You will not be able to quit until the desire to stop is greater than the desire to light up. So..........have a wander round and hopefully get that inspiration. Brent the mad englishman PS Sorry....I was wrong there! see method one or method three in my "foolproof way to stop smoking" post in the main section ;)

Hello, Everyone! I seem to come and go from this place, almost on schedule. My twenty-ninth birthday is coming up in two months. It's really hard to believe, but the last really serious attempt I made was on my twenty-sixth birthday. I managed to go almost two weeks, but the freedom started to scare me. I'll never forget that. I know I need to quit, but I don't feel it in my heart that I can. In fact, I smoke more now than I ever have. This website is an extremely valuable resource, and the people here are all wonderful human beings. I have to say, if it wasn't for this website I never would have made it as far as I did back then. I can't believe it's been three years! Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. I think I'll stick around for a while and see if I can get re-inspired from all the incredible feats I've witnessed people accomplish here. If ever there were a time for me to quit, I'd say that time is now. I think I'm just scared though, of letting myself down once again. For so many years, my thoughts were dominated by wanting to quit, but after the last time, something in my head must have changed, because that desire is gone. It's been replaced with servitude, I guess. Has anyone else experienced this in their life? I'd hate to believe I've given up all hope. I'm sure there's a reason I'm back though. -rswfire

Well, I've moved to a new apartment, in a new city. I decided I wasn't going to smoke in my new apartment at all, so for the last week or so, I've only smoked out on the porch. I know it's an important first step toward quitting. :-)

Hi rswfire. Glad to see you came back around. You can quit smoking if you want to quit smoking. You first have to have good reasons to quit, you've got to have commitment to a quit. It's not easy, but I can assure you that it is do-able. The thoughts in your head about failing in your quit are just the addict talking. The addict doesn't want you to try to quit. I can't talk you into quitting. Nobody can do that. The decision is yours and yours alone. Once you decide to quit then we need to take one hour at a time. (Notice I said [b]we[/b]? That's because everyone at this site will be here to give you a hand.)

Been there, seen it, done it and I've got the T shirt! I was going to quit at 30, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45. After failing every time, I resigned myself to being a smoker for the rest of my life. That was until I had a health scare at 47, the rest, as the older ones here know, is history! Do it NOW, don't wait for that frightening tap on the shoulder! Good Luck Penitent d626

rsw.....you're an addict....and as the years go by the addiction takes an ever stronger hold on us.....this is where that thought that you "can't" quit comes from. I know cause I lived with it for years....finally becoming so sick of the stinking habit that I got MAD and determined that I WOULD take back my life. You can do that to.....it's just that YOU have to take control away from you addiction. It's just a matter of "choosing" what you are going to do. and scared??? no one could be more scared than I was of what I told myself would be "trying" to quit. That was part of the problem....don't just "try"....DO IT! I don't care what the junky in you says...anyone can quit....and no one has died from it yet!
