Why do I keep failing

Hey Bill, None of us are any better than you... our stress levels increase and we get frustrated. Some of us do it alone, some with help, were all different. Only difference between you and us is were setting our mind to quitting smoking. Thats what you need to do man. It ain't easy. Make the committment by filling out the stuff on the left side. Come here and post often. Stay here and wait for answers. Your not alone Bill. Focus on why you want to quit. Then build from there.

Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?

Hey G, Were in this together... hang in there. Like you, this is the longest I've been smoke free for almost 30 years. I don't believe the "Cravings last one minute" garbage either. Day 12 (last Friday) was the killer for me... (My "HELP!!!" Posts) Soon I hope I'll have good days. :) Take care, Ron [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 16 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 573 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $108 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 56 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42

The last one - new life

Hi Parola, Welcome aboard on your first offical "Quit Day". You are very right, It will be very difficult. And if you are like me, the first week it was on my mind constantly to fight off wanting a smoke. My mind would not me forget that I was quitting smoking. Good luck to you, and were all here for you!
