You keep being stubborn gaea. You're doing brilliantly. I'm pleased to hear that folks are supporting you and allowing you your tantrums. No, I don't believe it is wrong to want someone to hold your hand, I wish I could do just that for you. Keep the faith, you can do it! |

Firstly, congratulations to everyone who has quit whether it has been a hour or 10 years.
Gaea – I totally get what you mean about dealing with emotions. The first two months were the most shit-tastic experience of my life. Having a dry birth was less hard than this. I think that it is too important to do this to feel like you have to do it alone. I will pm you my number, and you can text or call if you want. Ms. Meander – East some of that chocolate, girl! You deserve it! Congratulations! My Story: Smoking was my last great vice, and I smoked for 20 years. About 3 months ago, I developed pneumonia, and was out for about a week. During the course of the week, I slept and didn't really wake up to eat or use the restroom, much less smoke. When I was finally awake enough, I decided it was time to quit. I am the kind of person that if you take away my addiction, then it will be worse than what it needs to be. I kept a pack of cigarettes on my nightstand, and gave myself permission to smoke only if I need to. After the week of not smoking, I pulled on out of the pack, and left it on my nightstand with the same permission as above. It stayed there for two weeks, and I threw it away. Don’t get me wrong, I know I was lucky because I got to sleep through the worst part of the physical addiction, but I was in the middle of my last semester, in an unhealthy relationship, and having to fight with a professor who was trying to bully me into quitting. I never in my life wanted to say fuck it, gimme a smoke. Everyday for about a month I wished I had a cigarette. The toughest part, I think, is living with people who still smoke. The smell sits in my mouth like some explosive chemical reaction, and leaves my tongue feeling rough and abrasive against my soft palate. And so, three months later, I still want to smoke. I don’t think that feeling will ever go away completely, but I know that today is easier than yesterday and tomorrow will be easier than today.

Go you lillith. Sounds like you've succeeded against the odds. I'm sorry you're living with smokers, that must make it really hard. The feeling of wanting to smoke does go away eventually. |

Good evening quitters
![]() ![]() I am on the end of day 2 of my quit smoking forever this time. I have been smoking for 35 years...I have tried to stop too many times to count. My quitting got to be a joke because I have tried so many times...I quit smoking every night. I have gotten really good at quitting since I have done it so much! The best part for being successful this time is that I am not at home.I will be away for 2 weeks and surrounded by non smokers. As long as I am not near it, I don't think I will be tempted. Hopefully those here will be OK with any uncharacteristic temper tantrums that may occur. I am adding all my support to those here that need it to to end this habit. Have a great smoke free evening ![]() OSB |

I have done that for 35 years. I don't like the stale smell of cigarettes in my home....how weird was that. I also started dining in non smoking restaurants about 10 years ago. I hate being around smoking while I am eating.
