About Me:
Hey all,

I'm 24 years old currently seeking an MFA in Photography.
I've been smoking since 18 years of age and in the past year decided that I should eventually quit. Unfortunately, Mark Twain once quoted "Quitting smoking is easy, I've done it hundreds of times" and it happens to stick in my head and ring true each time.

At this point, I don't really know how to live without smoking, and hoping that a support group will help. Within the past few weeks I've decided to start getting in shape by running. As I'm sure you can all guess, it's been rather tough. Although I enjoy the results from exercising, I feel its only a small step to getting healthy. So here I am. Hoping I can get through this.

Well I guess this is the beginning of Day One

After being antsy all day, i finally caved and decided to go for it. I kept smoking and looking at the cigarette knowing i was going to quit one day, but no date decided. It's almost as if something clicked, and i found it to be pointless. So i drove to the store and bought some patches. Needless to say, the price alone feels like a waste if i don't commit to this. As i was driving home i was getting all jittery and what not, then i realized "what am i afraid of?" it's just a cigarette. So.. i… Continue

Random question for all of you out there

Out of curiosity, what is the best gap for deciding to quit and marking your actual quit day? Granted, my decision to quit is fairly new, but I'm not sure if I should let the decision sit for a while before going through with it, or if i should just go ahead and start? Thanks again, tony

decision day.. i guess

Well, ive been trying to decide when and how to quit for a while I forget where i was at, but I saw an ad for this website and thought i might look into it. As of right now, I like the different approach it takes into getting rid of the addiction, but knowing me, I'm not sure if I can make it though. I'm in the first part of it where im tracking my cigarettes per day and will eventually get into the separation. I find it weird cause most of my triggers are just "boredom" and it seems like every… Continue

Hello Tony and welcome to BecomeanEx.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.
