I know I can do it this time.

[pamiam]

After years of being afraid to quit, I know I can do it this time. I quit for a week in December, till I found 1 lying around.What I did notice during my quit is its mostly in the mind. How do you spell psycological - is there no spell check here? Anyway, it wasnt so bad - however, once I started then I rushed and got a pack and quickly the old habit was back.

So why do I want to quit ?

1. To live a healthy life.

2. Tired of stinking .

3. Tired of being a closet smoker.

4. Even my doctor does not know.

5. Want to lead a Ideal life , so far its been only in my head.

6. Disgusted with myself.

Reasons I smoke - Stress,and Boredom .

Welcome to the site! Congrats on deciding to quit! This place can really help. Read, read, read - that's what helped me to prepare. I read lots of blogs here, read at one of the sites Jonescarp mentioned (http://quitsmokingonline.com) and Allen Carr's book - free download at: http://digg.com/news/lifestyle/Allen_Carr_s_Easy_Way_To_Stop_Smoking_Download_free_PDF

Stick around!

(PS - If you right click and then hit paste - a box will pop up - you can type in that and spelling errors will show up! Then hit okay to paste that back into this box! A lot of trouble.....I use it sometimes just to check a word! But, I'm kind of crazy about stuff like that!!)

When you're a smoker. you smell like a smoker. Trust me, people know you smoke and it's time to quit. Go to quitsmokingonline.com. They explain why we smoke and give you some very good information.  Get a plan and set a date. If you truly want to quit, you can. Remember, a half-assed attempt will fail.

Choose life.

As I said in some of my blogs...the mind set when you quit is very important...one has to be 100% committed, 99% just isn't enough.  The suggestions offered above helped me and I would recommend that you improve your chances for success by reading and absorbing the information.  You CAN if you truly WANT to do this.  Good luck.
