I work with alot of people that smoke. When one of us quits, everyone watches. They ask questions at break time. "How do you feel. Are the cravings gone yet? Do you still want to smoke?" It is so hard to explain to someone who is not going through the experience. But, it is so obvious to me that they are envious. They are just like I was; a smoker who wishes that they did not smoke. During the four years that I have been there, 5 women in my department have quit and one man. One woman was totally "over it" at 3 1/2 months..no desire to smoke. One woman got the quit smoking shot and was DONE with smoking; that was it for her; (of course, her having half a lung removed might have been a HUGE motivator) One woman is still using the 4 mg nic lozenges daily after two years. One woman was clean for 5 months, went back for a month, and now has been clean for over a year.On woman is only in her second month and is using the lozenges. The man followed the patch program EXACTLY as instructed and never smoked again. But, the most important ingredient is mental. NOPE has to be ingrained in our lives. It has to be the primary belief that will keep us smoke free. If you mentally make smoking NOT an option, you will be able to get through the craves, the triggers, and the temptations. None of us are perfect. My journey to becoming smoke free has been a LONG drawn out process. It has been difficult, to say the least. So, we all have to find our own way, as long as we get to the desired goal; freedom from nicotine.

I also scored very high on the addiction test.Quitting is probably the hardest thing that I have ever done. I'm glad it is easy for some; but with my experiences and life, it is hard for me to imagine. So, newbies, be ready for anything! Just don't smoke.

Lady, et al., When I was a newbie here I posted constantly in support of the others here. Most of my posts had a central theme.. quitting takes: [b][color=red]Strength, Determination, Commitment and A Positive Attitude[/color][/b]. Nothing has changed in the 16+ months I've been quit. Nothing. The only thing that is unique in the quit process is how we personally react to our quits. The one constant is that we all react differently. Some people have an easy time, others don't. Why? I'm no shrink. Why is it that some can quit and others can't even fathom it, even in the face of death? The best advice for anyone newly quit or considering quitting is to arm yourself with all the knowledge you can. Read all of the health web sites, read all the posts here, read all of the Hall of Fame stories. Read. Learn. My credo is [b][color=blue]"Knowledge Replaces Fear"[/color][/b]. When you know your enemy, you can conquer him/her/it. [b][color=Purple]Be Strong. Be Smart. Be Quit[/color] [color=black]Joe[/color] [size=3][color=Blue]Knowledge Replaces Fear[/color][/size] [size=2][color=black]Illegitimus non carborundum est[/color][/size] [size=2][color=purple]Hoping for success without hard work is like trying to harvest without planting.[/color][/size][/b] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/15/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 514 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,865 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1259.3 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 90 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43

Hugs for "gonna do it". Stay close and vent as much as you can. Read every post you can get your hands on. Replace your addiction with SSC sore butt syndrome. Whine, cry, sleep, eat, throw stuff, pound pillows...just don't smoke. Reward yourself often. I never thought I could do it either, and here I am ovr a year later. You WILL get the hang of it, and once you taste the freedom, you will wonder what in the heck took you so long.

Since quitting is a process, personally, I think learning what may or may not happen mentally and physically and being prepared to hit it head on with determination and as much confidence as we can muster is a key component to a successful quit. "Hope for the best, expect the worst, accept what comes" Not every day is good, not every day is bad (such is life)... but every single day is completely doable.

Each time I come on site to read there are threads like this. I love the diversity of our opinions. Positive attitude was the way for me this quit, and it really helped, but it was no walk in the park! We all do things diferently and take a longer or shorter time to feel comfortable with our quits. It may happen quickly then again, it may not. The thing that matters is that it happens!!! While it is all happening, a bit of tolerance of others methods and opinions goes a very long way to support. In that way, no one is made to feel guilty when they have a bad time. Some people have lower self-esteem than others. For some of the newer quitters....hang in there, as your self-esteem goes up the longer you are quit! WHATEVER IT TAKES, JUST DON'T SMOKE!!!

But please note new quitters that it may not be as difficult as suggested here. For many of us the quit has been relatively easy with little or no sturm and drang attached. When reading posts on this site please take what you need and leave the rest. Good luck with your quit whichever way it cuts and I hope you are as successful at it as I have been. Penitent on my 876th consecutive day smokefree.

Lady, Thank you for sharing your experience. Thank you for advising that all quits will be different. New members will note all the information that is provided by all our members :) They key is sharing the experience and letting us learn from one another. It is a step by step process, easy or hard, fast or slow, we can all do this. You have all made a great choice to stay quit and we are always here to help and not judge :) What was the most important thing you learned from quitting? Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
