irish This is a great decision and the benefits that you reap will, in the long run, outweigh the struggle. I would in the first instance take some time with the program...Go through all of the exercises, they are there for a reason and that reason will become apparent to you as you progress. Give your self a chance to get down and understand the why, where and how of your smoking. Remember, this is an addiction and as such can be a bit tricky. As addicts we are the observer of our behaviour as well as the observed. This can become a bit akward as you work to alter, not only your behaviour, but also your perception of smoking...All is not always clear as we gaze into the crystal ball and with nicotine, the truth about it can only become clear as we distance ourselves from it greedy little clutches... You have found a great place to work through this situation...I will tell you, as will many others, that without this place, I would still be chockin the smoke, wondering why and wishing I wasn't... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 212 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,360 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,484.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 38 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 48 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Are you planning to quit cold turkey? Do you have a plan in place to help you deal with those moments when you just do not think you can take it one day longer? Lots of people have put advice on here about how to cope, what methods they have tried and some problems you might experience on your road to recovery. The great thing too is that we are all going through the same process. Congratulations on your quit...happy almost birthday...and come here whenever you need help, it is so much easier then doing it alone. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 27 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 540 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $148.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 51

Cigarettes Not Smoked

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 24

hello all. well I'm new here and want to quit smoking. It's an awful thing to me and I don't know why I do it. Anyway..so I thought I'd join this "center" and hear from you all and get support, ideas, etc. I just had my last cigarette...I hope.....I'm not going to wait any longer to quit. I've wanted to quit for sooooooooo long that it just didn't make sense to me to try to wait any longer. It's like I've been planning this for way too long and just kept putting it off. But tomarrow is my birthday, so I want to start my next year off on the right foot.
