If there has been a set back or a cheat, DO NOT beat yourself up over it. Accept it, and continue toward your goal. Truly it is a mind f**k emotionally to even think of quitting. Those of you who are in the midst of doing so have surpassed that first emotional hurdle. I vividly remember how the mind starts messing with you even just thinking about quitting. More than 3 years now for me and I have never looked back.

You have the strength, you hold the power, you are so worth it! Know that you have my admiration for wanting to do this. It is not easy but so worth it!

Just wanted to say this thread has really helped me.
And Thank you for your support as well...smiles

Not quite there yet but on the 4th will be 4 months.

.Keep it up everyone!

Kick it!!
 
May 25, 2006, I became a non smoker -
I picked the date - May, being my mother's birthday month and the 25th, being the date of christmas -
My mother was laying in the hospital dying of cancer/COPD, and she begged me and my two younger sisters to stop smoking.
I loved my cigarettes!! But, I decided this was so important to her, I was going to do it - and I didn't tell a soul, I just picked the date & did it.
I gained 80 lbs in the process, but I certainly smell better.
Good luck to all of you!!

I am thrilled and amazed I stopped..Though 3 weeks ago I was told I have copd/emphysema alot with a few other things...Hard thing to swallow however maybe it stopped the big C...I can only hope. No cells yet.

Either way..it is a good thing I am stopped

Good job! Keep it going!!! Most of the nicotine is out of your body now. Cravings will still be there, though, mostly psychological. One day at a time.

That is what im talking about!!! how could i want to smoke with that kind of support :)

I want to lend my support to those who are trying to quit smoking... I know how hard it is! Keep up the good work, I promise it will get easier as time passes - not to mention you will feel so much better and get sick a whole lot less.

I will be celebrating my 2 year kick-the-habit mark come September (right around the time of the reunion!)
How did I do it? I moved! I lived with other smokers and it is just about impossible to quit if there is someone else who is smoking inside the house.

Daktari 06-06-2012 03:28 PM

Well done all who are keeping the faith and not giving up giving up. Fandabbydozy! :thumbsup: ...as the very short woman who dressed as a schoolboy on telly used to say

Go you G-snap...I celebrated my 2yrs nicotine free on the 26th of April just gone and it, along with with quitting alcohol are the best things I've ever done for myself.

It's been a relatively easy road I guess because I've been 'lucky' in that I have the fear that comes with lung disease. A new-found willingness to concentrate on my redeveloping my conscious contact with a higher power (mine happens to a christian God)also helps because I don't feel alone with my addictions. Sorry folks, it's 12 step speak all the way for me at the moment. :rolleyes:

Since returning to work on a 12 step programme it's been harder in some ways . These bloody addicts yanno, they all seem to smoke! There can be weeks where I'm triggered most days at meetings but I work those first 3 steps like a demon around my nicotine addiction and have still not smoked...not one puff! :groucho: The memory of that last near fatal chest infection sticks with me in full technicolour. :|


May the force with y'all :tinfoil:


Day 128
