Well tonight I am starting smoke away. I had my last smoke 20 minutes ago. I am going to go crazy the next 3 days. I have been smoking for 8 years now.

Good luck!!! And remember- quitting an addiction is hard- and support helps!!! so every time you're tempted- post on TCS instead or pet one of your furbabies. Also - the average craving only lasts a few minutes- so if you can distract yourself in that time, you can last until the craving goes away
(try chewing gum and candy too - that will help
)

10 years later i still sometimes want a smoke.
The first week or 2 was the hard part. Hang in there, its not easy but you can do it.

Best of luck to you and lots of stopping smoking vibes. My mom quit 1 year ago on the 1st of the year. My dad is now trying. You can do it! It just takes determination!

I've been quit for 3.5 weeks now, and Bruce is right, the first 2 weeks are the hardest
and it really is mind over matter, you really have to be committed to this. I chewed ALOT of gum to help me and try to keep your hands busy too. Best of luck! it can be done!!!

I think you can go to the American Lung Associations website for some stop smoking tips.

Thanks everyone. This is just what I needed to see when I woke up. I have been up an hour and going nuts esp with the coffee. I can't give the coffee up too so I am suffering through it. It's amazing what your body goes through when you detoxic. My vision is blurry and I am sweating even though it's chilly here.

Holly I hope you joined in the quest!!!!

I am absolutely dying here. I lit one and let it burn out. I don't know if I can do this. I will never try drugs b/c I can't break an addiction. Going to take a hot shower.

Unfortunately, I didn't join your quest.


However, I need to...I just need to be more prepared and ready, which will be fairly soon.

You can do this, I know you can. Make a to-do list, and keep busy. Drink lots of water...chew gum, and chew hard candy. Stay distracted, and break some of your normal routines you had that would typically lead into a cigarette.

You can do it!

I can't do this now. I am seeing things flying like dust or bats. I have to prepare better and try again later. I don't know how people do it.

None of us will judge you if you can't do it now. Only you will know when it's time......I just pray that your time does come...........we're all here for you!!!
