Well Sparky,

I knew there was a reason I checked in. I'm glad to see that you still haven't given up. My quit has stuck and I am sure that now is your time! You were there for me for such a long time, and you have my gratitude along with Bear, Mr. Ed and so many others. My wife's quit has also stuck, and if you hadn't let me know how much more difficult quitting is for a woman, I might have been a lot harder on her than supporting her.

Hang tough, I'll check in again to see how you're doing.

Welcome to SSC. I found this site several years ago and the support I received here is amazing. Although I lost my quit several times they never gave up on me and remain my friends today. I hope you will post often and become a member of the SSC family.

Hi Formyboys2011,

Congratulations on your decision to quit. It is smart of you to plan in advance by setting a date and starting to seek support now. I suspect that you have also learned a few things from your two previous quits. One of those lessons seems to be that we can't just go back for a few puffs. It quickly degenerates back into a habit and an active addiction. (I appreciate you reminding us all of that lesson. by the way. I think it is something that I will need to remember again and again for the rest of my life, if I am to stay quit.)

I hope you check out the various tabs under "My program" and "Tools" at the top of this page. There are exercises and tools to help you before, during and after your quit.

Again, welcome to the boards. Looking forward to seeing you around.

Welcome!

You ahve come to the right place. We can help you through this.

Good for you for coming here to prepare. The more information you can arm yourself with before you quit the better prepared you will be. Read through the forum and do a keyword search in the forums. Post as often as you can - especially after you quit. Many members here attribute their successful quits to the support they have received here and of course their hard work.

It sounds like you have a lot to motivate you to smoke free. How are you going to remind yourself of this motivation when cravings get tough?

Hi there.

I am 43 years old and have smoked on and off since I was 13.

I quit when I was 26 to start a family. After 6 years, my husband and I went to Vegas for our first trip away alone since the kids were born. I figured that after 6 years, I would be able to smoke in Vegas and then not think about it again once we got back. Boy was I wrong.

I quit again when I got pregnant with my third son in 2006. I stayed quit until 9 months after he was born and I was done with breastfeeding. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I have hidden this nasty habit from my three kids for 16 years and this past weekend, my 16 year old son caught me. He was devastated. I am impressed with how society has scared our kids about the perils of smoking...he stated facts and figures and knew a lot of stuff. He asked me, with complete sincerity, "Don't you want to be alive for J's (my 5 year old) graduation?" Broke my heart.

I told him that I never intested to hurt him...that sometimes parents hide things to protect their children. I also promised to make an appointment for the doctor to get a prescription for Champix. My appointment is for April 15th. My quit date is April 20th.

This time will be the last quit for me. I just can't let nicotine control my life. I am sick of running away from my kids to sneak in a cigarette...it's disgusting and humilating to even type that.

So, here's to a healthy me...who will be here for not only J's graduation, but for J's childrens' graduations!
