i want to quit smoking

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2

Slivers, I was a pack a day smoker for 33 years. I quit almost two years ago with the help of the patch, and LOTS of gum. I live through a lot of ups and downs in the beginning. But I made it through. I didn't look too far ahead, and tried not to look back at what it was like to smoke. Deep breathing and water, lots of water. That helps too. The benefits of being smoke free (as you know after not smoking for so long) are HUGE. I can actually breathe again, and I've got more energy than I've ever had. I don't crave anymore, but I did my share of that in the beginning of my quit. One day at a time. No more.

Slivers, Remember how you felt when you quit all those years ago... let that in and really feel it again. I felt like it was a part of me and I would lose a part of me, that was my fear but ya know what... I gained alot more parts in the last 4 days than I have lost! I can smell the good scents again, I keep looking at the money I have saved and how much time I added to my life and that really helps. We all have our own way that will do the trick and you will have to find yours but if you share with us we will remind you of the desires you wish to use that extra money on now or when you are 2 yrs older than you would have been if you still smoked. You know you need to, you want to, or you wouldnt be here asking for help. you wont lose a part of you, you wont turn into a frog at midnight or anything... you will gain life! Did you see that? YOU WILL GAIN LIFE!!!!!! YOU WILL GAIN LIFE! I also posted lil post it notes around my house with positive sayings like...... I want to see my kids get grey hair so I can laugh at them... and you can do it! You have what it takes. You can post all the positive things that you can list on post it notes around your house and see them every day for reminders! I know you can do it! YOU WILL GAIN LIFE!

You have to want to quit more than you want to smoke. Complete the program to the left of your screen and be prepared with coping skills in place. You can do it. You have to WANT it! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/8/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 118 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,931 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $944 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

First of all...decide how badly you wish to quit. That will dictate your level of preparedness that you will need to sustain. Congrats and lets get it on.
