Newbie Quitters

[John-C.]

You can use this wall to introduce yourself and tell your story! Remember, this group is only for those who have stopped smoking completely (no matter for how long). We can use the advice of experienced EX's, too. I am on my 4th day (again), using this site much more and reading reading reading!

I keep coming back to this blog when I feel weak.  I'm finishing up day 8 smoke free.  When will these craving end?  I get strength from reading your blogs.  Thank you everyone.

Hi I'm going through the same thing. I got really sick right after Easter Sunday and missed a whole week of work but when I was sick didn't crave the cigarettes so I thought it was going to be easy to quit but all of sudden when I felt better the cravings are kicking in.  I admit I broke down having a cigarette here and there but NOWHERE near what I was doing.  In fact I didn't like the taste but I swear my body is feeling the withdrawals but my mouth doesn't like the taste.  I'm also coughing and breaking out on my face but I think that's the TOXINS coming out finally.  It's hard so I hope people are active on this post bec I really need the support too inorder to succeed.

I found that when I thought I craved I did break and lit up but the taste was horrible.  So I think what I'll do is slowly cut it...the cold cold turkey maybe too much for me for right now so cutting down then slowly just cut I am going to try that approach.

hello all.

I'm 73 years of age and have smoked since i was 15. I have quit now for 4 days and doing great. looking forward toward all your post as aids to quit and stay off.

I read on an other site a little mantra that I thought was real neat. It said (NOPE),

Not one puff ever.  and I am trying to live up to it.

Good luck to all, and breath deep.

Tomorrow is the day!  I can use all the support I can get.  This is going to be my last attempt because I believe I can make it this time.  I have been reading and reading and feel more prepared than ever.  Congratulations to those who have quit!  I will be following in your footsteps!

Hey guys! Tomorrow is the day I quit! ahhhhhhh I'm nervous!!! I don't want to say I'm quitting again and then not go through with it! My daughter who is 6 keeps telling me to stop because she doesn't want me to die!!! Ugh it broke my heart to hear her say that!!! So I decided I needed to do it for my babies!!! My son picked  up a cig and pretended to smoke it! I felt like a total failure!!! 😞 Anyone else have this experience?

Hey guys just started today and IT'S REALLY HARD! It's also nerve wracking when husband smokes and just won't JUST WON'T go outside.  I don't blame him either it's his house too so he has a say.

This is my 21st day of not smoking, I still have cravings but I get busy doing something and forget all about it.
