Hi,
I used to smoke but gradually cut down as i would not let myself smoke at work only at home then not in the car now i never smoke during the week, i dont even think about it during the week. The only time i now cant control myself is if i am drinking alcohol and then i smoke like crazy and pay for it the next day as i feel so bad. Then i swear i will never smoke again until the next weekend comes along. I am working on that one, cutting out weekend binge smoking. Cant be good for me!!!

Boy can I relate Lassie!!! I too hate the smell, the taste..EVERYTHING about smoking Exclamation Exclamation Crap I don't even I have the balls to TRY AND STOP...but I think about it Embarassed I think I need to be severly drugged for a few days in order to quit. Do they have smokers rehab?? Cool I'd be the first in line.

Keep trying Lassie..you're doing wayyyy better than I am. Smile

Very Happy thank you!You need a good laugh?Go towww.ebaumsworld.com its hilarious! Laughing the videoclips are so funny....I know that you feel bad,but you are on your way,only that counds! Its always helpful to do lots of sport,so you dont think about cigs,and will be happy with an even better body!You can see results through sport,but not through stop smoking,that can be frustrating...
I know,you make it!!! Lots of love!

Like some others have said,the Allen Carr easy way to quit smoking is a really good book,he really changes the way you think about smoking and your whole attitude towards it. I havent had a smoke since I read it 6 months ago Laughing
P.s I have had a few moments when ive been tempted especially when drinking but i just think of some points he makes in book and resist the urge.

Smile thank you guys.. uhg. its hard. i have to keep something in my hands and some peppermints at all times..and lifeplyr, when ya try to quit and if you fail just keep tryin. thats what i did. and i smoked for 30 yrs.i cant believe i have done this so far.but i do want one soooo bad.first i had to make myself cut down and only allow so many a day. really though when i first tried , i couldnt do it.. i cried and bought a pack went to the beach and was hiding and smoked almost a whole pack to get it out of my system. i was there by myself for hours till almost dark...it took almost 2weeks for this day.now im just using the inhaler. i sleep with it.. ok. Rolling Eyes thats how bad it is.i still cant say im a quitter. maybe a cigarette quitter.BUT I WANT ONE NOW... its just awful.i slept all weekend so i wouldnt feel so bad.ya have to make your own way of quitting. and cold turkey is not my way.lets do this together. and dont lie to me. tell me the truth. i lied for awhile.its hard enough to quit. if you say the 21st get ready now.start trying to cut down...stay intouch. and luvz ya smarty.. . BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE SHIT . bye

Very Happy you are on your way,thats evrything that counts!It is a hard,hard time,and you can be proud of yourself!maybe evry single day seems to be hell,and maybe it seems like a never ending story,maybe you wanna cry and screem at the same moment, evry day, all day long...but someday you will reach your target,evry day is a step closer to it! You cant stop something immediatly, that you did for almost 30 years!And someday you can look at yourself,knowing that youve made it!(I am silly,I know,but thats the way it is Wink )

Smile do you smoke sweety ? you dont have to tell if ya dont want to.you can always email me. only a smoker would know what im talking about or going thru. i really love that your talking about this with me.it does make it easier when there is someone to bitch at that understands. and not judged Confused i really want to smoke. but i just dont want to blow what i have done so far. my friend has made it to 12 days now.. and i cant wait until i can say i made 12 days. Very Happy she has her bad days too. but she is much stronger than me. its just so funny that i can smell wierd things and my voice sounds different to me. maybe its just in my head lol. maybe im going nuts by now. who knows.i wish i could go back to sleep but i cant.. i have alot of running for my sick mom today. and everytime i get in the car i want to light up. Silenced well i hope i get thru this day. im home alone finally and i keep thinking.no one will know if i smoke.... Shhh BUT ME. but im not going to. Pray talk to you later.

Smile No,I did never smoked im my life!(I have Astha,cigs are too mad for me) Smile I am verry empathic,but most of the time I dont dare to say something,cause I am afrait to be wrong Very Happy I can feel the same feelings like the person wich I look in the eyes.Im happy for it,cause thats the way I can help them,I dedicated my live to help others.(wich is verry difficould in english,because I cant really express what I wanna say) Rolling Eyes
for sure I dont judge you,how could I?There are so many people out there,with so many foulds but all these people has equally so many good sides,wich I do see!I cant hate people,just their behavoir..And,really, being a great person who smokes is not like a serial killer! Laughing Wink
