How can I help? As long as you continue to keep trying you will make it, the average is 7 tries so keep trying. I am one who has reached a year. You have to want imagine and want the stop and then it gets done.

Make sure your desire to quit is stronger than your desire to light up... And always be aware that everyone's quit is as different as we all are... What works for one - or what challenges one - may not challenge you or me... So own your quit and protect at all times above everything else... Your quit, especially within the first few months, is like a newborn baby... it needs to be protected and kept out of harms way... Carry your quit on a satin pillow and watch it and care for it. Ask for support when you need it... AND read old posts... Shevie's and Lady's posts kept me grounded and Quit when I first found this site... do a search and allow their grace and wisdom (and humanity) to Light the way for YOU...

Yes addicts all. Reaching out for support is paramount. Reading old posts was for me a life line into a whole new world. There are great posts from Rusty, Hummybird, Ros, Duffis, Golferman, Rob47, Butterfly Swimmer, Lady Bugg. To name a few, and there are more just search on any topic and they will come up!. All of these quitters and yes Lady and Shevie have so much insight and inspiration to give. I for one am eternally grateful for the care and support offered by the great quitters who stick around and offer huge amounts of great support to every quitter on the site. Hang on Stickin you too will make it one year just around the corner.

We all get there one day at a time, one step at a time. N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever) is the only way to truly quit. No matter what life brings our way. No matter how emotional we may become. No matter what we don't light that next cigarette one day at a time. Quitting isn't easy. It is the hardest thing a lot of us will ever do but that doesn't mean it can't be done. We are all addicts around here. Refuse to give in to the addiction ever again. It is so worth it!

Want, imagine, do. Simple, isn't it? I've never heard of the "7 tries" average, stickin. Thanks for the info. The quitters who get it right the first time are very rare. To anyone who may be reading this right after a slip/relapse, know that you can do it. You just have to try again. Maybe you'll be on the low end of the group, or maybe you'll be on the high end. Doesn't matter. Isn't important. What is important is that you keep trying until you succeed. Want to quit. Want freedom from nicotine. Want a better, longer life. Want it so bad, so deeply that it overrides the want to smoke. Imagine life as a non-smoker. No more cutting after-dinner time short to go out for a smoke. No more getting antsy in the non-smoking section of anywhere. No more fear of long flights. No more feelings of guilt at putting a smoke ahead of anything. No more going out into the heat/cold/rain/snow every hour. No more burn holes in your clothes. No more panic when you realize you don't have enough cigs for the night. Imagine... Do quit. Just do it. Whatever it takes. Do cold turkey, do NRT, do non-nicotine drugs, do cold laser therapy, do acu-whatever, do anything not listed here, do any combination of the above. Do it. Keep up the great quits, everyone. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 600 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,018 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2280 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 111 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 1

quitting IS hard....but believe me, when you have finally clawed and fought your way to a position of advantage....the reward for it is nothing short of FANTASTIC!!! Until you get there, you are inclined to not believe it....but once you pass that marker-your outlook begins to change.....so hang on....the journey continues, but it gets easier the further you go Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1835 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 73,400 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10459.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 242 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 1 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
