Don't Quit

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 1985

Spoken like a true CallMeMomMom, Our choices are 1) smoker or 2) non-smoker, no in betweens. That is just the way it is. You get use to just not doing, what you should not be doing anyhow. There are things that to be avoided! Great post CallMeMomMon!

Occasionally I think of having a cigarette...not because of stress, nor because of the addiction necessarily, but just because there were times (tho' not many) that I really enjoyed the taste, like many say about a expensive cigar or a fine wine. Now and then I enjoyed the experience...the smell of freshly lit tobacco, the feel of the smooth paper between my fingers, the rush as the nicotine hit my brain, soothing and relaxing me... Then my common sense takes over and I say "Why?" What would I gain? Nothing. What do I have to lose? Lots. Now that I have quit for this long a time, why in the world would I want to tempt myself again? I know I wouldn't want just one cigarette...it would have to be one pack...or one carton....or more. I would be back to 2 packs a day real fast! NOPE, I'll just stay quit with the rest of you. Happy holidays to all!

Lady, we have the same motivation for staying with our quits! This is my one shot and I am making the most of it. Luckily, the wonderful peeps at the SSC are my stabilisers, so it's not easy to fall off.

It's good to hear from folks who are smokeless for longer periods and to hear good things. I am at the 1 month point and still have some cravings but not overbearing. I have done many things smoke free that I used to smoke in between or after these activities like, work, chruch and playing music and have gotten used to them without smoking. I guess the hollidays are one more thing and I don't see too many problems. Chantix helps but I want to stay stopped for my longevity and for the memory of my parents who died as the result of smoking. all the best [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]11/17/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 23 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 391 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $92.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Hello Lady, Yes, this is my first holiday season without smokes and I have had more craves than is normal. It's become a daily thing again and it's alright, I'm doing fine. It's funny how they're more than just notions again (like early on), but I know this too shall pass. I hope you're doing well this season.

Ladybug... I'll never be able to tell stories like you do. John W.. so good to see you here. Look at the stats of the quitters on this post. We are proof that quiting can be done and the quit can be kept! Don't quit quitting no matter what. Your first Christmas season without the smokes may be kind of tough with the temptation of all those family members that go outside to smoke. Don't get sucked in. Stand strong and make it through. It is so worth it. I promise.

Who said the average quitter quits about 7 times???? I tried OVER 107 times!! :8o: Nicotine is a very powerful addiction. Stay far away from the nicotine juice. Your quit deserves "respect".

Hey Lady, Congraulations on those Stats, And Yes!! I know You, You make heep big Medicine on this website, You are quite right, learning to ride a bicycle and to kick the cigerette habit, does have a lot similarity, when You fall off, You get back on, You don't never give up if You want it bad enough, I just remember all the time during my first and second year of quitting, how long it was going to be, before I slipped, I am happy to say that it never happened, Remember that old saying down through the years, '' Time Heals All,'' I am now a true believer in that saying, the longer that I went without a cigerette touching my lips, the stronger I became, It'a little bit like, '' Out of sight, Out of Mind,'' But time in quitting this addiction can make Anyone a stronger and a more Positive Person in the way They think, Let me wish You Lady, and All the wonderful Quitters on this website a most wonderful smoke free Christmas, and New Years, You are One beautiful Person if You can go through the Holidays without reaching for a cigerette, Love You Friends, Smokless In Oklahoma :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/10/2003 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1734 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 52,020 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $7,421.52 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 405 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55
