Trying to quit.

[tigerbob]

I'm trying to stop smoking at present. 30 years of Marlboro Lights is working against me.

Please be supportive and if I get pissy with you cut me some slack, OK?

Good luck!

Good luck!

Perhaps that should be wished on the unsuspecting crowd..

Good luck!

I've got to try, but not today.

They'll probably need it around the 3rd. Takes 72 hours for me to reach 'obnoxious and patronizing'. Right now, I'm just a cat on a hot tin roof.

The number of times I've said that!!!!

I've been pondering quitting now for nearly a year. I've only tried once to quit, about 10 years ago. This time it will be 'all or forget it.' Time is coming.

I'm using Snus, so no prob with the nicotine thing. Just a case of trying to break the habit...

It only took me around a year of telling myself "I am not a smoker" about a hundred times a day. After that first year I was able to start telling myself less often but, to this day, whenever somebody talks about smoking or I see it in print I still have to remind meself "I am not a smoker".

If I can do it, anyone can!

I quit cold turkey after trying the patch and gum....then I'd go out with my friends drinking and bum a ciggy and next thing you know,,,,,


So one day I just said F-it, haven't smoked since!


Yeah, you'll be a bitch for about 2 weeks.....but it's worth it!



Just do a lot of this so you don't do this even though you'll want to do this while having a nic fit, just think, when it's all over you'll be this just don't get and light up and try to avoid because it will make you want to and you don't want that!

I wish anyone who is trying to quit much luck!

Just keep telling yourself that you want to live to see your grandchildren!!

I remember that picture. From the QuitNet! Ever been there? I quit smoking almost ten years ago.. I used a combination of some drug used mainly for depression cannot even remember the name right now. I used the drug plus the step-down patches. Three weeks on the medicine, then applied the patch and I was a non smoker. It still was very hard. For the rough patches when you feel like that cat on a hot tin roof take a nice long warm shower, it helps two ways, it calms you and it flushes nicotene from your pores. Yes, it's even clogging your pores along with your arteries. Take as many naps as you can. Day by day repeat "I choose not to smoke" "I choose not to smoke." Did I mention the QuitNet? I cannot recommend it strongly enough. Group support.
