Hi all, you can call me Charm for short (which really has nothing to do with my personality..lol). This is the 4th time I have tried to quit..the longest I went was a year. I celebrated my year anniversary with a cig...(STUPID!!!) the rest is history..I am starting on the generic Wellbrutrin tomorrow 9-11. my quit date is 10-1. My 36 year old son is quitting with me. I will be reading a lot of your posts for support (thank you in advance) and may need to post some questions to you all..
Thanks Cristina and Josie...I am going thru "My Program" step by step..it is reminding me of things I had forgotten. I believe with that and the help of the forums here I will be ready by Oct 1st.
(just a side note...I do not have THAT husband anymore or any other husband for that matter. lol)
Hey Rock, I am going over the program and pretty much know where I went wrong...those darn rewards..lol I am making new rewards this time.. I will post my meter on my quit date Oct 1st..right now it just shows ZEROS..not to flattering.
Thanks for replying, it's nice to know you guys care.
Greg...That meter is a good tool. I think the first couple of months I will go walk around town on the weekend (that will be the hardest to get thru) and buy me a little something with the money I saved that week.
Tresa...Your start date says 12-07 but were you a member of SSC back in 2002? I do believe I remember a Tresa??
breather...Thanks for the input and you are so right about the "fine tuning" it will be something that will need to be done off and on the rest of our lives. I remember my Mom saying, years after she had quit cold turkey..that she still from time to time thought she would like a cig...she didn't do it tho.
Hi all, Charm here... I am still going thru the program, doing all the exercises and printing them off and reading a lot of your posts.
I am having a bit of a problem, I once quit for a year (as some of you have read) and I'm trying to remember back to that time in my life and think of all the good points of my first year of quitting..you know what I'm talking about...all the things that I enjoyed being a non-smoker. Well, for the life of me, I can only seem to remember the bad times.
So all you old timers (figuratively speaking), try and think back to that first year of being a non-smoker and tell me the good memories you have...
Thanks Ron for the reply... Just reading your post brought out some memories I remember, the walking (I did a lot of that) around the cart trails of our local golf course (just had to duck every now and then, lol) I remember the first Christmas with the family and I didn't have to worry about the "getting away to smoke", now my husband, at the time, still had to go outside. I didn't miss it.
I am looking forward to reading about some of the others' memories..you made me feel better already.
Pete...those are not weird at all...I can relate to everyone of them.
I have been back smoking after the year, for 8 years, and I still, every single time I am with non-smokers..all I can think of is how bad I smell...when I go to the movies, I find a seat away from everyone else, when I go see a play, I find a seat back in the corner away from everyone else, when I am shopping at the store, I go down isles where there is not anyone there, when I come back in to my workplace after a "smoke break", I spray cologne on me (which by the way doesn't help at all). I AM so tired of this... COME ON QUIT DATE...October 1, 2010...I'm ready for ya.
