Thanks so much everyone for your kind words of encouragement. Stormy you can do it! This is just what I was looking for. I did not want to have to go to meetings, been there done that, worked for awhile then the group was over. I just can't wait till my quit day so I can get this on the road. I chose a time when I will be in conferences all day and can't smoke anyway and I will be away from home, busy, busy. Today I have gone hours between cigarettes today which is my way to plan the big quit. Can't wait until I am no longer a slave to those nasty things. That's the way I feel, like they just control me and I am not a person that likes to be controlled. In fact I really am a take charge get a lot done person so why I ever allowed myself to become so attached to cigs I will never know. So anyway, I just want to be free from them so I can go without looking for a lighter, leaving work to drive around to smoke so no one will see me then spray gobs of vanilla spray all over me, including my hair. It is just crazy. I don't like the smell now and what makes me think you can't smell it on ME! So mentally I am there, I just have to actually get it done. So I know how you all feel and I am so proud of all of you who have already faced your quit day and are on the road to independence and look at all the Money your saving and time your adding to your life!!! You are my heros for actually quitting and helping others like me to get to that day too. Thank YOU! CD

Just started with the program tonight. So ready to quit and need lots of encouragement. I have tried many times to end up smoking more than ever. I want to feel better and have more energy and I know smoking is hurting me. I just grab and light before I even know what I am doing. Tomorrow I plan to delay my first cigarette by 1 hour from waking then stay away from the computer since that is my weak time with smoking. Quit day is July 19th. Any help appreciated.

Your a star CD, just for even thinking of quitting-thats a start. Im Jacko and I have a profile on this thread somewhere as I`m on my 6th day today. Read as many as you can, go on the journey and read and take in all the info. Im on Zyban and USED to smoke 40-80 butts/fags/cigs/rells/smokes/cancer sticks a day, now NONE!!! Its done wonders for me Zyban but this site is that bit extra you have to go to continue on your journey. Even tho` Im new here too, for me, 6 days is a lot after 30 ish years of the demon so if I can do it, so can you!!! Look forward to seeing futher posts from you. Good Luck Jacko in Newton, Warrington, UK (Smokless for 5 days 7 hours and 35 mins-BUZZIN`) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/27/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 254 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Cd and Stormy, What has helped me.... 1) Reading Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking book. This explains the myth of the addiction so much better than I can. Do this now! 2)When I craved a cig, remembering why I decided to quit. Going back to 1) above to remind myself that this is a nasty addiction that I must break free of 3)Reading here and arming myself with knowledge of quitters' experience. Knowledge is Power (I'm quoting somebody else on this site) 4)Posting in order to help others having difficulty 5) Using the virtual reward areas here as targets in my quit: The Clifftop Cafe 14-50days quit, Cruise Ship 50-100 days, The beach 100 days plus and so on 6) Retaining a sense of humour and having a bit of a laugh with people here all the best ..4 legs good 2 legs bad Mr Ed ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 139 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,183 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1042.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 23 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 50 [B]Seconds:[/B] 23

Hi CD and welcome - You have found the right place for support and guidance, that's for sure. Take the time to read as much as possible here, and post often. The Quit journey is tough, it's the toughest thing I have ever done, but it's worth it. Make sure to get as much clarity as possible about why you're quitting, and build your toolbox with coping skills for the tough times... N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever) if you can do that, you can Quit. Let us know how we can support you!
