Easy or hard?

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 5009

I believe it is as easy or hard as you make it. We can spend too much time analysing how we feel - not always a bad thing but I think it makes quitting tough. If you start having smoking thoughts, think of something else, such as the freedom you have inherited! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 482 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 14,460 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �3,615.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 77 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Easy. Because I wanted to quit. Because I gained the knowledge to replace my fears, was positive and because: [quote] 3. On this site I was fortunate enough to join several like-minded yet very positive people on a particular thread. It was filled with humor, friendship, imagination, determination, and very positive reinforcement. I looked forward each day to reading what clever chapter the others had added, and much of my concentration focused on trying to add witty chapters of my own. These people became quit mates, yes, but more than that too. I could not have "enjoyed" a quit as much without these extremely talented people (they know who they are). Even though some of them are no longer posting regularly, we all know how to reach each other if we need our support. I see other threads now that are doing the same for many quitters, and I know how much it can help. You can find whatever kind of support you need right here, as has been mentioned several times in the last week or so. Soft love, tough love, etc. [/quote] Take what you need and leave the rest. Just don't smoke no matter what. :) (((magic huggs))) Pat [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 133 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,320 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,862.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

Well, this is an interesting thread to read, I think. I'm not past my first few months so I'll reserve further comments on my experience. Bear - I do think that would have been an interesting discussion, fwiw.

Oh gosh..... I'm almost embarresed to say this again as I have said it to so many newbies (and you guys to). Everyone knows a million and one reasons why they should quit. So you go about picking a couple of good reasons and tell yourself "I GOT TO QUIT BECAUSE............" That conotation leaves the quit on a negative note. But...... if it is something you "want" to do, your sentence will go something like this: "I GET TO QUIT BECAUSE......................." Good and happy things aren't gotta. I mean, who ever says: "Next week I GOT to take a vacation!" We say: "YIPEE.......next week I GET to take a vacation!" Hope you GET it.

These types of threads may spark some negative feeback. I have left both threads (the other from bear) to help provide important experiences for all to read. This is what the site is about; experience, support and knowledge. No-one individual is correct and we all have something to share, our quits are unique. There are many great questions in this thread and by sharing others can learn. Every opinion is welcomed, judgement is not :) Let us keep this focused and continue to share and gain information.

Not sure if mine was hard or easy. Some of it was easy, as I have never been able to make it through one day smoke free before. Chantix and this site made that part easy. If you were to ask me on one of my bad days, I would say this quit was the hardest thing I have ever done. So it depends on the day you ask. Is it worth it. YES IT IS. Quitting was the best thing I could have done for myself and for my loved ones. My advise, no matter how hard you think it is, keep going, it gets better and easier as you go along. And always, always, come here and read and post when it does get bad. The help and support from this site can't be matched anywhere.
