I have not had a cigarette yet today. Can somebody just shoot me and put me out of my misery, please? My poor hubby has been hiding from me all day. I think I may have sounded like I was possessed when ever he has asked me anything. I think he is happy for once about working out of town all week, and that he has to leave tonight. 😉
 
You smoke?

Why don't you give your kids a cigarette and watch them smoke it?

Think of your kids, that's how my dad and uncle quit. They stopped cold turkey in one day.
 
Keep on tryin'.
When one day without one turns into a week, which turns into a month, which turns into, NONE!
Good Luck and don't give up!

Pid, TYRP
 
Ok, I am chewing gum now. Who ever said chewing gum helps, well let's just say I would like to meet them and kick them in the kneecap about now. 😀
 
keep your mind busy.. play solitair or UT, something which takes all of your concentration. hey, if it helps with pain any kind of pain, it should help with withdrawl 🙂 good luck!
 
hmm, I do hope this stops some of the yonger readers from every starting to smoke.


GirlFriday, we are the opposite, see, I'd really love to get my hands on the person who invented smokes and believe me, I'd do a LOT more than just kick them in the kneecap....







BTW, everyone congratulate me, I am the only one in my family of 5 that DOENSNT smoke 🙂

although I would have a certain attraction to vodka coctails...or any other liquor for that matter....beer=piss
 
Keep it up, Girlfriday!!
Consider OT forums your personal cheerleading team!😉
You are doing the right thing and it's awesome that you are trying to quit.
Two of my friends are trying to quit, and it is not easy. Keep yourself motivated, surround yourself with supporters and you can do it!!!
Best of luck
 
I tried a cig for the first time a cuple weeks ago, it wasn't bad. I certaintly didn't mind the one I smoked the next day. After that I quit!
 
if you are about to pick up a cigarette just think of all the people you know who died of cancer...

i smoked a cigarette once....but that was only when i was drunk so i don't remember what it felt like.
Must have been pretty $hitty considering i am not smoking now....

I think the only thing i remember from smoking that cigarette is that you can pick up other people's butts and re-lit it and smoke what they didn't finish...ahahahahah that was the only cool part about smoking!
 
I lost my battle last week. Damn things!!! I'm gonna visit my doc on friday and see what she has to say.

Hey Colleen, how bout we meet and lock ourselves in a room and see who comes out alive?😉 I know all to well about the grumpy attitude!

I hope going cold turkey works for you babe.🙂
 
The best solution is to never start smoking in the first place. That way, you never have the desire, and you aren't really "missing out" because you're realizing that the only thing smokers get is wasting money and screwing their health.
 
GirlFriday, think of your kids and you will be able to do it, I guarantee it. 🙂

Best of luck! 😀
 
Good girlfriday. I hope your kids will help in the cause. They can sure be a pain in your side till you quit for good. I know, cause we did the same to my mom. 🙂
 
I am sitting here with my gum, chewing like a cow. I have had one cigarette by me all day, with my lighter, and I have this voice in my head saying if you light that, your a wimp, you can do this. Does anybody have a bat I can whack the voice a good one with? 😛 Thanks alot guys, the support is really helpful to me. 🙂

nd: Um, that does not really help me, since I already started, but thanks for the advice. I hope other people listen to you. 😉

Crum: You know, I think I could almost take you today, at the very least give you a run for your money. 😉
 
You could always suck on a big stick when you need to satisfy your cravings, GF... I doubt your hubby would mind.😛
 
Go with it! I smoked only for 4 years and I quit too. I really quit cold turkey and I chewed a butt load of gum(wrigleys spearmint). I started chewing gum as soon as I rolled out of bed and chewed all day right up till I went to bed. After about 2 months of this my jaw was popping like mad. But it worked. it sucked. But you can make it. I know you can. It's all about the will power. I quit because my girlfriend and I made a deal. If I quite ciggarettes, she would quite smoking weed. I stuck to my end of the deal and that was 7 years ago. I don't know what the hell happened to her, we broke up 2 months later! But I'll be damned if I was going to throw away 2 months of non-smoking. I wiah I quit because I wanted to. your cause seems all the more nobler.

You can do it!

Calculate how much money you were spending on cigarettes a month and then save that amount for a month instead of buying cigarettes...

Then, make a date to go shopping for every pack you don't buy!

After a while, that will be your habit... 😉
 
Hope you do better than I did...
Took me three years.

Cold turkey is the ONLY way to go.
You can do it if you want to;
You'll want to if you get a glimpse
of what your lungs look like.

Don't believe all the stuff about gaining
weight, nerves, etc etc... those are just
excuses used to justify lack of willpower.

And don't EVER EVER have "just one with a cup of coffee".
(But DO treat yourself to a lot of hard candy!)

Good luck!
