I want to quit smoking

I wake up at 3 or 4 am and cannot go back to sleep….too much coughing, sleeping in my recliner, unable to lie flat, without feeling like I am under water, gasping for breath….
This just isn’t something I want to do anymore..I want to feel good..

Dear State of PA,
I love you, should the truth be known..the change of seasons, winter, spring, summer, fall….
Let me limit this letter strictly to Western Pa..make it, more personal…...I love the way you move me, inspire me..I mean. who else can claim Six Super Bowl Rings? The Pens, last year, almost claiming the Stanley Cup..Pitt, basketball team….
There is Polish Hill, the Southside, the Strip, in which you grab my hand and offer me endless weekend entertainment…
But I must say, we had a falling out this morning, and I tried to remember all that was good about you…
but I had a mere $4.00 on me…as I slipped into Co-Go’s, attempting to buy that pack of smokes, that only cost me $3.67, Tuesday night..it hurt, when the cashier rang up $5.00, for generic, Wednesday morning…..
Oh, I was devasted…you have so much to offer, state of Pennsylvania, you tempted me to stay here, in this state, and just like a bad relationship, I am left standing at the counter, my jaw dropping, thinking..how can PA taxes do me like that?

I want to quit smoking because I want to see my ten year old son get married and raise a family. He is my only child and I want to be a grandfather in the worst way.

well i’m in my mid 30’s… and have been smoking since my early teens… it’s sooo damn hard to quit, though i know it need to be done.
i also sing in a band and i have noticed that vocal range is getting smaller. if i want to sing anything other than one note by the time i’m 40, i know i need to quit.
i can’t do the patch, i have an allergic reaction to it, i can’t do the gum because the taste of it makes me want to vomit.. and don’t get me going about the games my head plays on me when attempting cold turkey… i need a better option.

I know this goal gonna b not that easy to acheive, but I will give my best this time to put an end to it. Enough Now.

i quite for about a year with my husband and picked it back up again…the plan is to quite once we decide to have kids, but i don’t know how long that will take. i enjoy smoking so very much and i know it will be much harder to quite this time

Made a trip to the doctors Friday! A bad bout of strep throat in the middle of summer, is bad enough! Add on to that a Blood pressure reading of 150/100 and that just stinks! I know, its not my weight, but my smoking habit that has brought my blood pressure to an all time high! I will follow up with my family doc, get on the right meds and than change this goal from I want to quit smoking..to I have stopped smoking…I am sure I will still want to write about how hard it is, so I need to leave it up, but I need to make it more of a goal as opposed to just a wishful thought!

I stopped biting my fingernails..terrible habit, but not deadly..I am very proud of myself! If I can start small, maybe, just maybe, I can do the BIG no smoking thing…...It is such a mental battle for me…I went to a wedding tonight the bride was 26…if I stop smoking soon, I might live long enough to see, my six year old marry the love of her life…...I’ll be 66..I want to be a healthy 66, even if she decides, not to marry

feel incredible sorry for Amy Winehouse…how sad is that..when you actually justify other peoples bad behavior..because you..have her habit..NOT GOOD!

well they say 2 nd day is the hardest, but no matter what i am not going to give up. i have even stopped meeting friends who smoke. i seriously think i need lot of new friends.
