I really want to quit

for 19 år siden 0 +0 / -0 150

Cuddles- a personal story. I was TOLD to quit (this is a two-pack a day person) by my doctor. Told me if I didn't quit, I would probably have a stroke. So....came home, scared to death, and cut WAY down... I had three cigarettes. I was SO proud of myself!!! Next day, the doc called with some test results. She asked me if I had quit, and I said, " I only had THREE cigarettes yesterday!!" I was really happy to tell her that. She said, "WHAT!!??? I thought I told you to QUIT SMOKING!!!" I was devastated. Now I know that she was right. I was either going to smoke, or not smoke. Now, some distance away from that experience, I realize that it was much harder to decide when I was going to smoke those two or three cigarettes (total torture) that it was to just NOT SMOKE AT ALL!!! DUH!!!

Hang in there, Cuddles. This is going to sound a bit strange, but don't obsess about it. There is so much more to all of our lives than nicotene. We have to get on with it, for Pete's sake! (talking to myself here, too) Smoking cigarettes was not our whole lives, and certainly WILL NOT have control over us any longer. I just got back from a meeting that started at noon, followed by a subcommittee meeting. Walked out of the building at 3 p.m. I would NEVER have been able to do that before. Granted, I had one piece of gum, so I still have to beat the Nicorette. But for now, I am doing well. I have a sign on my bathroom mirror from Mary Englebreit what says "Well! Ain't YOU somethin'!! I love it. It reminds me of what I have accomplished. xx SILVER [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/17/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 122 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,681 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $793 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Who are you fighting with? Yourself? Throw away those butts, that a big temptation having them around. Now use your best advise on yourself and stay strong, you sooooooo can do this.

Hang tough Cuddles, you can quit if you really want to and I know you do. I'm still struggling along myself and believe me it isn't easy. Hang in there and we'll do this thing together.
