I just thought about the fact that I have been MyLotting and have not had a cigarette in 4 hours! I am pretty proud of myself. Yeah, smoking is bad for me-I know that already thanks...
Anyway, does MyLot help you to break or put off a bad habit that you have?

no, it doesn't help me in this way. i usually have the pack beside me so sometimes i just light one whenever i feel the urge. this site is fun and i enjoy the reading the discussions even if most of the time i don't respond. it's informative and it just shows how one situation can be viewed in so many different angles.

Hi lovin,
yes, mylot does help me with that. I am trying to quit as well and it is very very hard. going 4 hours is great i can't smoke where i live so i have to drive off of the property. With the cost of gas and all, i do try to just keep busy and prolong going out. Being on here does help a lot. Anything that keeps you busy and takes your mind off of things helps.

It is super hard I know! But at least sometimes being here gets my mind off it. Exactly! =-)

Oh I don't see anything wrong with being here. Learning and earning a little extra money, no harm in either of those things for me! =)

No it hasn't but it does help with stress when I get stressed out.

Wow~~~~What a strong power Mylot has! Though Mylot haven't helped me quit my bad habit, I know it is a good place to help people and know things about the world. I saw ur icon a beautiful lady, so I think smoking is really bad for u, it'll make ur skin shrivel and not that beautiful. So keep going~~~

Yeah I get so busy here I don't think about smoking as much...I only smoke outside because I have little ones inside so I have to stop what I am doing here to go out and smoke.

Hello, LovingMybabies! I have also slowed down with my smoking habit coz of too much Mylotting. So it just means that the addiction from smoke just went to Mylot instead! But that is one good thing, right? Cheers!

I don't smoke anymore LMB. I quit in 2001 after 34 years of being an addict. It nearly killed me. I don't think mylot would have made much of a difference. After 4 hours I would eventually remember and my body would have started screaming for the poison nicotine. For me it was needing a gastric bypass to save my life, but I had to stop smoking first because I would not survive the surgery.
I'm still on oxygen part time but lots better. I'm glad that I wanted something bad enough to live for.
I'm happy you went 4 hours, but since you thought of it, in thinking your body reminded you that you needed to smoke. I hope that you are not badly addicted. I hope when you are a grandmother that you are still healthy.

If you could quit after 34 years of smoking then I can quit after 10 years of smoking. I am addicted, unfortunately. I get so irritated and shaky every time I quit. I hate it so much. And I end up getting annoyed with other people, I don't want to be that way with my family and the other kids I babysit for... =( That is my biggest worry with quitting!
I did think of it but it just popped into my mind. I waited another hour after this before I went to smoke! I was too busy here. Lol.
I hope I am healthy once I am a grandmother too.

I used to go out whenever I feel bored at home and would usually end up spending for some things that I do not need.
When I discovered mylot, I minimized my habit of going out every now and then so this is a good thing for me as I also refrained from buying unnecessary things.
Have a wonderful day!

Well then that is a good thing that MyLotting keeps you from spending money! =)

Well, I think MyLot is a much better habit than smoking so I am okay with that!

hi LMb smoking killed my hubby but I am not going to preach, I think its great you are breaking an old habit and for me it smunching mindlessly on something just cause it tastes good and I am mylotting. . I am overweight and trying to keep going down as i started with 210 and am now 186 and i want to get to 150 as I have diabetes and it will help me to control my blood sugar even better. After all one does not need to munch on something all the time as i am not getting enough exercise to need all that.

Thank you Hatley for not preaching. I do know how bad it is, it is also a really hard habit to break as I am sure you know... I have been smoking 10 years now, I will quit but it's going to be rough.
I wish you the best of luck with not munching so much! I know you can do it Hatley, you are so strong. =)

That's good for you.. I also stopped one habit of mine and that is chatting to all online friends! :) Now I use my time writing here and happy responding some discussions. I'm happy to be here especially if I am alone. Right this moment is a big summer holiday vacation for me so I have lots of time to Mylot. It makes my time easy waiting tomorrow and next day that cant bored. So happy and to all "happy Mylotting too!" :)

Well, if talking to online friends was a bad habit for you then its good that you have MyLot to turn to! =)

My bad habit is wasting-time (or maybe procrastination). I need to be doing something all the time, else I'd feel I'm wasting my time. MyLot does provide me that activity where I'd feel productive.
Congratulations on not having a puff in 4 hours!
Maybe next time you could stretch it to 5, then 6, then 7, etc.
