I am ready to quit again

[gogoriviera2]

I have not been on for a long while- I am really ready to stop smoking.  I had about 4 months when I was on last and a tree had just fallen on my car and killed it-started back up.  Both parents passed away within a year of each other and finances have been brutal.-so on and so forth.  It has been a rough year but I am ready to put the past in the past and start on a new quit.

It is just getting started- I am reaching out to the becomeanex community for help once again-I really want to leave the cancer sticks in the dust.  When should I quit- I welcome suggestions.  Seems like whenever I stop it is like swimming in the deep end of the pool with nothing to hold on to- This is the part that is scary for me.

Thanks

Your words:  Seems like whenever I stop it is like swimming in the deep end of the pool with nothing to hold on to- This is the part that is scary for me.

Don't look at it like that. Get different attitude. Remember win your at the end of the pool it's your life that you are holding on to.  Nothing to be scared of just bright future. Don't think of it as losing something but gaining freedom. When should you quit??? Read Allen Carr again. Start Ex program from the beginning. Start over with Attitude, Ability, and motivation. I do wish you the best.

Welcome Back.  Just keep in mind that life always happens whether you smoke or not.  Smoking will not stop life coming at you, but it will stop life.

The site will not let you use a email that already has been used.

I'ts o.k. A lot of people just ignore the re-re-re stuff, and get on with it here on the community, cause the ex site just isn't that user friendly on changing info.

Hi There,  Glad you are back!!!!!   Day 64 here of my forever quit.  Like you, I tried to quit two times before this one.  I read your blogs back to January.  You know what to do.  Reread your Allen Carr book and check out the whyquitvideos.  Re-Read your blogs, it will help you.  I would be on day 800 if I hadn't blown my quit back in 2009.  But I did and smoked until August this year when I decided no more.  I kept my same account, you should to, keep your history.

I think the only thing I would suggest you do different this time, is do what I have done.  I have told myself and I am determined that there is no way, no how for no reason will I stick another cigarette in my mouth.  It is not an option and will not happen.  I think if you can tell yourself that, then you can do this knowing that cravings have no meaning and when they have no meaning they just disappear.  I haven't had one since my first week.  I was a 1 to 2 pack a day smoker for 27 years.  I loved my cigarettes but had to quit because they were making me feel like crap.  

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever, It is the key to successfully having your freedom.

Exactly what Lonita and Sheri said...the more you embrace your quit and understand you are gaining freedom the better it will go. If you actually think cigarettes have anything to offer you, that's sad...but you know that and forgot it....RE-READ everything and set your quit date....scan thru quitsmokingonline.com and you'll remember very quickly.....welcome back, Nancy

It is good to be back

Welcome back Gogo. I'm not gonna spout a bunch crap but you know there's no time like the present. Life will forever throw obstacles in our way to delay our quits. Anyway...I'm in Lawrenceville...message me through my profile & i'll give ya my number. Give me a call if you like & we'll get you through this. But you know the way...one second...one minute...one hour or one day at a a time...ever how you have to break it down to get through it.

Regards,
Mike n @lanta

Don't let the fear of quitting discourage you. You did it once, you can do it again. Knowledge is power and experience is the best knowledge. This time you know how it feels to have to start over.  Use that memory to keep you from doing it again. Blog about how you feel about starting over so that you can go back and read those feelings if you get tempted to blow your quit again. Good luck gogo! You can do this!                                                   Jessica

Don't think of it as scary, think of it as new and exciting.   Exhilarating .  If you really decide you want it, it will not seem as bad as constantly thinking about it,  come George, you can do this
