I tried 3 times.
Since 2004, my new year's resolution was to stop smoking, but to no avail. I can't have even 1 day w/o a cigarette. After going to quitnet.com website, I finally got ready and was able to prepare myself to quit. today is my 28th day without even a puff of cigarette. :) I still working on it and I know I'll continue doing this. :)

thanks! it is very, very hard but i believe in myself. I don't want to have lung cancer. just for advise, if you are not ready yet, don't force yourself. try to prepare first before doing it. PREPARATION is the key, for me. :) it helped a lot. i suggest that you try visiting quitnet.com. c",)

I tried to quit smoking many many times. Each time I got pregnant, I was able to quit until after the baby was born. I knew the hazards to the baby if I didn't. So that was 4 times just right there. My husband says, quitting is the easy part, it's not lighting up again that's hard. He's so right. We have both finally quit smoking now. It has been 5 months for us. We used the commit losenges to do it. Of course it helped alot that I was extremely sick. I woke up that Saturday morning unable to take in much of a breath at all. Talk about scary. I told myself and my husband that that was it. I was not going to smoke anymore and I haven't. We didn't even need to follow the whole 12 week course of commit. It's much easier if you are really ready and want to do it and to have someone to go through it with you is alot nicer than going it alone! I agree that it helps to prepare first too.
