 the 9th sounds like a good day !!!!!!! i dont think you should smoke when using anything. well i did and it kinda makes your stomach hurt. try the sucky things and keep like a lighter or something in your hand.. if ya mess up . oh well try again another day.. it takes a few try's..im still jones'in for one.but ill pop in a mint or eat..lol. i hold this puffer all the time. even when im not using it. i really cant believe it has been this many days....  i think the want will always be there.but im never gonna smoke again.i will not go thru that first part.. and it sounds like im scaring you of it.. i just wantcha to be ready.im still bitchy.im a bitch anyway....but this is a different bitchyness. i think i was getting an exorcit'ing when i first started..lock down in my room..i cried to my friend everyday all day..thank god for her.she quit too. she let me call her names and swear and whatever i wanted.. if it wasnt for her, i would be smoking. i really believe you can do it. it's just gonna take time.. and try a bunch of times.make yourself hate the smell of the smoke.IT WAS IN MY HAIR. smell some chanel # 5 and cigarette smoke. omg...NASTY. it smelled like a cheap ho  . anyway, you will make it someday.just keep it in the back of your mind how much you hate it. how it has such a hold on you. i smoked for 30yrs.. a cigarette was a part of my body.i cant remember life without one in my hand.its unreal now that i think back on it. i know you will try it anyway.it might not work right away but youll get it.and it could take years.cigarettes really play mind games with ya.like they own you.well they dont own me anymore and i like not dishin my money out for em either. talk to ya later. glad to hear you had a good weekend. mine sucked.everything sucks !!!!! see im getting pissy... i want to smoke now too... but im not.going to my room and screaming.

bloody hell. giving up smoking is a nightmare. i stopped for three months. no aids nothing just stopped and never craved smoking. then suddenly bam, i start smoking all over again. it has only been a few days and again today i am trying to quit.
i thought that was it, over. but even after months it came back to haunt me! |

oh god i didn't want it to be a negative thing for you!
smoking is probably the worst drug! because i think oh i actually want to smoke not because i crave it! i think you'll be fine. i was fine, just that after 3 months i decided to put myself in high-risk situations like going out to clubs and bars. and then i had one smoke then a week or so later university started and everyone smokes so i had a few more with coffee!
now i know the pitfalls i've stopped again. i bought some nicotine sweets which i will pop if i get the urge.
this time i will try my best to stop. a good tip is to not think that you are giving up smoking for good! becaues then it seems impossible and you want to start!
why not start each day with "today i will not smoke a ciggrette" then it makes it easy and managable! if you do that everyday the days will disappear and you won't need help anymore!
and i absolutely hate what it does to my skin! hair clothes house lungs coughing just remember that nastyness!
best wishes to all those trying to quit! |

hi, dont worry about it.. ill never smoke again.. no matter what. i was just hoping that you will be able to stop when your ready. i know going to clubs would be very hard ... i cant even go to the coffee house with my friend because they smoke outside on the deck.. and i was one of them. i love coffee and i really love coffee with a cigartte. so iam not ready for any place where there is smoking.im almost a prisoner right now. i go shopping and back home. im not ready for the world being a non smoker...not yet anyway.today is day 24 without a smoke. i cant and i wont mess it up now.like i said before,if i start again i will smoke till i die before i go thru that hell again. im glad im done with the clubs and bars. or i still would be smoking.thank god my best friend also stopped (before me) because that would be a little difficult for us to hang out.we would be phone buddies..lololol.god love her. 
take care

like i said, don't be so hard on yourself! although i don't know you personally I think instead of telling yourself that you will never smoke otherwise you will smoke for the rest of your life is dooming yourself for failure!
i must say that you have to at all costs avoid having another puff of a ciggrette. because once you do it will go on the slope down again. however if for some reason it does happen, it is okay, because you can stop right over again. and the gaps between wanting to smoke will get less and less.
make it a daily battle rathar than a lifetime battle and things get easier!
p.s. i've stopped again and the reason why it is hard for me is because at my university everyone seems to smoke! and i do love coffee wiht a cig.
but i hate how ill i feel when i smoke! |

 well there are good days and bad days.. no one can get me to smoke again. if i did , it would be myself. and i wont let that happen. i came too far to mess things up.i love to smoke when having coffee. and i drink coffee every morning. now im just sucking on this pacifier instead of a cigarette. using this mouth piece is like the hard tip of a cigar. so you go thru the motions of smoking.its got to be hard for you at school and get togethers with others who smoke.. i cant do it yet.. but i stay home all the time. i dont go out much.not by choice. well have a good one. one more day under my belt dealing with the devil,demon the mother of all thats evil... lololol.. to loony in the morning..overload of coffee..

Hang in there!!! You're doing way better than me. I'm not even going to think about a stop date. I'm tired of agonizing over it.
You're doing excellent Lassie!! So proud of you! |

| hi lassie. i don't know if you have tried this already, but if you haven't i would certainly recommend you try Allen Carr's book on Easyway to stop smoking. I have been going through similar battles like smoking as you have and I thought I don't want it to be a struggle. This book really is amazing. I can't imagine how it works but try it. it is cheap too. |

thanks for the info..but i hate reading. i think i have a touch of not being able to comprehend what i read...  im done with smoking. its all in my head .. i think ive passed the cravings. im just so use to hand to mouth motions.. im finding as long as i have something small in my hand , im ok. there are just times when i get emotitional that i want to breakdown and smoke . but i will not mess this up. i wont go thru this again. i never made a whole month without a cigarette and now i can say I DID IT . and i like what i feel. and smell. and i like not smelling like cigarette smoke. now im focusing on getting my skin back together. and dealing with my disfunctional family.

if you can't read the book then I strongly urge you to get it on audiobook or something. seriously. it took me two days to read, and he suggests that (unless like you, have stopped smoking already) then to carry on smoking. By the end of it I did not crave, nor did I WANT to smoke. I had my final one and it was disgusting. (he has a final cig ritual to do)
honestly if you get through that book, the trouble you are going through right now it will all go away. (the stuff in your head that is worse than the cravings - and that will go! it is amazing!) i was craving so much after starting school again and it is great i don't want to give in to the temptation anymore |

Wow, Lassie!!! This is so great! You go girl! I did read this thread at first and noticed you were so not into smoking anymore and talking about quiting. You deserve a huge, huge pat on the back and congratulations!! One month and counting!! Annette
ps..I did smoke too and tried to quit a few times before it took. I was very young though and the habit wasn't ingrained so I didn't think I had much info to add to this thread but just had to leave you a note today, way to go! |
