Quitting smoking is really hard, but worth it! I know you can do it!

Good luck...reward yourself by saving the cig money for something special.

hang in there.

I wish you well.

How heavy a smoker were you? I quit cold turkey without any difficulty years ago but was only a very light social smoker. I've had friends that were heavy smokers that were able to quit with chantix years ago. Neither one have gone back.

Great! I'll be looking for daily updates! More power to you!

Best of luck, I know the pain. each time I failed I learned something for the next time. Mostly that I never want to go through the pain of giving up ever again. However bad it gets remember that's only more reason to not go back to square one. You can do this.

Good luck. I quit when I first got pregnant but didn't know it yet. Smoking made me feel sick and it was easy.

I wish you well! I tried quitting dozens of times before I finally did it. It's miserable, but worth it! I ended up just doing it with nicotine lozenges.

I don't know what "on blast" is... is it a drug? I tried Chantix, and had a bad experience. Chantix either works like a miracle drug or makes you insane. I was the latter. Got freakishly depressed. Like, craaaaaaaaazy. If you decide to try it, make sure you tell people close to you (friends, coworkers, anyone you see regularly) that you're taking it and that severe depression is a possibility. They will need to understand what's happening if you start acting "not yourself." Sometimes it's hard for the "crazy" person to realize she/he is crazy. You'll need some people keeping their eye on you.

You can do this! It sucks, it's annoying and obnoxious and irritating and infuriating, but it's worth it. I wish I had some great advice to make it better, but I don't. I wish you well!!!!

I used mini tootsie roll pops to help mouth be busy. I would totally own a craving, by saying out loud I wanted one. Or screaming it. It will only be day a day or two to get the nicotine out of your system. The mental withdrawals are much worse. You CAN do this. It will be ten years for me in Sept. I quit cold turkey after I planned a stop date. I smoked for about twenty odd years.

Awww babe... I wish you well. Good luck. Put them down and don't look back.

I know what you mean, I can't believe how much they cost. I smoked for 32 years and quit cold turkey. That was 17 years ago. When I started a pack was 35 cents, when I quit I was a 3 pack a day, can't imagine 3 packs at today's prices

It is hard but you can do it ! We will help you through. Been there myself, now 35 years a non smoker !

Try mindfulness meditation and/or hypnosis and/or nicorette inhalers. Give your mind and hands something else to do. If you take something away, without replacing it with something better, probability of success is radically reduced.

Even if you try and fail try again, eventually you'll get it done! I'm an ex-smoker of 40 yrs. , clean 10 yrs. Good Luck and hang in there. I was amazed at the amount of my I have now and not worried if I have enough cigs to last the night. Charging cigs on credit or debit cards, going out in inclement weather and down here in Florida going out during hurricane alerts to stock up. LOL

What's the point of putting smoke in your lungs ? Just think about that and it might help.

You don't need luck; you've got this!

You can do this. I haven't smoked now in 18 years. I tried twice before and didn't make it. You have to really want to quit. A non smoking buddy is good but know this also -- you cannot hang around with all your old smoking friends and become a non smoker. That doesn't work and they will not want you to succeed even if they say they are all for you. They would not want you to succeed at something they cannot do. I was a 2 pack a day smoker.

I wish you luck, and I somehow know you will be successful at kicking the habit.

If you haven't already got one get a no smoking buddy you can talk with at the slightest inclination to smoke. They help enormously. I ceased 2000 after 36 years of smoking in no small part helped by a stop smoking buddy.

Regardless of the cost. It should have been over with a long long time ago. But at least u have now taken the first and right step. Let's hear u have taken that second step. We waiting.

How are you doing with your new commitment? Ups and downs?
