to begin, you must want to quit...worse than you want to smoke. If you feel that you "can't" take the first few days????? then talk to a doctor or pharmacist about using nicotine replacement therapy (these are "weaning" tools when used as directed and have helped lots of quitters)...a doctor could also prescribe one of a couple of medications that might help you through the roughest times. Check out the tools to the left...especially the workbook. also do a search for "guide to the first 72 hours"....that will give you an idea what to expect as you rid your body of nicotine. and it's always best to pack a suitcase and gas up the car before taking a journey....preparing to quit is no different....and it CAN make the difference between success and failure.....good luck...this site is a good thing to keep close to also!

cd and fern.....have you considered that quitting isn't a "sentence"...it's you, "choosing" to not light up. Saying to yourself, "Oh God, I can never, ever again smoke will put the best intentioned quitter into a panic." Don't go down the "forever" road at this point.....try to stay in the present.....just "choosing" to not light up. ( first off, you destroy all your smoking materials..ALL of them!) [u]Plan[/u] small actions that will help to distract and delay you from going for smokes when the urges come. Just keep "putting off". When you haven't smoked for half or a whole day..??....well reward yourself in some small way. Keep these little treats planned ahead too. they will help to keep you focused on choosing NO to the smokes. I was a 2pk and over a day smoker....I was one of those people who would panic when I was home with only 5 smokes and the thought of the rest of the day ahead of me. I would rip someone's face off to get a smoke....I would be wild when faced for a period of even a few hours without a smoke. Quitting for me was NOT easy.....but you know, I got mad.....mad that this stupid addiction was literally "running" my life....and I used that anger to maintain the control and keep saying "no".......you can do this too. I promise.....NO ONE has died from quitting.....not ONE of us! Lay some plans, grab hold on here and get it done.....you CAN win Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1799 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 71,993 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10254.3 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 234 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 16 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19
