Hey Ashley,
Congrats on quiting.. When I read your story i felt like i was reading my own. I starting smoking at 9yrs (to be cool) then I keep smoking because I too heard the same things you did. I didn't want to put on weight and like you I was a cheerleader and a dancer for 14 years. How stupid I was to think that with everything I was doing I was going to gain weight. Well no i am 30 and I have been quit for 31 days.. It's not easy but it's worth fighting for. If you ever feel like you are going to slip, just come on here post and read. Nobody will treat you like a kid. we all are here for the same reason, to stay quit and get support.. ;)

Hey Bubba,
While I agree with some of your statements I however feel the need to disagree with some.
I myself am a cold turkey no prep work done at all quitter. And I think I am doing ok. Yes granted some days are harder than others and I am not saying that this site didn't help me keep my quit but saying "lack of preparation is the most reason folks fail at this" is just not true in my opinion.
I know allot of people who have quit with no help. You were lucky that you had a program willing to pay for NRT's but most of us don't have that or have the means to pay for it. I don't think it should matter how we quit as long as we do it. And it also shouldn't matter how many time we quit and go back all that should matter is that we keep trying. I have said this before in other post and I am going to say it again.. I don't consider my self fully quit yet and I don't think that I ever will, this is a constant struggle and the moment you get to cocky and think yep I have licked it, it comes back to bite you in the arse.
I do however appreciate you voicing how you feel and am proud to see the stats you have and hope one day I can have the same. Thanks for supporting everyone.
