Today, it's been six months that.... I stopped smoking...


And I have never touched a cigarette since.
And I won't....


Besides, it's been so darn AWFUL to stop, that I don't want to go through the whole thing again, ever.

Best of all?
I only put on 15 pounds and already lost 3 of those...









Disclaimer: oh, I know, I'm bragging. But for THIS, please let me brag, just for once...

thats excellent doll. Keep it up. I have stopped for about 7 or 8 years now, so long i dont even remember but i was told that all the gunk will be out of my lungs in about 10 years so those lungs of mine should be almost clean

I am so proud of you!! I know how hard it is to stop.. I quit smoking in 1983 and have never had regrets...and I was able to breathe so much better!!

Kudos to you

I had quit 3 times, each time for a year or more, kept it to myself and if anyone mentioned I'd quickly change the subject. Then, after believing I had conqured the habit I'd start talking about how I was able to overcome. Guess what, I began thinking more and more about how good they tasted and it wasn't any time and I was catching up. Bragging for me isn't the healthy thing to do !!

Sister you have my permission to brag all you want. Carolyn is trying to quit smoking while going through the cancer treatments and it is hard on her. As for me, that is one habit I did not pick up.

Kudos to you.

Thank you my friends...

As for the method: I started with Chantix. But after 4 days, I had to quit THAT because the side effects just totally wrecked my day. (Constant nausea, bad.. .)

After that, it was "free fall" on my own. And it was HORRIBLE...

I just had that one thought: "stay away from the convenience stores!"
It was several MONTHS before I could go into a convenience store for the first time again...

Besides that, the hardest time was in the evening. (When I still smoked, I could remain without smoking all day during work days. So the day time was not a problem.)
Sometimes, I thought I'd go crazy.
Then, I would say to my boy: "Just about NOW I would need a cigarette really badly"
He would then come and hug me and give me a bunch of kisses, and say "Don't smoke mama"....
What can I say? He's my little hero...

You go, girl!
Congratulations & continued good luck to you!
This past August 28th made 20 years for me!
I had a REALLY bad habit & used hypnotism to quit.

I'm proud of you! I know you are proud of yourself & I know it makes the little man happy & proud too!
