Hard to do

I know my health is failing. I'm tired of coughing. I start out strong and then weaken. I don't want to die hooked up to a respirator and gasping for air. I can't gas my car up because the temtation is too strong to run in and grab smokes, thinking one won't hurt but I know it will. My husband is going to gas it up for me for awhile. Next year I am going to Egypt and climbing Mt. Sinai and will never make it smoking. I need support and a buddy to talk to.

New guy

I have smoked for 35 yrs. and my health is failing. I know how hard it is for you and am praying for you. I know how you feel about why bother quitting now but you don't want to die hooked up to a respirator gasping for air. Think how your family would feel and what a horrible way to die that is. ITS NEVER TO LATE! Hang in there and you will feel better.

When the family wont help

Don't think about your family not be supportive. In the end the only one you can count on is you. Just hang in there. My husband smokes and he is not going to quit but won't bring smokes around me in any way shape or form. I would get healthy and then find another husband.

The toughest crave of the day.

Face it head on. Keep up the great work. Don't let them take your health and money.

I HAVE FALLEN

Don't stress about falling off the wagon, get back on. You learned a lesson and you should be proud of yourself. I have also fallen in the past and it took me several times to figure it out. Your mind plays tricks on you so don't beat yourself up. You are not a failure.

Great job. I'm on day 4 and proud too. I know you and I can make it and begin a new life. Are you breathing better?

Trouble sleeping

I have tried the patch too. I had terrible nightmares and this time I am going cold turkey and so far so good. Just give it time and your sleep may work its way out and if not call the Dr. and ask him.

Day 1

Day 2 and going strong. So far its not as hard as I thought it would be. This group is great because it lets me know there are others with the same problem. Today I wasn't tempted when a man lit up next to me maybe because he didn't smoke the cigs I like. Just taking one second ast a time.

Day 1

This is day one and so far it isn't bad. I'm going cold turkey as I have tried the patch and only have nightmares on it. Cleaned the car out and taken away all evidence of smoke. I plan on having wild sex when I feel better. I will make it through day one and on to day 2.
