I share your quit date. Maybe you and me can become "quitting buddies." I am a 24 year old wife and mother of two. I am excited to see how successful you are. If you ever need support I am here. Maybe I'll be right there with you, having the same problem. ha ha.

N0-Huff-Puff! Dive right in! The water's great! This is my third and [b]final[/b] quit! I think I have finally found the key to success. Quitting is as hard as you and I choose to make it. This Quit I am at the point where I [i]know[/i] smoking is not ever going to be an option, so that "Do I or Don't I?" Struggle just doesn't exist. When the struggle is gone then so is the depression and panic. And Phewww! What a relief! Choose to stay happy, excited and proud about your Quit and life will still be good!

Hey No-Huff-Puff ! Welcome !!!! I took these tips from another post.. Hope they help you quit.. It takes 3-4 days to get the nicotine out of your system. You are in detox/rehab.. don't be afraid to sleep or eat or do what it takes. Pamper yourself and don't let anyone get in your way of that either. Drink a lot of water, cranberry juice and tea to help flush the nicotine out of your system. (I like the cranberry-grape) Get some candy to munch on.. sunflower seeds, peanuts, etc. When you get a craving (they last maximum of 3 min.) grab a piece of candy and wait for it to pass. Get hooked on the candy for a while... you know how easy you get burnt out on candy anyway. Get rid of all smoking stuff.. clean your car out.. spray everything. Avoid all smoking places and smokers if possible. If you can afford it, see a counselor.. (If I could afford it I would) Keep coming here !!! Take it one day at a time... BTW Are you quitting cold turkey or using a patch or something ?? Hang Tuff !

Thank you Cuddles... I like that. The three P's. I'll tack that one on my board too! I can't take even ONE puff... because that will lead to another... and another... and *whew* I've already done that for years... and years... and I really can't do that anymore.

Daddybear6611: Thank you for wishing me luck. : ) Knight Christine: Thank you for the list of tips. I�ve printed them out and got them tacked on my bulletin board over my computer. I can�t go cold turkey cause I smoke about 2 packs a day. I�m using the patch. Casey: I feel much better finding this place. I�m not the only one going through this. I�ve used the free program and I�m ready. This site is awesome! : ) Smoky: Looks like we have the same quit date if I�m not wrong. Good luck and thanks for support. We can do it! : ) Jessie Marie: I�m a stay at home mom, for now� at least until I get my youngest into high school, so I�m able to check the site every morning. I�ll be back on tomorrow morning� ready to do battle. Hopefully, I�ll still feel this optimistic in the morning with a nice cup of coffee in hand and no cigarettes in the house. Thanks to all! Hugs!

I am a 37 year old mother and wife. I started smoking when I was 29. I'm tired of how it makes me feel and I want to be free of this demon (cigarettes). I have a plan to start working out again, do alot of writing, drink lots of water and play video games to de-stress. Wish me luck... I'm reading to plunge head first in the non-smoking pool.
