I quit several years ago and successfully lived 2 1/2 years smoke free. Then I started picking up a smoke now and then while in the company of other smokers. And even though on a couple of occasions the cigarette made me so sick I had to lay down I proceeded forward until once again I'm addicted and I've been smoking now for about 2 years. I hate myself for starting again. I hate the money spent, the smell, the feelings of weakness and truly feeling like an outcast. None of my current friends smoke...but my husband does, my oldest daughter who lives on our property smokes as does her fiance'. I can't demand they quit too because it has to be a personal decisions....My youngest daughter is a health advocate and she watched her grandmother die of lung cancer. We went to live with my mom for the last months of her life and watched what life long smoking does. <!--more--> I had successfully kept my smoking a secret from her up until a few days ago. If I continue to smoke she will step out of my life and that would be a tremendous loss to me. So here I am...needing support as I start this new journey. Tomorrow I buy the patch, suckers and juice bars and an herbal helper if I can find one....Then it's onward and upward as I vision myself smoke free. I'm glad you're here. peace and joy julie Hi, I've chosen Wed. as my quit date. I quit several years ago and successfully lived 2 1/2 years smoke free.

Pam Heather said:- Dear Joy, Don't worry. Everyone misunderstands me. I'm a confusing kinda person. Not only did I not do anything Steve said, I didn't do anything he said. Still, i'ts nice to be here and lend encouragement to others who are in the same boat as me. Good luck. PS Day 11 and not a fag in sight! YIPEE!

It will be my first day back to work and I don't want to go through my first 3 days dealing with my home life. My granddaughter is only 8 but has designated herself my quit smoking coach. Events in her life has required her to grow up very fast so I explained to her about nicotine withdrawal and told her Sunday is suppose to be the hardest day. This is perfect timing because she can help with the boys on Sat and Sun. I will have to make a lot of ABCs to get me through Friday morning with my youngest grandson. I have decided it will be easier to deal with him than to fight trying to get my daughter up to take care of him. I may try talking to her but then again that may lead to more frustration than I can handle. India I am setting my quit date for the 28th. It will be my first day back to work

I know what you mean about quitting being scary. One day I feel like I am ready and the next I remind myself of my grandson toting his stuffed toy away in case he gets lonely or afraid. My cigs being the stuffed toy. I quit for 14 months then decided 3 months ago to smoke the famous "just one pack" and here I am. I thought it would be easier this time but it seemed to be a lot harder until I found cog quit and met Steve and Pam. I have a tendency to go on-and-on so better get off before I do that.
