April 23, 201412 yr I have tried many many times through out my smoking career to quit and have failed every single time except one!!!!! :) This one is different, One of the reasons why I think is " I was just tired of quitting!" :unsure: Tired of having to look those same people in the eyes every time and say, ya i started again. :( Tired of ignoring the side effects from smoking, the smell, the shortness of breath, ect! :wacko: Tired of of all the money and services i had to fork over on loosing bets! :angry: Tired of looking and feeling like a looser to my friends and family! :blink: Tired of trying to explain to others why i started smoking again! :o Tired of rationalizing to myself why i started smoking again! :huh: Just got tired of trying to quit smoking!(50+times) :( Now i'm not tired anymore! :)
April 23, 201412 yr Oh Rez......I hear ya!! It got so that I didnt even tell anyone if I was going to attempt a quit, because I was so ashamed at having to say I failed. Again.
April 23, 201412 yr Rez - you and Soozie need to talk! She was looking for a serial quitter. Im going to post in her thread pointing her at you!
April 23, 201412 yr You get a quit and it sticks, because all the previous times, maybe just maybe we didn't really want to quit.
April 23, 201412 yr you missed out: Tracey would also kick my butt from Ohio to the moon and would be tired of her nagging :)
April 23, 201412 yr Well, i must say, i am VERY glad you quit when you did and you're here with us now my friend!! :D :ph34r:
April 24, 201412 yr You get a quit and it sticks, because all the previous times, maybe just maybe we didn't really want to quit. In my case, it is a matter of daily maintenance. I wanted to quit twice before. I didn't remain a non smoker because my denial system is quite good! Without daily reminders, such as a list of reasons for quitting that I can take out of my billfold to remind myself and reading on this forum, then my little monkey whispers in my ear silly stuff--like how one won't hurt me, it will taste good, etc. while this is lessening for me day by day, I do not want to get complacent and forget I have an addiction. So here I am!
