Hi, I'm Susie, And I've decided to QUIT SMOKING on 5/25/09 in rememberance of my MOTHER, FATHER, and BROTHER, all passed away with lung issues, I miss them so much. I've been on the EX site for about 1 year,procrastinating setting a quit date, so here goes. I have developed a chronic productive cough,(DISGUSTING) and I hate the smell of cigarette smoke on me. I want to be free from this addiction for once and for all. My family wants this for me, I want this for me, too. I have been an addict for 37 years, I AM READY TO BECOME AN EX

THANK YOU , ONE THING THAT SCARES ME IS THAT BITCHINESS YOU HEAR ABOUT. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT !! AND, LAST TIME I QUIT I GAINED WEIGHT REALLY FAST AND I WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY SKIN,YOU KNOW?? IF MY LOVED ONES CAN PUT UP WITH AN OVERWEIGHT BITCH, THEN IT'LL BE WORTH IT .THANKS FOR SHARING THAT WITH ME, ANGIE, AND CONGRATS ON ONE MONTH. WE REALLY CAN DO THIS

Welcome, Susie-Q. You'll find a lot of help and support here. And you haven't been procrastinating - just preparing. We all have to jump in when we're ready and not a minute sooner. I'm glad you're jumping in.

Welcome to you too, Donna! I think you just have to start and know that you will cope. You just have to take it minute by minute sometimes and other times it doesn't require that much work. You'll be fine. Lots of help and encouragement here to get you through.

and then my husband lord that was the toughy,No we sitt down [in the pass when i quit i sent him off to his cousins,really i did this]and i told him gently and calmly what i wanted ,needed,and felt,please be patient i will be bichy,sad,lonely,i will b going thru alot of diff feelings,so abre with me,he said ia m with u all the way,he quit like 28 yrs ago,where all they ahd was gum and candy thats it,
