trying to quit
I realize quittting smoking is healthy for me and has many many pluses but it pisses me off that I have to quit. Today is day number 1-hopefully there will be a day 10 or 24!

No I am not missing in action..lol
And I am still going strong and on the ride..smiles Sorry been in the hospital and kickin ass getting better..or trying atleast..ha Congrats to all the people who have been doing so well and truely kicken butt!! Way to go! And so proud of you. This battle has truely been one of the hardest I have ever done. Today while I was standing waiting for the train, I had a very hard time with a smoker next to me. I wish I would have realized how hard I made it on those trying to quit. I just thought they were being mean when they spoke out, Ya know what I mean? The smell is everywhere you go. That is why this addiction is so damn hard. But also why it is so huge and should be done with much pride. Please don't forget how incredible you are. And how amazing what you are doing truely is. Celebrate your month and year marks. This is such a beautiful time to validate to yourself how much respect and care you have for yourself. I know it is hard for some to do. But the reward in itself creates new doors to be explored. And leaves behind all the times you kicked your ass with negative thoughts. Anyway, I know I am long winded. But today was such an incredible eye opening day for me. Be good to yourself and stay on the ride!!! Namaste . |

Thought I would say a few things, Take them or leave them. I have to say I admire anyone who has even given quitting an attempt. As for what works and does not work is tottally a personal joureny as well. No person should judge another based on how they quit or what they do to do so. I took 2 or three times as long as most do to finally quit. But for me, it was the only way. I used many methods together. As you can read in previous posts. And if drugs would have been an option for me, probably would have done those as well. The point behind quitting is be true to you. Do what you need to stop. And find people who support you in doing that. I am telling you this, I am standing behind you and anyone wanting to stop. And am truely thankful to you for adding this thread/post. Keep up the great work and if I can help at all let me know. . |

Do not kick your ass. Simply start again and go with it. Try some new ideas...tons in this thread. Hell, mix and match em if need be. Just keep getting up and doing it. I know you can do it! |

when I was smoking I based everything with my next smoke. Made sure I could smoke , where to smoke, if others smoked, time i had to go without smokes etc etc. That is a normal fear of quitting honestly. Cinnomon sticks cinnomon gum and things to do with your hands and deep breaths helps that quite a bit. also using some sort of aide like patches etc Keep it up you can do it. . |
Officially :
I AM SMOKE FREE!! Actually it isn't for another hour and change. but wanted to get it out there before I went to bed..lol Sorry had to shout...smiles Damn proud of myself. Still have hard days but much less. namatse to all. Keep it up! |
Ok its the 4th..lol

OMG why cant I just pick a day to do this already !!!!!

i quit smoking for over 10 years...
then one day i started back up, those damn clove smokes reeled me in... i was on and off again for a couple of years, and finally was inspired by none other than MaggieBluIze that inspired me to quit the last time.... i have been smoke free since. G-spot quit about the same time... it is so much easier when you are around people that support you and don't smoke as well... (i know there is a cigar in my signature, and i do love a good stoggie, but i haven't even had one of those since either) |
i can chew gum. patch. keep my hands busy. etc etc. ...
i can do all that and it helps. but that's it, just helps. ... it's all about will power. it's me that has to do it and say no. ... first, i have to say no and mean it. then i can get help from all the other places. my quit date is june 4, 2012. i am addicted. i love to smoke. like pamela said, most of my life lived to smoke. i will always be addicted. but i'm mad as hell and smoking is not going to rule me. |
what i should have said was, all of the aids help. but if i don't have the will power to quit, ... and stay quit, ... i won't. regards of help.
use the help button when you (and i) need it. |

To simply slow down and smoke less. Get it to a half pack and even change to a not so loved brand of smokes..or rolled ones..smiles Then set the date when a half pack becomes normalized. It is better to do it right and complete. Than to keep kicken your butt about it. There is no wrong or right method. But remember, there are lots of people here to support you in your journey. . |
Gotta confess that recent overwhelming stress led me to buying 2 packs earlier this week...i don't really like smoking...they taste nasty and make me smell bad too...as i am too cheap to just throw them away i plan to not buy any more and quit again when this last pack (i just opened) is finished...
