Jewels 0 #52 August 27, 2007 Aw, Lisa, I'm so sorry. It will get better. I'm pulling for you all the way. It will be such an incredible freedom to have this all behind you. Don't give up ground you've gained! TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel sick. This is worse than kicking a drug habit. Believe me, it is a drug habit.....nicotine is more addictive than heroin, just think about the crap people go through quitting that......smoked for roughly 10 years, quit cold-turkey once for nine months and the last time I used the patch on an excellerated program (I only ran through each phase for a week). The patches helped a lot. And it's still hard sometimes even though it's been a year, you get cravings every once in a while.......especially at the dz, a lot of people smoke there. But it's worth it. Just remember, you can do anything you put your mind to....and you're in violation of your face! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 0 #57 August 30, 2007 Wow... You're already doing better than I am... I quit yesterday and ended up smoking 3 yesterday Same thing again today. I think I'll try to keep it under 3 for tomorrow and make the 1st the new official quit day. Anyone wanna bet me 100 bucks? Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvtofly 0 #58 August 31, 2007 I know what you're going through. But my quitting is more of an involuntary thing. It's just a matter that I can't afford cigarettes right now. But I guess it's as good a reason as any to quit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
