New Kid on the Block

[chargergirl24]

Hi All -

I'm super new to this site...as in I joined roughly 5 minutes ago. I'm wondering if people here are still smoking and trying to quit or has everyone already stopped and are here for support? And am I the only mom here who gets the guilt trip and/or lectures from their kids? Admittedly - they must work somewhat as my kids are a major motivator for wanting to quit.

Good luck to everyone regardless of what phase you are in! : -)

Some still smoke. I did up til May 22nd. My kids are what helped me to stop smoking. No you are not the only mom to get that. My girls did it to me. read my about me on my page and you will see what my youngest did to make me quit.

Hi,
My quit day is tomorrow, I'm already sad thinking about it. I've done it before and I go in and out of sad moods...I need to do it one day/hour at a time...stay positive and keep busy. It's supposed to be hot as blazes here in New England this weekend...who wants to smoke when you're hot and sweaty???? Right???? Wish me luck and cheer me on. Good luck to all of you!

Welcome!!! I'm in the quitting phase right now. I'm off cigs for 14 days now...and surprisingly I have done anyone damage!!

I quit on May Mother's Day this year (26 days today)-I quit years ago for almost 3 years "for my kids" but it didn't last. Both of my kids who HATED my smoking turned into smokers in their teen years (talk about a major guilt trip!)-this time I quit for me and feel I am now a non-smoker already. I hope to encourage my kiddos (22 & 20) now to follow suit and kick the habit.
I am doing it on my own without drugs/gum/patches and found the separation stages to be the most helpful-take the time to cut back from the habit before saying goodbye for good. Best of luck to all everyone!

My kids are kings of the guilt trips. They only do it to help you in their own way. I am still trying to quit. I did good for a couple of days and then bam it was back. I like this support group because it gives you many outlets for your addiction. Hang in there. I know you can do it.

i get the same from my kids. and i am also new to this site i joined like 5 mins ago too. i think that it is easier said than done so i hope there are people in here that can share a little advice for the both of us.
