Quitting smoking

[Aimee]

THANK YOU, Deb. That made me go and uploaded my quit meter but, I can't figure out how to get hubby on there. How do I add a second person? My quit meter says

I have quit smoking for 2days 1 hour and 42 minutes
I have saved $5.18
I have NOT smoked 41 cigarettes
I have added 3 hours and 25 minutes onto my life :D

Now, I am off to bed............

July 7th is the day

OK, I am ready now, but I am going to Colorado for July 4th, my sister has assured me that stopping prior to that trip would not be good as she has taken up the habit again:( and most everyone I will be around smokes.. So, That is it, actually I will have quit on the 6th, if I have any left I will either leave them for her, or float them... I WILL be seriously cutting downuntil then.. So I'll be back soon!!! For good this time!!

Deb, WOW is all I can say!! Is your hubby doing as well, I sure hope so!!

Aimee, hang in there...

Hey Jenn!
Sounds like a plan! Enjoy your holiday weekend and declare it your "Independence Day from Nicotine Dependence" What a good time to give it up! You will always certainly have a wonderful reason to celebrate July 4th! Good Luck...I think you will make it for sure this time. Now, as for hubby..well, he is sneaking one or two here and there and I guess he thinks I can't tell...but Girl...I can now smell them soooooo strongly on him, I can tell everytime. The smell is really strong but I never smelled it til I quit of course. BUT, he has a doctor's appointment this morning and she will lay down the law for him then I know she will...Oh I wish he could give them up all together, but I do not nag or say anything because I know that does not help and quite often has just the opposite effect, so I just stay quiet and hope and pray that he'll make it one day. Well gotta go...time for my smoke break... JUST KIDDING!!! Just couldn't resist a little non-smoker's humor!! Stay strong ladies! djk

As hard as it is to quit smoking, it's even harder when those around you are smoking. You are making it easier for your hubby to quit by quitting yourself. He will eventually be able to quit.

I'm proud of all of you *quitters*. Keep up the good work! Jenn, hang in there, you will do it!!

I feel awfully lonely here!

According to my Quitmeter:

I have NOT smoked for 2 months, 1 week, 4 days, 2 hours and 40 minutes.

I have NOT smoked 1,081 cigarettes

I have NOT spent $148.73 cents on cigarettes and

I have NOT cut 3 days 18 hours and 5 minutes off my life.

Why do I feel so all alone here???:( djk

Deb, you are my hero!!!

I have not quit quitting, I did stop July 5, but started again. I notice my tastebuds are GONE and I have a cough, I feel like I have a hangover EVERY morning.. I think I am going to try Zyban again as soon as my company gets our insurance switched and I can get a Rx. I desperatley want to say I am a non smoker:(

By the By, CONGRATULATIONS to you! What an accomplishment! you are doing great and I promise I will join you as soon as I can get up the mental fortitude to kick the nicodemon in the arse!! I have no good excuses left, but my brain comes up with one every now and then..

Keep on trying Jenn!! It will happen one day...I'll bet I have quit a hundred times before and always started back...and I can't brag a whole lot here...cause I quit one time for 7 months and started back...so I can't get complacent...got to stay on my toes and pray that I never pick them up again. Hang in there!! djk

Good for you, Debbie!! How is your hubby doing?

And Jenn, keep on quitting. It will eventually take hold!!

I've thought about all of you who are quitting many times. Stay strong--you can do it!
