Hey Jaset!! Congrats on one darn good post! The night before I quit I was trying to think of my "Pledge" and I came up with this: "Damn you cigarettes!!! I HATE YOU!!! You killed my Grandmother, my Dad and my Brother!!! I am no longer going to give you a chance to kill me!!! BWAAA HAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAA !!!! If you rear your ugly head near me again, I WILL PERSONALLY banish you from the earth!!!" Your post reminded me of just exactly what I feel about "them" now! I think it does make it easier to cope with the withdrawal and all of the emotions that go with this process. I think that if everyone had this kind of attitude it would be an easier quit, especially during the first few days! The Chantix also helps!!! Anyways, good luck everyone and remember that it IS a war and we cannot afford to lose it!!! Jim the demon slayer!

What a awesome post. I was one of those that was to "scared", "I hope I can do it", "not sure I am ready", what the he!! was I thinking? I watched two sister die from lung cancer and brother die from smoking related cancers. Yet I used those excuses over and over and over. Jaset, you word are direct and it is my prayer and hope they fall on someone who hears them. Your statement "you might as well put your head between your legs and kiss your ash goodby." What a visual. Your are right once they tell you you have lung cancer life is VERY short. My sisters got less than six months and my brother 2. I am so glad you posted this. It will go into my journal.

I read these threads and sometimes I get crazy, mad, understanding and most times I get pi**ed! Some of you say, "im going to try to quit" "im scared" "i hope i can do it" " im not sure if i can". Please, please step back and look at yourselvs and your life. Think of what you have to lose by smoking and who you are hurting if not already hurt. Look at the consequences if your attitude is not superior. You have to put all your attention, your efforts, all your knowledge and all your will power to beat this thing. You cant have an attitude like " ill try to quit" " i hope this time i will do it" "im scared". Scared??? you have no idea what scared is. If you think your scared now to quit, wait till that doctor tells you that you have terminal lung cancer so get your afairs in order. Thats when you should be scared. Dont be scared to quit!! OMG! Get with it. This is a life or death situation people. You only have 2 choices, you either quit, or you die! There is no iron lung that is on the market that will save you and lung transplants dont work yet. So if you all want to live to see your kids grow up or to see your grand children grauate from school, i highly suggest you take a more positive attitude. If you start spitting blood, you might as well put your head between your legs and kiss your ash goodby. Cuz your time will be short and activities will be limited. So who ever reads this and is thinking about puffing or is too scared to quit, think of how you will tell your loved ones that you have lung cancer. Explain to them how you are coughing up blood and what it feels like. Tell them that you were to scared to quit and you were weak. Tell them that you are sorry, but you cant be with them any longer cuz you couldnt beat your addiction. Tell them how you gave up and you lost at the one most important thing that you couldnt do! Smarten up people! Keep your head right and concintrate on what you are doing and it probably wouldnt hurt to keep your God close to your heart and ask him to help you with this sever problem you have. Keep the faith!
