Hang in there, Jenn; I have a family of smokers, and i got the same reaction - almost like I was "the enemy" LOL.  I'm on chantix again (took it some 5 yrs ago), and it's been 18 days with NO CIGS!!!!

I keep this in mind when I'm faltering:  this is a decision I made, for ME only, because I wanted to do this; nobody talked me into it, and no one will talk me out of it.  I "own" the fact that I have stopped smoking and i'm dang proud of that!  🙂

How is the quit going? Nevermind what other people think. This is about you, your body, your health, your happiness. Stay strong!

At the end of the day, you can focus on what's tearing you apart or what's holding you together! Be ...

To all: I am scared to quit also. Even though I had quit for 9 yrs about 25 yrs ago, so I should know that there is life beyond holding & puffing away. I found much joy and fun without a cig. I didn't even think of them anymore. So, that should be proof that life goes on (much better) and we will not identify with smoking at all. My quit date is 4-30-13, and, yes, I am still scared. Trying to brainwash myself & be happy, not sad. We are not giving something up, we are gaining a whole lot!!! My grown kids will be so proud.

Hi Csondra, welcome to the site!  It looks like you've already posted on the main Blogs page, that's great!  That's where most of the community hangs out and is where you will get the most support. These groups aren't monitored very frequently... 

Welcome aboard! We're here to support you!

Sorry I haven't been on much, just trying to stay busy, As long as I stay busy, the cravings don't bother me. I hope they stop before long.
