Today is My Quit Day

Good luck. I'll be quitting over the summer. I don't want to take drugs. So I'm going to try to wean myself in a non-smoking environment first. My current roommate smokes. So would be too difficult to try and quit until I move.

Good luck! I know it's hard- just try to keep preoccupied!

Good luck Marianne! I have zero willpower on my own, I knew it would be impossible for me without the medication. My husband smokes, so that makes it hard on me too. We only ever smoked outside though.

Good for you, Lisa! That is quite a goal! Hubby quit several years back and is soooo grateful that he did!

Whatcha going to do with all the extra cash? Mani/pedi spa trip? Vacation? New wardrobe? Hope you plan to spend it on something special for yourself!!

Hopefully the extra cash will pay for next year's vacation! Especially being how expensive cigarettes are now.

Best wishes Lisa, you can do it. Just whenever you think about it get your mind on something else

You can do it. I did. I haven't smoked in 40 years and I used to be a two pack a day person. I don't miss the smell in the house, I don't miss the holes burned in things form dropped ashes and I don't miss cleaning up the disgusting ashtrays. You can do it too.

You can do it. Everytime you get a craving imagine all the $$ you are saving and then stick a peppermint in your mouth.

good for you; keep up the great work :)

Thanks for sharing... i say you can do it...

Good luck! My dad smoked and tried to quit dozens of times while I was growing up, I seen him struggle with it so many times. I know you can do it, it is hard work but you need to do this for your health. Congratulations on taking the first step to quit smoking!

I never realized you smoked. It's surprising, especially because of the little men in your life. Good luck withthe process. I'm sure you'll wish you'd done it years ago. Tim

Best of luck with this. It sounds like you have a positive attitude. I watched my husband go through with this and was so pleased that he did. Are you going to actually put back money every week from what you would have spent on cigarettes? This could be a good motivating tool.

Good luck!

i wish you luck.

Good luck and you're doing a great job! Hang in there!!

Best of luck to you. Congratulations on making the decision to quit.

I wish you the best of luck. I need to wean myself off these things too.

good luck, Iknow it can be hard, but I also know it can be done ;)

Good Luck Lisa! I did it 21 years ago and I was a very heavy smoker (2 packs a day). I decided overnight to make my ever nagging daughter happy and quit. I did it and I am happy I did. Food, especially fruits and veggies taste 100% better.

Good luck!

Best of luck Lisa!

Thanks for commenting on my photo essay on the sequoia trees.
It really is an amazing place to visit.

Hope it works out for oyu.

oops - you

wishing you the best of luck

Good luck to you!

the Chantix will make it easy...I was able to use it for one month but then the medical card decided they were no longer paying for it...so no more for me and right back to smoking full time I went. I am now quitting with no aides since I can't afford them but I can't get past smoking 4 cigarettes a day

Best of luck and I'll cross my fingers for you. I quit for the second time last August and so far so good. Now I'm hooked on Nicorette :) Chantix didn't work for me but I'm glad it's working for you. Keep your hands busy with needlework or something. That helps lots. Good luck!

good luck, you can do it!

I used Chantix and it worked fine for me... In fact I didnt need another prescription... I smoked for 4o years about 2 packs a day... I was addicted big time.. I couldnt go for over a half hour without wanting one... I knew I had to do this... I prayed....and to tell you the truth... I couldnt believe how easy it was.... The important thing for me was to remember that I was quitting as we smoked in the house... This makes it easy to grab one without even thinking and light up... I remember my dad told me once to move the cigs. ashtrays, lighter anything that reminds you of smoking out of sight.. It worked for me... I gave my cigs away and smoked for 2 weeks on the drug... I got real good at cutting back but then one day, quitting smoking wasnt on my mind and I went back to my usual about a pack and a half... My husband said, try agailn... I knew that cold turkey was going to have to do it.. Sure enough, I had always said, if I can make it one day, just one day I can do it... I made it one day and started taking one day at a time...My husband smoked and my family decided to not smoke in front of me... I told them no keep doing what they do, just because I chose to quit I was not going to make them feel uncomforable.. I also, knew that sooner or later, I would be around other smokers.... It didnt bother me abit... I had a goal and I knew the Lord was going to get me through it and 1 1/2 years later, I am still smoke free...
This is my story and everyone is different but you can do it... I was one who never ever quit before.. I would be deathly sick and still had to have that cig.. I smoked first thing in the morning and then it got to the point if I woke up in the night to go to the bathroom, I would grab one and smoke it.... but I did it....
The worse thing for me was watching the clock on the first couple of days.... I would say, I made it an hour, two hours, etc....
Good Luck to you.. I wish you the best...

Good luck!

Good luck to you and congratulations on taking the big step.

Congratulations. Good luck with this. My mom smoked for many years and it took her forever to quit. She finally did it in 1995. If she can do it, you can.
