September 22!

I will officially be a quitter on Sept. 22, I would love to be someones stop smoking buddy!

I'm currently working on separating my smoking from my triggers. My triggers are common...a cigarette when I wake up, after I shower..in the car, after I eat..when I'm at the computer..watching T.V...mostly boredom.

So now I stop my activity and go outside to smoke and I don't smoke in the car. I'm waiting 30 min after I wake up and after I eat to smoke. I can smoke anytime I want at this point, I just have to do it outside.

I would love to find a quitting buddy who isn't using any patches, gum, or medication. Let me know!

Hello Lauren - I am going to try this on my own starting tomorrow. Nothing worked for me in the past so this is the only way. I have gotten to the point of no return now and God help me to do this by myself. I will keep you posted on how it works out and best of luck to you.

Lauren and Kris
I want to quit by Sept. 19 which is my birthday. I will not use patch or medication. Typically I do not smoke more than 5-6 cigs per day. I won't smoke in the car or on my property. I want to be free of the bondage of this. It is ridiculous.
I also do not want to gain a bunch of weight if you have any ideas. I've read the ones on here, like drinking tons of water and exercise.
Thanks

Hi Lauren,
I'm also going to be trying to quit without any medications... I've tried the gum and the lozenges before and I didn't find them to be very helpful to me. My quit date is September 6th and I also have been working on my triggers.
Kudos to you on not smoking in the car anymore! That's been the hardest one for me to conquer... I do soooo much driving.
I think if you keep on the path you're on you're going to be fine. I mentioned in an early post that I liked the small battles thing before actually quitting. I like the challenges and feel like I'm actually making progress while still smoking. It's kind of a self-esteem booster!
Keep up the good work and let me know how you're doing!
