Re: quitting smoking

I just celebrated my 3rd anniversary of being smoke-free. You can do it. The first 48 hours were the worst - after that it does get easier.

Hang in there! Good job!

The first 12 hours or so were the worst for me so far. I've found a lot of it has been more mental than physical. Buy some baby carrots and other healthy snacks to help you through.

You CAN do this - it's tough but you are strong enough to do it!!!!

Re: quitting smoking

I found the worst part was needed to do something with my hands. Lollipops and carrot sticks definitely helped. Also I would cut drinking straws to about the length of a cigarette and keep them in my hand or chew on them....sounds funny but it gave me something to hold. After about a week, I was able to give up constantly having something in my hands.

This is probably the toughest thing you'll ever do - but be strong, you can do it! I smoked for over 22 years and was able to do it so I know how tough it is.

Re: quitting smoking

I quit a year ago 9/18!! It was the best thing I ever did. The first three days weren't easy though. Hang in there and after 3 more days you will feel so much better!!!
