New here and todays my quit date!!!

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 1

Today is my first quit day also. I wish you luck and myself. I am 51 yrs old and have been smoking 35 yrs. I want to quit so bad but am totally scared too. I have tried numerous times but have failed and in the back of my mind I think its gonna be the same this time also. I am also very afraid of gaining weight, I fight with that on a daily basis also.

Hello everyone, I'm new here. Today is my quit date. I am a 29 yr old mother of two. I have been smoking since I was 17. I am ready to give up this nasty habit. I usually smoke 5 cigarettes a day, but they are all at night. When I put my kids to bed I go off to the garage (we don't smoke inside) to smoke with my husband. I realize I use this time to unwind and socialize with my husband. Being a stay at home mom this is my first real contact with an adult. Ill typically smoke from 8-10pm. I can make it through the day with out a crave but at night its as if a switch gets turned on and I cant help but thinking about going outside to smoke. Im here to regain my life. Not feel that need to smoke. Im tired of the guilt I feel before I go to bed. Hiding that I smoke from my kids and family. Only my husband and friends know I still smoke. Its sad. I want to breathe better, feel more energetic, and feel positive about myself. I tend to ramble, so Ill stop here!

Welcome! It shouldn't take you long to create a new "unwind" time for yourself. Maybe that old smoke time should be your "soak in the tub" time or something like that. Or talk your husband into a massage for awhile, until you break that habit. Remember to drink lots of water to flush out that nasty nicotine. You will feel alot better once you are not smoking anymore! I cannot believe the difference in the way I feel and look and smell. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/8/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 456 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $126 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 32 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Welcome, Jestock2! Congratulations on making the best decision of your life. Nobody needs to smoke. It may take some time to get used to the change in your habits - but you'll get there, in the end. Stick with it! Good luck! Post as often as you need to!
