Glenna and Dave, Please remember to reward yourself. I used to buy myself a boquet of flowers every Friday the first month I quit. It was nice to be able to smell them. So please no matter how small do something to reward yourself.

Glenna welcome aboard the SSC. You can do this and we can help you if you let us. Trust me I smoked for 30 years and never thought I would have the strength or courage to quit. I found that strength and courage right here. So hang tough and give us all a chance to help you.

It will be the best gift you could ever in you life time give yourself.

Glenna - my best advice is to be dedicated to your quit. You have to really want it!

Welcome to all of you. Dave, what a super reward that is. I agree, prepare and decide that this is a very good thing, not a punishment. Lots of water, pamper yourself, something to chew or suck on, let us know how you're doing. We all want you to succeed [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 289 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 11,560 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,965.20 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 40 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Good luck with it Den. I've just got to six days. It's been pretty tough but I am six days nearer it getting easier so I' feel good about that. And my kids are thrilled that when I kiss them goodnight I don't stink. Go for it!

Hi there both of you, there is lots of advice on this site if you read through posts. Also work the quit program tools...they are very helpful and will give you a lot of information you need to kick this addiction. I think we all would recommend that preparation is very important to know as much as you can before your quit date. But the bottom line is you -- your determination to quit. If you really want to quit, don't let any person or circumstance get in your way. Get rid of all cigarettes and ashtrays, stay away from tempting situations for a while, drink lots of water, eat healthy foods often to keep your blood sugar up, start a quit journal and make a list of all your reasons to quit. I am testament to the fact that quitting is doable. I know you can do it!

I wish you the best and read and post as much as possible before then.
