YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!! I stopped 25 1/2 yrs ago and that was the best thing I ever did.
Your plan to keep your hands busy is perfect and just look around for some good fabric sales. They are out there. Good luck, you can do it. |
good luck to you, the first step is making up your mind that this is what you want-going on 14 years now for me best decision I could have made
|
Good luck to you! I agree stitch-n-frame is having a good sale. Check thousandsofbolts.com as well as this one that is unfortunately going out of business: bestfriendsquilts.com.

Good luck to you. Quit cold turkey thats what chain smoker DH and I did 5 years ago and never missed it. Feel so much better. But your the one that has to make up your mind to do it. Not easy, but great results. You can do it. Be busy, chew gum or bite on a pencil or chew on a tooth pick.

One of the crazy things I did when I quit was to take an imaginary smoke break. Lean back, bring your hand to your mouth, take two or three deep breaths...the craving would go away and got less and less as time went by.

I went cold turkey Oct 2003...I do NOT miss it..it was time... as for great fabric..check out the Dec blowout sale at www.stitch-n-frame.net! I also went cold turkey in 1998 its mind over matter they say!!!!!! |
I sat down next to a guy at work the other day while out on a break and he was smoking one of those electronic cigarettes. He said that he was about 14 days into using it and it was working for him. Has anyone used one of those? He said it was about $30 but if it works, it would be worth it.

I bought one but it cost over $90. It works! You can get tobacco flavor with real tobacco or other flavors like pineapple. I bought the tobacco flavor and the pineapple. But it's not the same thing as a real cigarette. I guess it's the next best thing. I use it in airport terminals. It's a vapor cigarette. It looks like smoke is coming out, but it's steam.

Congrats to everyone on here who have quit.
JAK, congrats on your 7 weeks. Nell, I'm in Murfreesboro, too. Do you make it to the Goodwill on the first Saturday for thier 1/2 price everything sales? And do you know where the GW pound store is in Nashville? I've never been there, but heard that there is one. I'd like to go to it and find an abandoned wedding dress for the embellishments on it. nhweaver, just call your local Goodwill and they should be able to tell you where their closest one is. I know I said it already, but I can' offer enough thanks to everyone for your encouragement and good wishes. Carol B |
You can do it, 23 years ago I did and 21 years ago my dh did. He chewed gum all the time and I crocheted until I wore my fingers out but we did it!
