Profile Information

About Me:
Well, I started smoking when I was 11, and I have been trying to quit since I was 14. While I was in high school, I wasn't very committed to quitting, however several times after graduation, I quit for months and even a whole year. Recently, I lost an Uncle to a congenital defect in the aorta which causes aneurysms to form. I found out that I too have this defect, and that the hardening of the arteries which can be linked to smoking can cause this problem to get worse. My mother quit smoking in July, and I think it's time to follow in her foot steps. My father has been quit for a long time now, close to 6 years, I believe. My sister and I still smoke, but I think it's my time to quit. I set my quit date for October 16th, wish me luck!
Edit - having some wicked-horrible chest pains today, so I moved my quit day to tomorrow... what they heck, it's only three days of hell and then it starts to go up hill..... right?

Hmm...

It's day three and it's strange but I didn't have a craving this morning when I woke up. It almost as if it isn't a natural thing anymore for me to have a cig as soon as I get up. I know cravings will come today, I'm still shaky and tense so I know I'm still in withdrawal, but I also know that I can make it through.

I have to go over to my sisters house today and look after her dog who had surgery on Friday. Although my sister smokes, she has never smoked in her house (she has a dog who… Continue

Day two

Just going to be really quick here, cause thinking about smoking causes some really bad cravings.
I made it through yesterday without dying... That's always a plus. I really had some horrendous cravings, and I hope they get better soon.
On the up side, I got quite a bit of work done on my blankets yesterday. I hope I can do more today.

Don't mind me...

I'm just sitting through my third real craving of the day, and it's pretty bad. Everything is annoying me, I think I may need to get away for a few minutes, go upstairs or something. Get away from everyone, escapism isn't healthy, but I don't care right now because it's either stay here and get annoyed with everyone and smoke, or go somewhere else and relax and don't. I've made it a few hours, so I'm not willing to set myself back again, even if it isn't that long.
It was only yesterday that… Continue

The day before quitting...

I am quitting tomorrow, I will be an ex smoker... I like the sound of that... I know that it's going to be hard, I've tried so many times in the past but was not successful. I know quite a few triggers now, and I'm sure I will discover more over the next little while.
My mother is an ex smoker, just hit her three month mark, and I figure if she can do it, so can I. My sister is going to quit tomorrow as well, but I'm not counting on her to help me. My partner and room mate are really the one… Continue

Hello Tony! There are lots of groups and discussions you can get involved with to help you with your quit. I smoked off and on for 35 years and finally quit for good over 4 years ago. This is my fourth time quitting. Having support really helped me with my quit. I'm so glad you're here! You no longer have to let smoking control every aspect of your life.
