How did you find this site?
By pure chance, doing a search and then making a random post - it was not thought about - just a weird off the cuff thing to do
How long did you smoke? 22.5 years
How many quits? This I dont know. Up until last Sept, I had only quit twice, once for 7 weeks one for 3 months, since last sept, I have probably quit another 5 or 6 times, but for never more than 3 weeks at a time
How do you feel? I feel ok, I feel kind of sad about other things in my life. I feel sad that the nicodemon still has the power to try to trip me up... but i am happy i am winning. I am beginning to see a new me.
How confident are you that this is THE quit, the end-quit, the quit eternal? YES, this quit is different because i come here. Thats the difference for me. I just needed a support network. I couldnt give up, giving up, as too many people have given their energy in responding to my posts. I appreciate that, and would not throw that enerrgy or effort away.
What have you felt the need to change about the REST of your life since quitting? I dont smoke everywhere anymore. My car,my house, everywhere. My life is not determined by smoking any more. No longer is anything on 'hold' while i was smoking... I am trying to get fitter, I am respecting my body, and improving my image. I am trying to move house.
What made you start thinking about quitting?
I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, 3 years ago, and was told that if I didnt stop smoking, most likely it would kill me. I was also getting short of breath, and I hated the way that my skin was.
What method are you using to quit?
Zyban - but most importantly the support of this board.
