I am so proud of you... It takes a very strong person to go through what you have. If you ever have doubt that you can't stop smoking those little bitty cigarettes just think back to what you have been through already. Good God man, your making me feel like a cry baby now that I have read your post. You have just inspired me to hang in there. Thank you. Wishing you all the luck in the world Wendi [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/18/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 11 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 296 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $44 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 5 [B]Seconds:[/B] 6

Hi Guy - You're a pretty young dude to have such a mature outlook on your problems. I grew up with a gang that did it all (and I mean everything you could think of). Some of us gave some of it up and moved on, some never gave it up and either ended up dead or in jail. I figure that I'm about 20 years older than you and smoking is the last vice for me as well. I've sytematically kicked everyone of my self-destructive habits. I survived them all, so this one should be a piece of cake. Good luck to you, man... Peace. 2tone [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/26/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 107 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $16.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 52

Wow - Skitty, what a background you have for one so young. If anybody understands the power of addictions, it would be you! As a 35-year smoker, it was only once I understood that I was deeply addicted to nicotine that I knew I could quit for good. I couldn't stand the thought of giving even one more day over to the addiction. You've done an incredible job of beating back two serious addictions, so you know what it takes. With your commitment to conquer this last addiction, I know you'll get there. Use this site a lot. Read everything, post messages on good and bad days. Let us know how you're doing, ok? I hope you have a solid plan for how you will deal with the cravings. Please do work the program to the left -- it's very helpful. We're here for you. Go get 'em and keep the faith!

Welcome Skitty, You've come to the right place for understanding, support and knowledge about this addiction. Pull up a chair, read lots of posts, post, read some more. Sometimes the weekends are a little slow here on the boards but there's almost always someone to talk to! Addictive personalities suck, don't they? But you are very young to be so very wise! I only wish I had begun to kick bad habits when I was your age! Kudos to you!

Hi Skitty, and welcome to the 'hood. If you're feeling down, come here and read old posts. (It really helped me). It must have been a lot of hard work to get off the speed, the pot, and the booze. I guess, just like Keith Richards, the smokes will be the last to go. (He looks so pretty now, doesn't he?) If you did all that, you can do this too. It ain't easy..(you know that), but there's lots who've walked the walk, (and like to talk) ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/3/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 87 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,639 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $717.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

Hi Guy, you have been through a lot in your young life and hopefully you now have an understanding of addiction. They say that nicotine is the most addictive drug, so it's a good thing that you have built up your strength to tackle this. Please do work the quit program workbook over on the left. It will help you immensely. Also stick close by here and read all the posts. Let us know how we can help you!
