Susana I'm grumpy because I've quit smoking.... WRONG!!!! You are grumpy because it is the end of the month and you have no money left, or because you have been eating too much crap and you know it, or because that girl you like looks down at you... get real! - I can't sleep because I've quit smoking... WRONG!!!! You can't sleep because you are overworked and worried about 10.000 things at once. Quitting is just one of them. Tackle the other 9.999 first and then we'll see... - I've put weight. That's because I've quit smoking.... WRONG!!!! You've put weight because you are eating lots of comfort food and sitting around doing nothing. Keep your quit, and keep moving! - I can't stand people because I've quit smoking... WRONG!!!! People are awful. Horrid. You notice more when you quit because you are a notch cleverer than them. Don't step down that notch! If you do they will still be unbearable and awful and horrid... and so will you. - I can't quit. I'm too weak... WRONG!!!! You don't have to be strong to quit smoking. You don't need will power. You don't need magic. You just need to want to quit. If you want to, you will. If you don't want to... wait until you want too. It is only YOU here. Please feel free to add... I'm sure I'll come back with a few more entries. It's the weekend and I'll have a smoking friend staying with me. I'm sure I'll come back with a few more entries...

In my 52 year smoking addiction, I tried to quit hundreds of times Some lasting hours , some last a week , even got a couple of months going . it always ended in failure After being quit for over 12 years , I know where I went wrong . I didn’t have the tools, the knowledge . i didn’t have a family of Quitters helping me along . Life is wonderful without that horrendous addiction which had me on the verge of amputation. Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them until it does

Babs609 I always found it was similar to waiting for water to boil...seems like it takes forever. The quit is a roller coaster ride. Good days, bad days, a great morning followed by a crappy evening and vice versa. I think knowing this ahead of time sets your mind at ease because you understand its part of the process and won't last forever. Also helps to know you are not alone...and that it really does get better. But it's gradual. You will be going about your day then suddenly realize "wow! I haven't even thought about smoking in hours or days or months". It's an awesome moment.
