Day 1 the Decision!

[justliz2u]

I was lying in bed watching t.v. (couldn't sleep) and saw an ad for BecomeAnEx.org.  I jumped up and googled the website and saved it to my desktop so I could check it out in the morning.  Here I am, day one, and I have decided it is definitely time to quit!

I am armed and dangerous, rofl.  I have Commit lozenges (look like horse pills to me.)  I also have Nicorette gum and TarBar cigarette filters.  Oh yeah, this is not one of those impulsive decisions.  I have thought about this seriously ever since the last increase on cigarettes.  I am thinking there are much better things that I could be doing with my money.  Just think of all of the money I will save, not to mention the health benefits.  Yep, it's time.

I gave myself a quit date of January 1st.  I do not want to smoke one more year (having been a smoker 25+ years now.)  Here I will blog about my success, good days, bad days, and everything in between.

I applaud and commend all of you who have also decided it is time to quit and give up this nasty addiction.  I wish everyone success in beating the habit.

I don't like this new site either. I keep seeing my posts multiplied by three.

u can do this. not sure what the filters are u speak of? but i did the gum, i am at 92days, and i still chew the gum. yesterday i only chewed 2. but the bottom line is that it is addicting. i only say this as a warning, because i got sucked in. if i could go back i would've used it for the 1st week and then been done with it. Now, I am using excuses and I know it. I tell myself, hey im allowed to have a couple vices, gum and pop....all im saying is proceed with caution. But the decision to quit is HUGE. You can do this. I'm so happy you found this site. It was instrumental in my quit. I strongly believe it is the #1 reason that I made it. And once you make it, you will be SO happy. Im free.(when i first started and ppl said that i didnt quite realize..but now i do...do u know i got my hair cut one day and actually let her blow dry my hair bc i didnt have to run out for a cig...and trust me the list goes on endlessly) Do this for yourself and dont give cig companies the satisfaction of having control over ur life, and possibly even ultimately deciding ur fate and how one day u may die. its these scary thoughts that kept me going. You go get it!!!

Thanks for the positve support and well wishes.  It is appreciated.  I have the gum.  Much better than the commit lozenges.  Have you seen those things?  OMG horse pills!  I'm afraid I would OD on nicotine if I sucked on one of those things, rofl.
