Description

Single mom. Smoked for most of 23 years. Anywhere from a half a pack a day to maybe a pack and a half. Before this quit I was smoking 1/2-3/4 a pack a day - hard to remember now. Some really short quits (less than a month) over the last 14 years. Quit for 6 months in 2004/2005 after having major surgery and being hospitalized with a morphine drip for over a week. But then I thought I could have just one when I was really stressed out...and you know how that goes. I've been a member since April 2008 - I was pregnant with the wee one and trying to quit. At the time I don't think I got much past signing up because I wasn't very motivated because I had just given in and smoked when stress hit - it's in my blog.

I quit 9/14/2013 with Chantix. And with help from the people here, and educating myself and learning that all I have to do is just not smoke.

9/14/14 I did it. I have just not smoked every single day for 365 days in a row. I believe that YOU can do this too. And when you decide that you want to quit more than you want to smoke, you will succeed. And then you can make other goals and know you can achieve them. There is no "I can't" - only you convincing yourself you won't. ❤️

About the Author
I quit with the help of Chantix on September 14, 2013. I did the pledge. I wrote. I answered other people. I had to teach myself that smoking didn't actually make anything easier or better. I learned other coping techniques. I made friends here. I just didn't smoke each day.
