Breathe fresh air
How I did it: I basically focused on all the negative things that cigarettes bring and do to you (basically everything), and weighed it against any benefits I get from smoking (virtually nothing). Also, I am a person who does whatever I want, whenever I want and I WANTED to stop smoking. I convinced myself that I was a "slave" to Philip Morris and I had to free myself. Read how I did it…

Healthy
How I did it: I learned about Chantix, the "stop smoking drug" about 6 months prior to my actual quit date. I got the prescription about 3 months prior. And then, i finally set the date. Prior to this, I smoked for 25 years - love to smoke and never thought i would quit. But, I want to be healthy and don't want to affect the health of those around me. So, I set my date and quit. On May 22, it will be 2 years.Though i still get the urge every once in a … Read how I did it…

Proud of myself
How I did it: I quit 03/11/08 when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. She and Dave we my motivation to quit. Without them I probably wouldn't have had the strength to do it by myself, since I've attempted many many times before and failed. I'm so proud of myself for quitting:) Read how I did it…

FEEL HEALTHY!
How I did it: For me personally . . the only way I could do it is to quit drinking for the first two weeks as well. Otherwise, it would have been impossible. Drinking and smoking go hand in hand for me. I was doing a lot of both. It made it SOO much easier for me to get myself off.Plus I was starting a detox diet as well (after the ten lb gain holidays YUCK!). I only ate organic foods and whole grains) I was become all around healthier!Also . . I think… Read how I did it…

Smoking drags me down...
1 month ago
So I’ve come to the conclusion that cigarettes may be the root of all evil in my life and I’m ready to test the theory. So far, I’m not doing so well. My first attempt got me a full day until 9:45 or so. I broke down and bought 1 pack. I’m almost through with it now, but I plan to start again tomorrow.

You know that it’s time to quit your 12 year habit when it’s killing you. I can’t breathe as well as i used to, and I’m always nasally congested. I miss my sense of smell, my taste buds, and being able to run and swim without having to stop to hack up a piece of tarred lung.
and I’m allergic to the patch, btw. baller.

Ok, So want to quit…but maybe I’m not trying hard enough.
as of recent, things in my life have become (believe it or not) even more stressful.its been becoming increasingly more difficult for me to quit…I’m back up for about 4 a day sometimes more.
I’m trying to find a way to cope with life when it gets stressful, without smoking cigarettes…..and its has not been easy.
For the past month, I’ll say “this is my last pack…when this is done that’s it!”
(there is no way I’m flush a pack that cost $9.00!)
But i don’t get very far in the day without feeling like I am about to lose it if i don’t get one…
