I have decided to honestly quit.
HI, I am Cecile and a nicotine addict. I joined the group some time
ago. Tonight, I remembered the Dr. telling me I have a mild case of
Emphysema. I didn’t know what he was telling me. I got on the
internet and started reading. I am now conviced I must quit NOW! I
have had a hard time making it past the 15 hour mark. My silk quit
meter says I have been quit for 5 hours, 33 minutes and 44 seconds. 5
cigarettes not smoked, saving $0.29. Life saved: 25 minutes. Boy I
can’t believe it! I got so engrossed in learning about Emphysema I
didn’t even realize the time that had passed. I suggest that anyone
who is still smoking go to the search engine and look up emphysema.
It sure opened my eyes and hopefully. my lungs. Reading those stories
was like reading my life. I am determined not to let things go any
further than they have because of constant smoking.
I hope you don’t mind a lot of post and questions. I intend on
finding out the list for the first 72 hours of quit. I have read it
before but really need it now! I need the goals it will provide me.
The celebrations I can have because I have not smoked for that long
and all the support I can get.
Pray for me and hold my hand is what I am asking for besides all the
information of the first 72 hours. Please send me a link or a email
with this information.
God Bless you all. I am Cecile and am a non smoker!

Hi, I’m Molly, and I’m a nicotine addict… I’ve been sober Three weeks, one
day, 10
hours, 2 minutes and 27 seconds. … and it’s getting more difficult by the hour
to
keep ahead of those urges.
I’ve been to the site and I think that’s saving me, that I am trying to thing
things
over… too bad I didn’t find this material before I quit! But I am going around
muttering to myself ” Is there any circumstance in while smoking is a viable
option?”
… I can’t seem to get any further, but at least that gets me through the
minutes…

Thank you Pam… I have read some of the material;, but I am sorry to say that I
find
the website extremely difficult to read… I am downloading the relevant points
(takes
a little while on my snail-like dialup) and once I get the back ground and font
color
tags removed, I am imagining I will be able to focus a little better.
I sort of stuck in the beginning, last time I did this - I understand about
Warren and
all… but I have been walking around asking myself if there is any situation in
which
smoking is an appropriate response (NO so far, but it doesn’t feel solid) and
trying to
feel my body (at ALL - I have fibromyalgia and CFIDS… guess my body gave up
trying to talk to me awhile back…) … thanks you for your answer, and I am
looking
forward to this journey
regards, Molly
