Thank you guys.I didn't smoke and the craving passed like you all said it would. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever quit but I am starting to see a life without cigarettes! Not the whole life but a glimpse of me not wanting these icky things. That makes me very happy! Still feel like a junkie though? but I look forward to the day I don't.

I want a smoke free life because I am sick of feeling like a junkie. From spending too much money,secret behavior,and worrying about my health. Lol no I wish I could do a primal scream but I am in an apartment.I laugh because the idea of my neighbors responding to a primal scream makes me laugh. At least my craving is starting to go away.

I am on my first day because I messed up yesterday.I have been taking it one minute at a time but man I am starting to plot on how to have a cig. I don't have access to money right now so that is good but I just need help riding this out.

Thank you guys. I messed up yesterday and smoked but I am back on board today. I am going to continue going through Joel''s library and stick close to the boards today. I got into an arguement with my ex husband yesterday and it dissolved into me smoking. I know that I can't do that. I'm embarassed about my slip but man this junkie brain is really strong! I should never underestimate it.

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I am so happy to have your support through this process. I havve been going through Joel's first day quitting videos and I'm finding that helpful too. I am going to rely on everyones wisdom to get me through the more trying times. I'm so glad to be here and committed.

No puffs for me!

Hello everyone! This is like the 20th time I've quit smoking and I feel a bit doubtful about this whole process. I quit because I hate the money I'm spending monthly on cigarettes and I keep getting reoccuring ear infections. I really hate ear infections. They hurt so badly and I only get them when I've been chain smoking. I also have asthma and smoking just seems stupid. I was in and out the hospital as a child for my asthma and gasping to breath is a horrible way to go. I realize now that my mom smoked heavily the entire time I was growing up and I think that really affected my asthma. I started smoking when I was 15 and smoked for 20 years. So my lungs have a lot of healing to do. I'm looking forward to being free of cigarettes. The cravings right now are manageable. I really think the patch made things worse. Anyway just for today I am going to be smoke free.
