Congratulations to all you quitters!!

Yes you can quit. You have to be ready...maybe this will help.... you constantly have to think about quitting, about the stinking smell in your clothes and your hair, about the cost of the darn things, about what it is doing to your health and those around you, and hopefully you are not smoking inside as the smoke turns everything yellowish brown, and also that it is socially unacceptable these days.

Congratulations! September 19, 1995 here. Fifteen years, yahoo! I carry an extra 50 pounds around, but figure that is the lesser of two evils.

Hubby and I quit 30, years ago[ cold turkey] boy what a time.

Now I can't stand the smell of cigarettes, especially on little
babies. Hope the parents realize what they are doing to their kids. Didn't know at the time how badly cigarettes made a person smell, and oooooo the money you do save!!!!!!!

CONGRATS :-D :-D :-D :-D

I just quit on Aug. 31,2010. Most of it is keeping my hands busy & suckers. Already gained a little weight but that goes along with it I guess. It is hard but worth it!

I've smoked since I was 12 or 13 years old...and have quit more times than I can count.
I'll be giving it one more shot soon...my heart tells me that I need to...and I'm sure the cardiologist that I will see on Tuesday will confirm!
I have Chantix in the cupboard...now if I can just convince myself that I need to take it!

I used the Chantix, it was wonderful, I only had to take it for 1 month, I haven't even had the urge to pick up a smoke since, but occasionally I do wish I still smoked, but not gonna happen!!

Congrats! Thats absolutely fabulous. I quit myself about 25 years ago and to this day I hate the smell of smoke. I hate it on myself as well as my clothes or things I buy. Keep up the good work!

Have you ever thought of smoking as a form of suicide?

Charlee, please please do it. For so many reasons and I am sure you already know them all. Good Luck. I'm saying a prayer for you.

Annz 10-01-2010 09:30 PM

April 26, 2007. Best gift I ever gave myself. Cogratulations to all of you. I don't miss it either. My DH quit 2 days after me. Neither of us were ever sorry we quit, can't figure out why we started. It is such a dirty unhealthy habit. Now, if someone has smoked, I can smell it and it goes right up my nose.

mayday 10-05-2010 08:17 AM

good for you ,I finished 2002 and husband Jan 2007 having smoked since he was 13!!
the money I spent I save for other things .
