I want to let you all in on a big step in my life and maybe get some support too.

Since you all were so supportive during the wedding planning...

I am now smoke free for 2 days!

Congrats! Take it day by day, every day is a big step... You will love yourself for it down the road.... I'm 2 yrs 5 months smoke free now, and FH is about a 1 1/2 yrs smoke free.... I know how hard it is now, but down the road you'll be thankful of the decision. Keep up the good work.

Thank you all!
You all are the best!

The real problem is drinking. I like to drink on Saturdays with my friends and I jsut cannot see myself drinking and not smoking. For those of you who quit, was that part really hard?

YAYA Diane..that is awesome..its a hard hard road..i quit the first time for 3 years and the second and third time for 6 months each..the times I went back to smoking was because I thought i could have just one with a drink and that didnt work..that is the hardest part for me...but i drink a lot of water and eat tootsie pops and it helps..also nicorette gum is the bestest

You can do it! I was a pack a day smoker and I am smoke free for 4 years now! If I can do it anyone can. Stick with it! Just think of all the money you are saving!

Are you using the patch? Thats what I did. It helped alot. I also chewed ALOT of gum.

Yes. I actually stopped drinking and going out to bars for a while. More $$ saved!
Even now, if I drink enough I crave a cigarette.

I smoked about 1/2 a pack a day for 12 years. I was smoking Marlboro Ultra Lights for about a year thinking it was better for me Then I smoked a pack of Quest cigs, level 2 with like .03 grams (or however its measured) of nicotine. DH had a pack of the level 3 ones with no nicotine and he slipped some into my pack without me knowing and I smoked them and didnt know the difference so thats what made me go cold turkey.

how about taking a fake cigarette (they sell bubble gum shaped ones) if you get the urge - pull it out and then lol since it is a piece of gum. Put it away and concure your next craving.

FH and I are on 4 months now! Get the inhaler if it really bothers you to be out. Worked for us... Good luck and good times. Just keep saying if I haven't for ___ long then why go back now?
