Hello, I have just quit and so far so good. Some of you may know my mom Mercy. She has inspired our whole family to quit including my husband. You may also know my second inspiration, CAL7773.. I am okay for now, taking one day at a time and praying alot! I keep trying to remind myself not to think about my next day off( which scares me the most) and just think about now and maybe think about the rewards i set up for myself.
I have not smoked 33 cigarettes!! YEAH!!! 1 whole day now..

Thank you all for the support! Today is a little tougher. I am finding that even though I am using the Chantix, you still crave that smoke mentally. I am not able to have my morning coffee at home because that is when i would have my first smoke. I love the way i smell now and i continually put on handcreams all day because it smells so good. Both my husband and i are coughing a bit and then we look at eachother and say.. Good our body is healing.. So I am still doing good and just working on today!! My new Motto is:
If you loo at what you do not have in life, you don't have anything. If you look at what you have in life, you have everything.. Amen..
Cal7773- I love you too sister!! Wow your almost at 90-days!! YEAH>. I love popcorn too.. ;p
Peace is just a prayer away...

okay so I am back on. I am really having a bad time today. I talked to Mom ( mercy) and she gave some good advice. I took my 2 70lbs dogs for a walk at the same time( must be trying to punish myself) and i think i have dog walking rage..lol. For some reason when others say me walking these 2 beast it was like they made a B-line for me, which i had to quickly change routes to avoid the other dogs or lose an arm...
I am agitated. YUCK my brain is working on me full force today. I am on an 1 hour fighting the urge. It goes away for a minute and comes back with a vengence.
I am trying to fight.. and not feel sorry for myself. I even bought Peppermint Oil ( because the smell is strong and soothing) i have but so much under my nose my nostrils are burning.. LOL HELP!!

by the Grace of God i made it through...YIKES> it was by the skin of my teeth. I was very angry, I was mad that i started smoking at 19, i was mad that i have to quit the one thing i felt i enjoyed, i was mad that it seems effortless for my husband to quit cold turkey and i struggle taking medicine that i get sick on. I know that at times you fall into the pity party but WOW. this time there was no way out. That Urge to smoke really was on me all night. I went to a comedy club with my husband and another couple( all non smokers) and it wasnt until an Hour ago the urge let up.. This was a really bad day. I only hope for my sake and those around me tomorrow is better.
Thanks to you all for the support. I surly would have talked myself into smoking by now.. My mom( mercy) told me that this site is really what helped her get through this and i can see why..

I fell this morning off my wagon. I have stressful event comming up next weekend so i have to reset my Quit date for October 29th. I am not able to throw the rest of the pack out. I am so ashmed and frustrated with myself, I keep crying. You see my Husband and i would like to have a baby and i will need to go on some fertility medicine and I want to Quit before we start this process( he is so wonderful). I dont want to be a smoker, i am so mad that it has such control over me! I want to be strong like my sister and my mom and i cant belive i fell so short. For all new Quitters... Dont let feel sorry for your self, You will set yourself in such a tail spin. I will still be on here this next week feed my brain with more and more knowledge to fight harder and WIN..

Secondly, i did not have cigarettes around i bought them this morning on my way to work..
I will quit again, and i understand that my thinking has to change as you pointed out in my sentences.. Thank you for the suggestions..

So with some more reading and how much i am crying i have decided that the cigarettes will be gone by 1pm today. I will be getting rid of them so that i can look at the 2 i had this morning as a mistake a slip not a complete failure!! I spoke to Cal7773 this am( my sister) who was a little harsh, but truthful and she gave it to me straight, and said well it doesnt look like your ready or you would have only bought on pack!!! She was right and i got mad at smoking!! So thats the end of that. I am on the wagon and ready to fight again!!! So Dont count me out Rusty!! I am here.. and the next time i feel like i am having the worst time ever!! I know i need to do more than be angry!! I am going to say NO!! and take a Nap or walk until the urge is gone ( or the bad attitude) or... remember if i start,, it will take me months to stop!! there is no such thing as i will smoke what i have and start again. thats the addiction.. I am better then the addiction. and if i am angry at a situation, i am actually dealing with it verses sucking it down with cigarettes.. It is okay to have feelings.. I dont have to hide them with Smoking..
YEAH.. So take my number of smokes not smoked minus 2.. and my meter is still going!!!
