Today, I Quit

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 744

Hi, Today I quit smoking, as I am so tired of this being a constant issue. I have smoked for 26 years and have tried to quit more times than I can count, which hasn't done much for my self-esteem at this point in my life, but I feel this time is different as I have actually anticipated this day. I just want to get past the withdrawl, past the moodiness, and finally move on to living a REAL life, one without having to stress about having that smoke. I want to get to the point where cigarettes aren't even in my thoughts and no longer control me. I know I have a ways to go, so I must stay focused and not let the nicodemon get the best of me. I WILL win this battle! :)

Miss Weak, I SO know what you mean and how uncomfortable the feeling is, and just want you to know that you are not alone.

Hi Stormy...you and I have alot in common. Today I finished reading Allen Carr's book, and before I could even go through posting my quit date, I decided to stop. It is not a "quit". It is a life style change. I cried buckets last night because I smoked. Today I am trying to say my tears are joy. However, 12 hours smoke free, I am going mad. My husband says if this is the way its going to be, please smoke. My best friend was here for lunch and didn't realize I hadn't smoked...and yet, it is the first thing she notices. I feel let down and unsupported. Imagine, two people closest to you don't even realize you haven't lite up in 4 hours. I am not a happy camper, but I quess it will get better. Go for it!

Hi Stormy Welcome to the family, we are all dysfunctional here...lol ;) I have struggled along with others..I'm virtually new also and I still have my problems and cravings but one thing about it all is that I have someone to chat with ...i can come here and address any issue or problem that i have...and always remember to address your issues but never pick up that cig again... I too be glad when that day come where i won't even think about a cig... like this morning I was in pain and guess what i normally do when i'm in pain...thats right i smoke but i kept telling myself this too shall pass...it will be alright you no longer smoke...and I went to lay down..cried a little but hey I'm ok ... Now I"m up and I'm going to go get some of that humid air out there ... :) and just do some window shopping for a while at least as long as the pain holds up .. Again welcome and good luck to you P.Loving [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/3/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 255 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $31.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54
