You can use this wall to introduce yourself and tell your story! Remember, this group is only for those who have stopped smoking completely (no matter for how long). We can use the advice of experienced EX's, too. I am on my 4th day (again), using this site much more and reading reading reading!

Alright I made it through one whole day! Trying to get through the tougest part of my day the morning! Baby steps.

[katheen]

Well I've made it through four days and so far I have'nt smoked had one on the first day and then have'nt had any since then. Plan on staying home and having a special day with a friend and neighbor today. Will not smoke is not an option for me today or any day as far as I'm concerned now.****

I'M STARTING TO GET SOME OF MY SENCES BACK AND DOES THAT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. I'M ABLE TO TASTE THE FOODS AND THE SENCE OF SMELE IS COMING BACK AND THAT IS A WONDERFUL FELLING TO BE EXPERIENCING SO SOON AFTER STOPPING MAYBE I'M JUST ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES.

I have been feeling so alone latley... My spouse doesn't smoke and my Father smokes like a chain! We are all living together right now and its so hard to get support from either one of them because one doesn't understand and the other one is a lifetime smoker who doesn't want to quit! So I have no one... I talked to a coach from the Quitline twice now but have been having some problems with procrastination and excuses! I really want to quit though. I currently smoke a pack a day of Menthol cigs and tryed to change to non-methol but they made me very nauseated so I went back to Menthol and picked up back where I left off! Im not qualified for any nicotine medicine and cannot afford it right now being that I currently am laid off from work for a month! I have to much time on my hands being stuck at home and am not sure what to do with it. We are planning on moving soon my spouse and I and once we move I won't be around any smokers yay! But that won't be until the end of this month. Im going to start smoking only outside and see if that helps because I live on the fourth floor in an apartment building. Im also going to start tracking my cigs again and start a stress journal so wish me luck! Also, if you have any other ideas or advice that you have used to help yourself quit please let me know! I need all the help I can get right now! Thank You! Add me as a friend!
