All Ex smokers...need your encouragement!!!

I quit smoking. Mind you, only 2 days ago....I need a freakin smoke. I am absolutely dying for one.
All ex smokers, please give me encouragement to not smoke!!! I feel like garbage right now believe it or not. I am so out of it.

Im not an ex smoker but here some encouragement........Go Donna Go!!! You Can Do it!!!!!!

DONT SMOKE!!! It is so gross when women smoke...sorry for all you smokers but nothing is more unattractive when a pretty woman brings a cig to her lips.... DONT SMOKE....you can do it!!!!


(sorry if I offended any lady smokers! )

I swear I'm actually lightheaded from NOT smoking....my coworkers said if I smoke now, I'll have given up my whopping 2 days of being smoke free and have to start all over again

I miss them. They were like my best friend

(The cigarettes that is-not my coworkers!)

CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER CANCER.

EMPHYSEMA. EMPHYSEMA. EMPHYSEMA.

I hope that helps. I'm not even kidding- my mom is really having a hard time due to years of smoking.

and I'm a total hypocrite, because I just had about 6 cigarettes in the car.

But I'm a freak, because I ONLY smoke in my car- seriously- I never crave one any other time.

So I convince myself I'm not a smoker, even though I'll go through a pack in three days, JUST in driving time. And it's one after the other.

My car smells like death and oranges (spray), and I'm sure my lungs don't look much better.

DON'T DO IT!!

I get light headed when I smoke! My mom stopped smoking a while ago and she says she misses it all the time.....I just dont get it!

You will make it through. First few days are always the toughest. Make sure you have some gum or hard candy to distract you when you feel like you need a cig. I quit about three years ago but i have to say if I was still smoking all the commercials now adays would make me want to quit.

Figure out how much you would spend on cigs in a month and put that aside. Either put it towards something for the wedding you want to splurge on or buy yourself a little reward.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! And just think how healthy you already are with just not smoking the last two days.

I'm not an ex smoker, or a smoker at all, so while I don't know what you're going through and never can, but....



Don't give in!!!! You want to make sure you're as healthy as possible for the future. I had bronchitis for about 3 months, then a slight relapse, and I wanted to keel over, so I could never imagine what it would be like to have a serious lung problem. Please, take care of yourself!!!

I'm actually depressed about it. I miss them!!!!

I understand, and i'm so sorry. I've seen a lot of people quit and try to quit, and it's a major bi+ch.

But you're gifting yourself years of life. Try to think of that if it helps.

I'm thinking the same thing right now about bread. I know it's not the same thing, but I'm chewing my way to an early grave, so on that level at least, I get it.

Good luck!!! KEEP POSTING IF IT KEEPS YOU FROM SMOKING!!

Do you still think about it? My friend says she does, but just the thought passes-not so much a craving for one.

Yeah I've had my ups and downs for the past two days. Maybe I should buy the gum. I DO feel as though my chest is clearing up though.

more inspiration...if for nothing else....you will look so much better 20 years from now!

Jen you're the best. My mother said the same thing-she quit 10 years ago

I honestly only think about it when i'm drinking. At first the minute I had a drink in my hand i was like give me a cig. But now it's very rare. I think i did have a drag this weekend but it was only one and I was immediately like 'why did I do this'

FH stills smokes but not in teh apartment. I won't let him smoke in my car so we always take his. I can't stand when he smokes near me.

It's definately hard and you may give in here and there but if you are truly ready to quit you won't go back to it. Once you don't smoke on an everyday basis it's hard to remember why you did it. At least it was for me.

I should look into some type of help. It really feels like a bad breakup haha Im so lame. But actually, since venting a little, the urge isnt so strong so thats a good thing!!!

Don't do it you have the will now here's the way

think of all the extra wrinkles it can give you!
Go find one of those anti-smoking campaign commercials and watch it over and over and over
Do some deep breathing
GO punch a pillow


those are some of the things i had to do

GL YOU CAN DO IT
