How do I quit something I started when I was 15!! HELP!!

Windy...I to smoked for over 20 years ...started when I was 16...I hear you and feel for you as I am sure 99 % of the people on this site do. It is not going to be easy ...main thing is to take every day one at a time and not worry about tomorrow next week or next month...tell yourself "today I won't smoke"..and don't. Use this site and your Family and Friends when you get to the breaking point...it comes down to you knowing you have to quit...and we all know the reasons...so if not now WHEN? Believe in yourself ...you can do it! ...so you might be a little depressed or anixious for awhile ..that to will pass. Good Luck and Hang in there ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/11/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 551 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,621 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1928.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 81 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 50 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

HAVE YOU MADE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE?

I am on the other side and have been for awhile...my small piece advice would be never ,even when you have been smoke free for a long time, let your guard down...never let yourself get in a situation where you convince yourself " I have quit so if I just have one smoke or one drag while I am out with my Friends having a beer I'll be ok...I've got it beat!...Wrong it's the Nicodemon trying to drag you back across to the Dark side ...so Luke don't you go there ;p Remember... "TODAY I WILL NOT SMOKE" Cheers, X -Smokey the Bear [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/11/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 593 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,121 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2075.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 88 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46

Guess What ??

From one Bear to another... a big congrats on making it past a year! Keep up the great work and before you know it smoking will be just a distant memory and you will wonder why you ever needed them to get by in the first place!
