hi healthystar the best way to quit is just do it and never look back thats the way it happened with me and after riding the craves fighting the battles here i am i also wanted to know and feel what it means to be a non smoker, my commitment to quitting had to do with jeulosy that my sister had quit without my knowledge, we both smoked for 35 years, can u imagine all that money smoked out the windows of both our homes so cold turkey i went, and feel good not only no more coughing mornings but having accomplished something myself hang in and hang tough if i can u can and anyone can just keep doing it is all that it is about really [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 353 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,067 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2947.55 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 47 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Hi healthystar, What do you love about smoking? The way it makes you smell? The way it forces you to look for ways to do it? The men that it attracts into your life? The fact that it is slowly killing you? Like all the rest of us on this site, you are addicted to smoking. The addiction is causing that feeling of love. If you didn't need it or want it, then there would be no addiction. Get the love thoughts out of your head. There is nothing to love about smoking. Admit to being addicted to it. Quitting is hard, but you can do it. Go through the quit program tools. Set a quit date. Once that date comes, get rid of all smoking paraphenalia -- ashtrays, lighters, smokes, everything. It doesn't do any good to keep that stuff around. Then log in here and read and post as much as you can. We've all been where you're headed. The wonderful people here can give you a hand whenever you need it. Live by the mantra N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) You know where that slippery slope will lead you. Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.

ask yourself just what it really IS about smoking that you "love"??? Every single one of them is a lie of some sort....a twist of the truth....a romanticism about smoking....an 'excuse' to keep smoking. when YOU truly want to 'quit' more that you want to 'smoke'??? When you see the addiction for what it is...(the controlling factor in your life) You will make the choice to stop and stick with it.

begin now, focusing on what you already know....that you lived well withOUT smoking! If you will make lists, there is NOTHING positive about smoking and EVERYTHING positive about quitting. You may quit and you may maintain a quit for even a long period of time, but you have got to let go of that junky thinking that smoking somehow improves your life....that thought is a big fat lie. Are we outspoken...yes we are....it's cause you have got to see the truth.....but at the same time I seem to lecture, my hand is reaching out for yours to pull you into this fold of safety and support. You CAN do this and you can change your thinking about it also......so be prepared to make this site your home. there are no stupid questions and there is always an ear for whatEVER is bugging you. Speak right up.....everyone is here to help Katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1478 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 59,137 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $8129 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 192 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39
