Nicorette Gum

Thanks Kelly
 That's about how I feel everytime I light one. I keep telling myself it's got to stop. So I'm really getting feed up with it, but can't seem to stop. That's why I stay here on the site, it keeps reminding me that people do it everyday. Thanks again. DJ

Trying this again for the final time

Hi Everybody
 I'm really not new here, but have quit several times on here. To many to be exacted. I can't count the times in the last three years I've quit. Some of the times I get to three months that seems to be the longest I can make it. I really hate smoking, but can't seem to give it up. I end up talking myself right back into smoking again. I have been doing alot of planning for this quit. I had my husband get me a knitting video for Christmas and that's going to be my hand thing. The last quit lasted one day. I seem to get really tired and was even falling asleep driving. Not sure if my bain knows what to do without the nicotine. I am the only person that smokes with most of the people I hang with. My husband quit about 36 years ago. He got up on morning and said I quit and never touch another cigeratte again. Boy how I would enjoy that. Unlike myself I have tried everything there is. I have be trying since the patch came out or before. I wasn't going to set a quit date but decide I better not just fly by the set of my pants. After I read the post from Tobash I decide it was time. I really hate telling people that I'm going to quit some of them laugh and I'm sure they are saying to themselves I bet she's going to. I am just tried of  depending on cigarettes everyday. I really have to find a way to do this. Zyban, Chanatix, laser, that shot that they give (twice) cold turkey can't remember how many times. So I'm giving it another try, I fell it I could get past 4 months I might have it made. I did know not to make it doing the holiday's. I have always an excuse but the stress in life is never going to end. Also my mother-in-law was dignose with lung cancer about three months ago. So this time I am really going to work hard on it. I might end up with alot of people not liking me. I know one problem is that I don't throw the smoking stuff out because I feel if I don't make it I don't want to have to buy it again. This time it's going and nobody is smoking in my house. So this is long enough just thought I would tell some people. Everbody have a Happy New Year. DJ

Trying this again for the final time

Hi Ashley
 I joined this site in 2008. I think my quit date at that time was in Feb. I did at that time get to the three months. I think the depression really starts to set in big time. What I said to myself it's the same thing every time. It goes like this, I guess I'm not happy smoking so guess I should go back. I'm going to die of something so I guess I might as well smoke because I'm happier smoking. I just can't consentate on anything without my cigarettes. All I do is sleep can't do that because I am very hiper person I shouldn't be sleeping. It goes on and on until I go buy cigarettes and that does it. It's almost that I can't believe that I could be happy without smoking so I keep talking to myself. Instead of focusing on not smoking I focus on how I can go back to it and make it alright with myself. I really don't care what other people say, even my husband who is supporting with me whether I smoke or not. He tells me how much better my breathing is when I'm not smoking. Doesn't say anything when I go off like a nut for nothing. Like I said none of my friends smoke. I do have family that does, but I'm not around them alot. So that part is easy without being around the smoke, so can't blame it on that. I am doing more planning on this. I know by now all the stuff I've tried there is no magic pill. Boy do I wish there was. But thanks for everything. I have not giving up this site even though I was smoking. I still watch it. DJ

Trying this again for the final time

Thanks to all of you. I just start getting this attacks thinking about the coming day. I wish there was a magic pill to take. But with every one I lite I say to myself I really don't want it or want to do it. Just can't understand why it's so hard. I know in the other quits the ones I've been three months how much better I feel and how much better I can breath. I know I have to make the commitment to myself. One that says never again. If I don't say that I won't be able to do it. DJ

Low Level Laser Therapy

Hi Mike
 I did laser therapy a couple of times, only lasted a short time. I think I have done just about everything
there is for quitting smoking. Spent more on trying to quit smoking than on buying the cigarette's. Not sure
if you heard of the shot but did that twice in the same year. $500.00 that cost, laser therapy 160.00 each time,
zyban, the new one slip my mind. You name it, always end up with the excuse to start again. But things work differently
for everybody. DJ

Just a thought

These are great I tried so many times to open this and for some reason it wouldn't open.
I finally got it to open. It was worth trying. Here I am going to do this again probably
for the 20th time. I only have on great brain block. My dad was a great man. The only
thing I can't get passed is that he always told my not to say never. So in my many quit
attempts I cannot bring myself to say I will never have another cigarette. He use to tell
me a lot of quotes. That is one that has really stuck and I have to figure a way around it.
I hang with all non smoking friends and co-workers. I'm the only stupid on out there. Got
to do this. I hate smoking and talk to myself about it all the time. I get on this site because
I think it is so great everybody can seem to do this but me. This is the time have to believe
in myself. Thanks Duffis for all the quotes keep them coming. If anybody has more ideas
I've tried every stop smoking thing they make. Now reading Allen Carr for the third time
but for woman this time. DJ
