Day four and feeling good. I LOVE not trying to sneak away from the kids. I don't rush through the bedtime story anymore so I can get another smoke in. No more sneaking around the side of the house. Children learn by example. Why would I expect them to not become addicts when I am SO addicted?

I find it difficult to even think about quitting I would love to learn how and actually do it for my family and for me. I'm new to this and would love all the help in the world.

Stephanie, you can do it and yes it is a very difficult thing to think about since most of us have been smoking a very long time. I personally quit using the patch. I use prayer, meditation and COFFEE as an outlet and I remember that the craving will pass whether I smoke or not...For today, I choose not to smoke and have chosen not to for 5 months. The big thing for me is to not take that first puff because if I do it is all over. It is not easy but we are all proof that it can be done if you really want it.

Today is my quite date, finally!! I have been procrastinating for about a year now. My five year old daughter is excited and very proud of me and I know my one year old daughter is too. I have smoked since I was 14 yrs. I quit for two years when my first daughter was born but then started back after my father died. It has been 3 yrs since and I am tired of letting cigarettes control me!!

Hello fellow mothers! Here is my story... I have been a pack per day smoker for about 9 years. I quit once (with the help of Dum Dums) but it only lasted a few months. I am trying again with Chantix and suckers again. I'm having SUCH a hard time! I know it is because I don't have the desire to quit. I know I need to. I need to do it for my babies, finances, health.. etc. but I enjoy smoking! I love the relief of a cig when I'm upset! Any advice on how to do this?!?

My kids & hubby are so proud of me, it makes me feel so good when my 4 year old tells everyone she can that "my mommy doesn't smoke anymore"! I have been a non smoker for 27 days. 27 days down....a lifetime to go

Hello everyone, this is day 2 for me. Yesterday was pretty rought. I felt like I had to keep moving or I was going to lose my mind. I also had episodes where I was pretty grumpy to my husband and kids. I hope this passes because I don't like feeling irritable and I especially don't like taking it out on the people I love most. I hope today is a better day.

Hello! 2 days ago I decided to quit cold turkey. I was doing well but today I had a couple of cigarettes. Not bad considering I was smoking a pack and a half a day. The cravings just got the best of me! About an hour ago I put 2 cigarettes aside and threw the rest of the "emergency pack" down the toilet. I will have these last 2 tonight before I sleep and then tomorrow I will start fresh again. I just need to have more will power to overcome the cravings. Wish me luck!

It is harder than hell isn't it. I just smoked about an hour ago and am not doing well this weekend. Lots of emotions going on and geeze a cig sounds irrisistable! I don't want to lose the will to quit though. We gotta do this!!!!
