I am going to try cold turkey tomorrow morning

Hopefully. My name is Rachel. I have been a smoker for 20 years, i'm 34 years old. I just recently got married 2 years ago and my husband and I have decided to have a baby within the next few years and I would like to be healthy first. I also am going to start going to enroll myself in a gym in my town and I know I can't workout and smoke at the same time. I also have been drinking a lot so quitting smoking will hopefully help me wit that too.

btw. Tomorrow will be the first time I try to quit cold turkey. I just have a feeling it might not work out. But if it doesn't, i'm ready to go on the patch again.

Thank you soo much! I have been looking for the right forum to join. Preferably an active one, so it feels good to have gotten a response already. I bookmarked this page so I will definately be back tomorrow and I will start reading. :)

I am going to try cold turkey tomorrow morning

Thanks everyone. I think my first pang of fear is starting to set in. I have 3 cigarettes left for the night and i'm going to bed soon. I'm afraid when I wake up with no cigarettes, i'm going to internally freak out. I've done this at least a dozen times before. I really want to quit. My husband is a non-smoker. Hates cigarettes. I have decided not to tell him i'm quitting so he's not dissapointed in me again if I fail.

My first big meal after quitting this time

I did just fine. I took 2 tylenol pm's and went to sleep. I woke up this morning feeling angry because I dreamed that I was smoking and having a beer. I don't even drink beer, wtf. I even scolded my husband to pull it together because he couldn't put a contact in his eye. I out the patch on and it's starting to work through my system. I feel a bit better. Rachel's Quit Stats Since Sunday, September 17, 2006, I've been smoke-free for: 1 Days, 11 Hours, 14 Minutes, 41 Seconds. I have saved $5.52 by not smoking 29 cigarettes. By not smoking I have added 2 Hours, 48 Minutes, 19 seconds. to my life expectancy.

Having probelms with my stats

I was talking about the amount spent on cigarettes not on the life part. I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer. :)

I was a good girl girl today

Just give me a few more days. I'm doing good now but i'm smart enough to know the hardest is still yet to come. :)
