Hi everyone,
I have been wrestling with the idea of quitting for some time now. I have been a smoker since i was 16...and I just kept telling myself that I would quit when i got older. Well, 7 years went by and after 4 unsuccesful and half-hearted attempts, i decided to search the web and I found this site. So far, (its only been an hour, haha) I feel better going into this attempt than I felt about any of my others, which were 3 times cold turkey and once using a patch. I had my sister with me, hiding my cigarettes and doling them out to me slowly, but i think the reason that didn't work is because i knew they were there, and if i begged hard and long enough, i would get what i wanted (looking back--i actually did BEG! for a gd cigarette!) i'm sure this will be tough but i'm counting on the support i can give and recieve on this site in order to help. Thanks for taking the time to read this...if there's anything I can do to make it any better for anyone, please let me know.
btw...it's amazing to see the # of cigs ppl have NOT smoked. I never really thought about how quickly those things add up!
