I am feeling really good today. I have actually taken the first step to quit

I am glad that you are feeling good today about quitting smoking. That takes alot of strength, willpower and courage to do. I have thought about quitting but I enjoy it too much to do so. I have been smoking for many years also and I know it is an expensive, nasty habit but it is one of the few things that I enjoy doing. You can also try to use the patch to help you quit smoking. good luck and i hope it works for you.

hey Congrats for taking the first step towards a smoke-free healthy life! I'm not a smoker but i think i can understand how difficult that must be, but with your courage and willpower, you will definitely succeed in your quest. See, its been 13 hours and I bet you are feeling good and strong. Other than chewing nicotine gums, i heard from people who have quit smoking that when you feel like lighting up, you can get a pen and simulate the smoking action. Take it slow and easy, one step at a time, you will definitely succeed!

Well I am really proud of you and I do hope that you do it I have been stopping on and of but I keep returning to them well I have to stop because of my Illness or I will not be around long so my Doctor reminded me again today It is so hard I do not drink I have had to change my Life totally because of this Illness and now I am to give that up to but I guess I will have to I am going to find out tomorrow what the best thing is for me The Patches keep coming of so they are no use at all Good Luck Sweet and keep it up

Way to go! Keep hanging on. I'm proud of people like you who have the initiative of doing so. . . I've been wanting to quit my vice too, never tried nicotine gum so i guess have to go buy one first thing in the morning tomorrow and see what will happen next. Goodluck and I hope that's not temporary. haha! (",)

Congratulations, it's not an easy task and I commend anyone who do this. I would suggest drinking lots of water - supposedly it helps flush the bad stuff out of your system and find a 'habit' to pick up that is good - needlepoint, crochetting, something to do with your hands other than picking up food (I quit and gained 15 pounds because of my system slowing down and my eating rather than smoking).

Yay! I'm so happy with your decision. This will be a huge achievement for you and I want to wish you the best! Let me know how the progress goes so I can convince my dad to stop smoking too. He's over 50 and it cringes at the fact that he has been smoking for over many decades. I wonder how his lungs look like right now...scary. They are probably gray right now. Anywho, keep us posted!

Congrats! I just quit too. I am not using anything though. I am sick right now so that is helping me not smoke too. I have more then 24 hours right now.

Good for you! The quit smoking aids actually work if you find the one that is right for you. For me it was the patch. But for different people different methods work. Good luck!

cONGRATULATIONS AND GFOOD LUCK. nICOTINE IS A BAD HABIT THAT'S VERY HARD TO KICK. i'VE TRIED IT MYSELF Many many times. I've been on Zyban, Ive used patches, the gum almost everything except hypnosis. I have smoked for 45 years. I also NEED to quit but I'm just not ready yet it seems. Again good luck sweetie. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I'm happy for you. I still can't do the same.. :(

Wow! Congradulation! I wish I had the will to take that first step. I have been smoking for 15years now and no matter how hard I try I just can't kick the habbit. Nonetheless, I am happy for you! Good Luck

good for you! They have a new pill out now that makes you ill if you light up. I have a few friend's that are trying it now and it does work well.It's not cheap though.

haha, actually i`m not smoking but sometimes we need to do something with our lifestyle.. better long live.. anyway congratz brO

I just quit smoking too, I quit on Mother's Day. I made a promise to my mom for Mother's day. I even put it in writing. It has actually been easier than what I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, I do want a cig. I have taken a puff from my DIL cig. Good Luck to both of us, we can do it.

congratulations... i hope you can stick to your decision... it takes a lot of willpower and determination in order to quit smoking... i hope you can do it and i bet you will feel healthier after you quit... think of the money that you can save as well by not smoking... good luck...

Friend smoking cannot be stopped immediently.It should be stoped step by step.you should not stop it abruptly because your body will not withhold the pressure exerted by it.And when you see someone smoking you will be tempted and your prressure level will increase.so decrease the amount day by day and stop.

I am so happy for you hope it works out for you. I have been trying for a long time to do the same and find it very hard but i will never give up. It is very hard to do but worth it. I will beat this and i hope you do to i wont let it be my master. Keep us updated to how you are doing and even if you slip dont give up and i wont either hope that we can both be smokefree in the future.

I'm really happy for you! Quitting smoking is a very hard thing to deal with. I quit for 4 months, and regret, that yes I ended up smoking again. The reason I started back up was due to stressful situations. I thought I was ready for anything, and I tried hard not to let things get to me, but they did, and I ended up smoking again. I will be trying again soon to quit. The plan I had made was to make lists about why I had to quit smoking, and I told myself why I had to do it. I had also set a quit date. I had made many changes to insure I would quit. Here are some of them. Got rid of all ashtrays, no smoking in my house, I ate pumpkin seeds like crazy. I also had this little plastic stick from a lolypop that I would hold in my hand or just bite on,and yes it does help. I would also use it in my car. We all have to smoke in the car lol. I also would talk to myself everyday. The only thing that really got to me was the fact that I was hungry all the time. I was not worried about gaining weight. But the empty feeling in my stomach is what got me. I didn't crave smoking just something to fill my stomach. I am not a munchie person, so eating was like a chore for me. Check out different support forms on the web, they are very helpful.

Congratulations... Smoking harms ur health and burns a hole in ur wallet... So its good to stop now... COntinue working hard and do let us noe when u have quit successfully... We will be so proud of u.. I have heard of candies helping to curb smoking too...
