7 hours and 15 minutes to go

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 650

Hello everyone, I have decided to quit smoking for quite a few reasons. I have smoked for the past 22 years, I have tried multiple times to quit, but always started up again. This time I want it to be "the ONE". COPD runs in my family I have seen the devasting effects of it, and I do not want it to happen to me. Smoking is a crutch and it is time I learn to stand up without it. When with friends, I do not smoke because I do not want it to bother them, and I am also ashamed of smoking in front of them, the same for family gathering. I am doing it cold turkey, I know I am a stubborn person, and I can be stubborn and say no to a cigarette. What might be really helpful too, is my husband is also quitting at the same time as I will.

WOOT WOOT!!!! I quit today too! I smoked my last one last night and put the patch on this morning. I am stubborn too but I know that stubborness wont get me to quit alone. Good luck. YOU and YOUR HUBBY will feel better and be able to do so many more things together when you are 90! ;)!!!! I am not like some on here, I dont want to find the anger in this to motivate me, I want to find only the positive aspects to make me stronger and able to give these nasty things up again. I did do a hypnosis once, which it worked but about 2 weeks later I said well I wonder if what the guy said ( imagine that your cigg is a straw and you are sucking out of a toilet) would really happen and BAMMM!!!! I was hooked again. Now why on earth I wanted to know if that worked, I will never know...hehe! Keep the faith and be positive! I am almost at 24 hours and even though I am nervous and anxious and want to tear things up, I just look at my husband and kids pictures (becuase they arent back from vacation yet) and see all the reasons right in front of my eyes. I want to live to be able to tease them about having grey hair! hehe! Happy 2007!!!!!

Good for you, Loulou! I quit today. I'm like you... never smoked in front of friends or family. It will feel good not to have to leave to smoke! Good Luck!

Loulou - Good luck and Happy New Year. No great words of wisdom here other than 'you can do it'! Read about smoking as much as you can. Read Allen Carr's book. Knowledge is freedom.
