temptation to you now. Who knows, Mom may be watching to see how you do. Hang in! You can do this!

Hello All -- Day One

Hello RiverDaughter7 and Gobs!
We've all been where you are right now (and lived to tell about it). One puff  = six more years of nonstop smoking for me. Boy, I learned my lesson from that! Stick with us! You can do this!

To tell or not to tell?

"I think not telling anyone because of the possibility of failure for me would be like giving myself an acceptable excuse to  fail."
Wow!
Thank you Theresa!

I can't Believe It

Congratulations! One fifty has a nice ring to it, eh?  One puff cost me six more years of non-stop smoking. I don't want to go back there again! I'd much rather crave than cave! A positive attitude  makes all the difference. I enjoy your posts as well! Keep up the great quit!
