getting ready to quit again

 Roses Kudos to you for dusting yourself off and getting back up on the wagon. Examine what went wrong and don't put yourself in situations or allow yourself to get into a state of mind where you decide to smoke. I think everyone goes through stages of quitting where it's harder than at other times. I found around 6 weeks to be especially tough but every quit is different. Around 50 and 100 days can be a major test as well. It's a choice to smoke or not so don't give up on yourself. When I decided to stop smoking Nov. 11 , 2008 I couldn't breathe without difficulty either so I decided to do whatever it would take to eliminate the smoking delemna from my life. Today I have no trouble breathing , my clothes don't smell and my fingers aren't yellow. Of course it's hard to stop but other people have accomplished this and so can you. You're the most important person here. In your own time you will succeed. breather

I am starting over and getting ready to quit again. Its seems harder this time after my relapse. I went to the walk today after going to the dentist. I hard such a hard time breathing and in turn I could tell my BP was up again so we really couldn't do much walking.  I have decided to start by coming here and posting my reasons to quit.
1.  I want to be able to walk and breathe again.
2.  I don't want to smell like a nasty stinky cigarette.
3.  I want to be able to relax.  It is hard to relax when it is a struggle to breathe and
you feel a tightness in your chest because you smoke.
4.  I want to be able to enjoy my life again.
5.  I want my freedom back.
6.  I want my life back.
7.  I hate being a smoker.
8.  Most of all I want to live
