Quitting Smoking

Tweet

I need some help here... I actually had quit smoking for at least 12 weeks when I was in the Army. But as soon as I made it out of Basic Combat Training just the smell of a cigarette made me want one. So, since I was able to buy cigarettes, I did. And now it's been over a year that I started up smoking again and I really want to quit. I hate being tired, thinking it stops me from eating, expecting that to be my security blanket when I'm stressed out, being out of breath from just walking up the stairs...it's just ridiculous...and don't even get me started on the price of cigarettes. It's gonna keep going up just like our gas. I remember a time that I used to tell myself that if cigarettes got to $3.00 per pack I was quitting. Now, here in Colorado, they are almost $4 per pack, but I know in other states they are sometimes $6 and even more. I have children that I want to see grow up and I'm afraid if I keep smoking it won't be as long as I want it to be. I have slowed down my smoking to the point that 1 pack usually last 2 1/2 days when it used to last only one. Anyway, the reason for this post is this: Have you ever tried quitting smoking? Have you ever fallen back and started smoking again even after you quit? What are some successful ways for quitting? Any advice on ways to deal with things (like eating more, stressing more, crying no matter what
