Hello all. I am going to quit next tuesday. I'm 30 years old and I am really starting to feel the effects of smoking physically and emotionally. I have a wife and kids and call me selfish but I would really like to be around them for a long time. I've seen what it has done to my mom. Eight years ago she was a typical Mother. But she smoked and she ended up getting COPD, and her life has not been nearly the same since. She doesnt like to go anywhere because of the difficulty of breathing, she gained a ton of weight, her quality of life is just horrible and it breaks my heart. And then, 2 weeks ago my aunt called me and told me my uncle who is only 51 is dying of lung cancer. Its apparently spread all over they said he's had it at least a year. There not even trying any treatment it too late. I've tried to quit a few other times but I'm really trying to be confident that I can do it this time,because I really like my life. I'm going to do the small steps I've learned from your website over the next week and lets hope I have success. I've downloaded the messenger thingy , I need some buddies because I think it will really help to talk to people that have gone through the same experience and help me keep my eye on the prize. Awesome website by the way. Take Care.

Welcome Commit2me! I just joined this site yesterday and this my 2nd day off cigs. I'm sorry to hear about your mom and uncle. I still am kind of clumsy using the site...don't know how to use everything yet so I'll offer support and a pat on the back right now. Try to stay positive. Trudy

Commit2me: Welcome we will be for you when your big day comes. Remember to toss out every thing that has to do with smoking. Have a plan ready, work the program on the left. Do you plan on using the patch or anything? Just make sure that you come here to vent rather than light up. You have made the right decision!!!!!

Hello, welcome and I would not agree that you are being selfish for wanting to be around for your wife and kids - quite the opposite actually. All the buddies you need are here on this site but you can, if you wish, buddy up with someone personally. A good idea is to take part in the monthly quitters groups, the one for March is 'recruiting' now (see in general discussion thread), that way you progress along with others that are at the same stage.

congratulations on making the decision to quit. My mother also has COPD from smoking. she recently was put on oxygen 24/7 so never leaves the house & it is heart breaking to see, we must learn from this & quit before its to late. Are you going to use any NRT or cold turkey? I used a book called 'Easyway to quit smoking' by Allen Carr, it helped to get my mind in the right place. Good luck to you if you need help you only have to ask.
