Yeah, Hammer! Congratulations on your decision....what a gift you are giving yourself. Sounds like you have been doing some planning..that's always helpful. Pamper yourself, rest, drink lots of water, do whatever you have to do to just not take one puff. Post a message with the word Help in it if you need to, and someone will come along and talk with you. Do that BEFORE you smoke, okay? Read lots, post as much as you feel comfortable with. And again, welcome to this journey for your life -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 143 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,720 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $972.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 19 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 6

Cigarettes Not Smoked

Hey Niks... I like the bit about the letter... I'm wondering if helped you with the desire to smoke? I found once I let go of my unconscious reasons for smoking, the rest of it was no big deal. Maybe you've come up with a good technique here.

Hello Hammer, I say if You can use some sort of medication to quit smoking, then by all means, Do It, ''And Ounce of Prevention, Is Worth a Pound of Cure,'' If Not, Then You Fight Fire, With Fire, You find a Substitute to combat the loss of cigerette addiction, in otherwords, You give up one addiction, and Now You need one to replace it, How about Excerciseing, I mean Walking like 2 miles everyday, and I mean, Everyday, and maybe start eating a good healthy diet, and hopefully this take Your mind from cigerettes, or better yet, Join a health club for 3 or 4 months, that should get You out of that dark tunnel and into the day light of not smoking, You do what works for You Friend, You Expermient, Have a good journey, Smokless In Oklahoma :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/10/2003 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1614 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 48,420 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $6,907.92 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 377 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Hammer I agree with Sullydog, maybe you need help. I used Chantix and I am now almost 6 months quit. The Chantix was expensive for me because my medical did not cover it. I found out though that I was spending more on the smokes then I would be on the Chantix, so to me it was worth it to spend the money and be able to quit. Chantix was my life saver and this site. I could not have done it completely without the friends I made on this site. There is a wealth of information on there and just a great group of people who want to help you. I wish you the best of luck and let us know if we can help.

Hey Hammer, a long time ago (more than a year) I quit smoking. I wrote a letter to my cigarettes Entitled goodbye my friend.... its on here somewhere but i dont know where? I think I cried when i wrote it, as I realised that my cigarettes had been there for me through thick and through thin, through good and through bad. Ups and downs. As i got to the end of the letter, I realised that actually it wasnt my friend at all. It took all my money, my energy, my looks, my youth, ... no friend does that to you... Cigarette is not your friend, its your enemy. Good luck x [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/18/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 173 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,325 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1,297.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 15 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31
