Welcome back, ttin. We're glad to see you again and as you know, this is a great place to get the support you need. Yes, it's scary but you can see here that quitting smoking is doable. People who are older, smoked more, had bigger issues than you have been able to do it. Everyone has their issues and their challenges. But it only takes one thing to be a quitter: never take another puff. Get rid of your paraphernalia. Tell yourself that you will do whatever it takes to get this monkey off your back. You won't die from quitting smoking, but which cigarette is it that will be the fatal one? Stay here, ttin. Focus on this board and others on the net for the next few days. Work the programs. You do have the strength in you...don't believe the junkie lie that you don't. And each time that you don't smoke, you will be even stronger. Rusty :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/13/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1013 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 28,364 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,545.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 142 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42

hey Ttin, For starters welcome to the board :) This IS the place for the best support. I think this will help you with your quit. You need to have a real desire to quit or staying quit will be difficult. For starters, write out at least 10 reasons why you should quit. Then print the reason out and read them every morning when you start your day. Keep them with you, I used to keep my list right where I kept my cigarettes for a nice reminder. You can do it, quitting is actually easy. Staying quit is what is tough. You can do it but must be committed.

You can do this. The fact that you are here again shows you have the want, now you have to have the determination. It takes great will power to be your own motivator becasue no one can do this for you, you have to do it. Stick to these posts, read them, and when you feel the need respond. I found in my first week I was here alot. You can do this!

Mornin' ttin! In my opinion, for today, all you need to remember is your stratagies. Drink water instead of smoking. Distract yourself from the craving. Stay focused on why you are doing this. Remind yourself that a craving is short lived; three minutes tops. Sleep if you can. Do what ever you need to do, just don't smoke. Yay, you; you get to quit smoking today!!! Nice! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 26 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 780 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $152.10 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 6

Ttin, Welcome back to the boards! If the "want" is what you struggle with, you may want to put some serious thought into your reward system. You may also want to keep track of when, where, how and why those wants strike. There may be a pattern. Keep us posted and have a great first day! Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist
