Glad to here this! Like a Polar Bear swim, sometimes you've just got to dive right in and take the plunge. Yep, it's gonna hurt, but if you didn't jump, you can't say you've tried it. I've got a feeling that you are going to make it. There are a few here who have beat other addictions (me included) and are beating nicotine too. You will do this. Keep telling yourself that. Stay close to this site. Yell if you need help. You know it will be there...all you have to do is ask. Don't look back, don't look too far ahead. Stay in the moment. Congratulations on quitting.

This is fantastic support and advice and I decided to go with the 'get back on the horse right away' gang - I quit yesterday morning and lived through the day without smoking... I'm doing the same today. Thanks for the tough love and the sensitivity, folks! It's a wily demon and I'm watching my triggers carefully...

Hey DL, Most of us have quit more than once. The first few days are the most difficult and preparation is vital. Don't get down on yourself, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again...you've heard that song. Get back on the horse & ride! Set a new date, get back in here reading everything, doing the exercises, so you can be better prepared. YOU CAN DO IT! We are here to help. Next time come and post, tell us what you are feeling, there is always someone who has been through the same thing and can help you through it. Thats the magic of this place, we're all in this together! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 319 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,975 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,365.45 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 41 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13

Kelly, Thank you for your great advice. Do any other memebers have suggestions they would like to sare with us? Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator

DL, I apologize if you've already answered my question in a previous post but I've been out of the loop a little lately. My question is: Have you completed the workbook exercises and read all you can about nicotine addiction, etc? If not, I suggest trying those things. In my experience, it is best to quit when you've got the mindset to do it. Also, when you do decided it's time again quit and you get tempted to smoke, please post here first with "help" in the subject line and wait for at least five responses before making a decision to light up or not, K? Best of luck! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 145 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,350 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $848.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58
