stop smoking for good!!

I’ve had enough of smoking. I have smoked for around 10 years and it’s more than enough! I really want to give up once and for all, including ‘crafty’ fags and most of all smoking with an alcoholic drink (the most tempting)

I always stop for only a month, and then start again when I’m a little stressed.. so stop for good!

and I quit. end of story.

I should have kept a better idea of when exactly I stopped, but I think it’s been between 3 and 4 months now. I’ve relapsed a couple of times and smoked when with my smoker friend or when drunk, but I’ve not gone all out and bought any. It’s been so hard, I never thought I could last this long, and I miss nicotine all the time.

Even writing this is giving me a craving! But I’ll stick it out. My lungs feel a lot clearer and I smell better =)

I quit smoking three months ago and now I have the ultimate motivator: my baby! Finding out I was pregnant was more than enough to keep my motivation going strong because I have someone other than myself to worry about now.

Okay. I’m having problems quitting. I’ve been stressing lately, and it doesn’t help that I tend to do it at home. I’m a closet smoker as far as my family and some friends go. I also am a social smoker. I have people in my carpool who I readily smoke with. I’ve been smoking on and off for about twelve years. I will try very hard to quit within the next six months. Hopefully for good. I’ll see if I can enlist my carpool mates since they seem to be struggling to do the same. But… I guess the first step is admitting I have problem;)

I have tried sooooo many times to quit I’ve lost count! I will be 40 next year and I want to have stopped by then.

I have found myself to be an “off and on” smoker since high school. I guess in a sense i’m lucky, because I don’t feel any urge to smoke except under extreme stress. But I wanna stop for good. So the next time I’m under major stress.. I have to resist. Let’s see how I do ^^

It’s been a little over 36 hours since my last cigarette. My aunt went into the hospital about 48 hours for a variety of health issues and a lot of them can be traced back to smoking. I myself have smoked a little over ten years and each time I’ve tried to quit has been a failure. I’m so scared this will be the way it is now, but I figure it can not hurt to try. I’m armed with sunflower seeds, gum, and the knowledge that my aunt might just be dying.

Been smoking for around 40 years. Good grief what a horrible waste of time, money and energy! I hate that I smoke and yet I can’t seem to let these things out of my life.
