Hi everyone. I am very excited to be a part of this site. As of right now, I have been smoke free for approximately 27 hours. Im so glad that I came across this site.....Wishing the best of luck to everyone!

I have quit two times in 27 years  of smoking.  the longest is 30 days. what I learned is any form of tabacco, can toss it out the window. I smoke cigs. quit for 30 days, did not even want one. But i liked the taste of a flavored cigar and figured its diffrent, boy I was wrong. I even starting feeling better in that 30 day span. went back to smoking full time.

Now on this 3rd quit time. I picked Mothers day, becasue I have 3 girls and stepson, they are gift from God. One of them is special needs, she will need me for  the rest of her life. I want give my kids a gift on mothers day, A smoke free mom, because thats what they ask for and deserve. But mainly for me, I know it sounds selfish. but got want do for self first.

Good luck to all of us.

Hi everyone. I've been a smoker for over 30 years. I tried to quit a couple of times, but it never lasted more than six months or so.  I'm really serious this time.  I can't afford the price of cigarettes and I'm tired of being worried about smelling bad.  It's nice to know, and really helpful to find others who are feeling and going through the same thing I am.

I want to run.  I want to play tennis again.  I want to spend my weekends hiking with my dogs.  But I smoke.  It makes me lazy, out of shape and I stink.

I need your help.

I am new to this page also.  I smoked for over 30+ years & finally decided to quit. I have been smoke free for 5 days.  This is quite an accomplishment for me, although I know I still have a very long road ahead. I'm done!

Hello everyone! I, too, am new to this site and am looking forward to a healthier and happier future. I know how difficult this is and I do have some anxiety. My quit date is June 10th, but I am ready to get in the habit of keeping up with this post and all the positive comments. It's nice to have the support....on to being a "quitter'!!!!

My name is rob and i am 53 years old and just had femeral artery by pass surgery in my left leg, a disease caused largly from smoking. This was a huge wake up call for me and also scared my children seeing thier dad lying on the couch with a incision from ankle to high up my thigh. I need to stop smoking and feel this is the best place to start. I would welcome and appreciate any and all suggestions.
