HI!! I am new here and I want to quit smoking more than anything!

Hi cowgirlndlace,
 
As our wonderful members have said, its important that you don't focus on the setback and keep going forward. Some people quit cold turkey, and others ween themselves off. This is your path , and you will form one uniquely for yourself.
 
When ever you do feel like you want to smoke, come to the forums and share your thoughts and feelings. We will be here to support and everystep of the way.
 
What did you tell yourself before you had the cigarette? What can you say differently next time?

I quit smoking today

Hi Ojamas,
 
Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here.
 
The first week is the worst, thats why we call it Hell Week. When you are rethinking your decision, here are somethings you can do
*Remind yourself of all the reasons that you want to quit.
*Drink lots of water, and mix it up. Have ice water or water with lemon. When you use to reach for a cigarette reach for a glass of water.
*Come on the forums and post about how you're feeling.
*Visualize yourself as a non smoker. Whatever it is that  you want to achieve by not smoking, imagine yourself doing it and how you would feel
 
Get started with the program as soon as you can. Be kind and patient with yourself!
 
Keep posting!

Cigarette package labeling

Ojmas,
 
Your thoughts are not crazy at all. I think we've all thought about a world with no cigarettes and wondered, if they do us so much harm, why does the government still allow them to be sold.
 
Members, what are your thoughts?
