About Me:
I've been trying to quit smoking for good for the last two years. I quit, then I have "just one" and that starts a whole traiin wreck of sneaking cigarettes, etc etc. This site is very helpful. I love the commercial with the guy and his coffee, no cigarette. That's me.

Hi Lucie! I read your post about smoking while alone. Like Reva Burke said, quitting is for YOU! You don't smoke in front of others because you know they expect you not to. They know you can succeed. Now you just need to remind yourself of that. When you are alone, there is still one person present: you. Hold yourself accountable. I know when I relapsed I felt guilty and ashamed. I had failed MYSELF. You are the one person you will never be away from, so listen to the voice in your head saying "No!! But I thought you quit?!". Just because it comes from inside you and not from a friend, does not make the point less valid. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!

Hey Lucie I read your comment on sneaking away to smoke? Well give yourself a pat on the back atleast your trying! But also remember when your alone and want to smoke that the main person your quiting for is "you"! Your worth it and who cares what others think your trying and not everyone understands us because not everyone smokes! Im proud of you and I know its very hard but keep up the good work! I award myself mentally every hour I don't smoke! Im currently keeping track of my cigs in a pocket notebook. Basically recording how many and the times. Yesterday was my first day and I smoked 9 cigs! But I usually smoke 20! So I was very proud because Im making progress! Today I have smoked 8 cigs so far and havent smoked for 4 hrs. straight and I have to say thats the longest I havent smoked since I started smoking a pack a day and that has been a little over a year now! So I know it can be hard so be hard on yourself when you have to and give yourself an award for your hardwork too! Its been working for me! Good Luck! Oh add me as a friend I would love to talk to you more!

Hello Lucie! Welcome to Become an Ex.org! This is the BEST stop-smoking website! I'm 54 and this is my 4th attempt at quitting smoking, and I haven't found it necessary to smoke since July 17, 2004. Quitting is scary, but it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's a lifestyle change, and also a newfound freedom and feeling of contentment I could never imagine before. You may hate the beginning of your quit, but deal with it the best you can. You won't have to go through it alone because you have us now.
