Kate from Greece

Hello Everybody, i'm glad i found this site and i see that there is a lot of support in here. So,i'm 28, i started smoking about 10 years ago but i never smoked more than 10/day. Maybe just during 1 or 2 small periods in my life. I don't want to smoke anymore.To be honest,i don't enjoy..i don't remember i even enjoyed one cigarette all these years..well,maybe one or two. But i always feel sick in my stomach..my throat...bad smell..bad taste... and everything on me smells bad (hair,clothes... yuch). I set my quit day today..but then i read that women in PMS period they'd better not try...so i put the 19th June as my quit date. just a little support..advice... would be appreciated. thank you all!! hugs

I see in your profiles how many days you are without a cigarete... And it makes me smile..yet it seems so difficult!! I remember the last time i decided to try, i convinced a friend too... he did it... i think it's more than 5 months that he didn't light a cig...And i was the one to tell him to quit together. He just did it!!! :mad:

Hello!!! You're all so great! Thank you all for your answers and your advice and everything! I'm in Athen which is trying to get warmer and sunny. It's been cold the last few days, cold,rainy,cloudy...yuchy... I'm getting in the mood and psychology to stop this thing. I thought that while Pack My Suitcase and keeping myself busy,it would be better to smoke less than usual.. and it's going good so far. Thank you guys.. i'll keep you informed.. i'm just spending a lot of time reading posts etc in here and it's so useful!! ;)

I feel good, great and never better !!!

Hello Dutch Fini, it seems that you are doing great and that's GREAT! well,i started smoking when i was 18..till 28...not 30 cigs a day but enough to make me feel bad. And i alwasy thought i would be easy to quit..but i didn't want to quit. It's been quite sometime that it bothers me the smell of my hair,of my clothes..my bad taste,my sick stomach etc etc etc.. So,i said let's do it. Let's think like a non smoker.And it's working like this. And it feels better..no bad smell,no bad taste,no sick stomach. No i just think why i didn't do it earlier! A big kiss from cloudy Athens-ready to rain?
