On Wednesday, I had a lung test ......the results were horrific. I quit smokimg about 30 minutes after. This is my 60th attempt to quit. I have smoked for 35 years.
What spurs me on this time is that a work colleague wrote a note to the effect that she hopes I continue smoking and die so that she can take my job. Inspirational and classless.
Hooray for your decision to Quit and Welcome. I smoked for 45 years and Quit in response to a scary medical diagnosis. We are all here to help you, but you need to help yourself to make this your final Quit. Educate yourself on the addiction - Maggie and Aztec have great links on their pages. Develop a plan. It will help folks to relate to you if you fill out the about me section of your page. I responded to you because our circumstances sounded similar and others will too. Thomas is a long time member who has all sorts of info on COPD so seek him out. Use that co-worker's comment as incentive to be sure your job is never available to her.
We are all so glad you are here!! Like Yaya mentioned If you want to quit smoking successfully you need to educate yourself and learn about your nicotene addicition. It made all the difference in my quit and will yours as well.
Welcome Wobble! You might find some wonderful inspiration from our dear jojo. She posted a blog today , please read it. You may find just what you're looking for. Get educated, commit to us and yourself and read, read, read and blog. This is doable, we have success here and you can too!
I have just read Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking. Unbelievable. I know I can do it because I am an ex smoker. I am rejoicing. Watch for my posts on Monday.
Hi!! Welcome! This place is awesome! It will be of great help! You can do this, if all of us can. I strongly recommend the Allen Carr book listed above, best book I ever read. Stay close, we're here for you!
Welcome! This is a great place to get support to make this your lifetime quit. Please do the reading! Understanding the addiction and withdrawal process will help. I too smoked for 35 years, "quitting" about six or seven times along the way. The difference this time is the support on this site and understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt that I am a nicotine addict. The key to success is Not One Puff Ever (NOPE) Simple but not always easy. You too can be glad to be an ex smoker! Congratulations on three days! The worst of the withdrawal should be over now!
