Hi Everyone!

My name is Samantha and I am addicted to cigarettes : ( but I am insistent on breaking the habit and kicking its butt!! I have set a quit date of Jan 16th as of yesterday. I have only smoked 4 cigarettes so far today so I'm on my way! I have spent today figuring out my triggers. I am finding out, in just one day, that alot of my problem is just habit not necessarily intolerable urges. Don't get me wrong, the urges are very demanding at times!!! Anyways, I CAN do this and I AM going to do this! Just need a little support and a place to run when I think I can't go another minute...

Hello Samantha, welcome and yea we are all addicts to nicotine, it aint a habit it is a flat out addiction that keeps us feeding poison into our body. It sounds like you are cutting back and that is good as well as figuring triggers, etc...
Yes you can quit, anyone can.
Education+determination = success,
try looking at whyquit.com for education, well organizes, easy to use, determination and attitude come from within, and success is measured one day at a time.
best to ya, RJ Free at Last 478 days after 32+yrs.

Looks like you and I have had this monkey on our backs for about the same amount of years. Talk about receptors! How many time have you tried to quit. I was one of those 60's kids that thought I was infallable and never tried until the damaGE was done. Now we all find ourselves in need of that support group again/

It's nice to hear people say GO! instead of Oh come on why haven't you quit yet!
