1 week and 2 days

Today is day 9- and I am a non smoker!   The funny thing is my brain has 2 parts the good part and the bad part. The good part says I quit smoking- I do not want to smoke again. The bad part says I want a cigarette.   Smoking was always a part of me. I never went anywhere without it. I smoked in the house which was not so good for my honey but I did it anyway because I was selfish and did not want to suffer and be without my cigarette.   So for me smoking was normal I have never been

Day 7 or Night 7

Day 7 is over and it is almost time for me to go to bed. It is only 9:20 PM since I no longer smoke I have been in bed by 10 pm every night. Normally it would be between 11 and 12 as I was quite happy watching a movie as long as I had my cigarettes to smoke. Pretty Strange. No issues for me today but I think I lot my quit buddy, It was cool to have someone to quit with on the same day and go through all of the stages of the quit at the same time. I can only hope he is doing well.   Tomorro

Just one of those days...

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel that your world is caving in? Today is one of those days for me. Overly dramatic? Probably. I tend to negate my feelings to pass them off as dumb, childish, not worth having. I internalize every. damned. thing. I guess that is why when something that is seemingly so small and unimportant happens I go off the deep end. I am so used to people disappointing me that I don't let people get too close. That limits the amount of hurt that can be inflict

Day 6

I am wondering if I still need to count the days- I have to say I am doing this well. I am wondering if I should post my SOS for myself. At this point I am thinking there will be no SOS but one day there might be..   If I were going to smoke it would have been yesterday. Planning dinner with neighbor coming over and planned on pork loin on the smoker outside. I had to go to the store for the pork loin so I pick the closest store (Stop N Shop) they have only very small pork loins. I discove

My First Cigarette

I still remember my first cigarette.   I was probably about 12 years old. Every summer I used to visit and stay with my Gran & Granddad in their beautiful cottage in the New Forrest. I used to love these weeks; we had horses, rabbits, chickens, ducks, sheep, cows, a donkey… it was so much fun for someone my age. I used to build treehouses and play out in the barns and fields, just doing what a 12 year old boy does best. It was all very innocent. Then I met up with a guy called Barry. He w

5th day already? I missed day 4

Amazing weekend- no issues. Maybe 4 pieces of Nicorette for each day not bad. I can't believe it is Sunday night already and I haven't smoked in 5 days. There is the occasional thought but it disappears as quick as it comes.   I am happy. Very short 5th day entry sorry I still have to put dinner away and clean up before bed.

My Journey

I've used every excuse I can think of to not quit.   "It's not the right time... I am so stressed! You have no idea."   "I like smoking. Why would I give that up? I'm never going to quit!"   "When I'm stressed, I NEED a cigarette. It really does help calm my nerves."   I'm glad I smartened the heck up after only smoking for about 5 or 6 years; I am so glad I quit while I was young.   Funnily enough, I was very much against smoking growing up. Both of my parents smoked (heavily) and I

IamDoingIt: I am quitting smoking!

About me and my start

I am a 50 year old man. I started smoking somewhere around 13 or 14 and was a regular smoker by the age of 16. The only time I quit smoking was when I was 18 and in the USMC bootcamp. That was in 1982.   On Jan 2, 2012, I gave my first thoughts to quitting smoking. I googled quitting, and soon found my way over to whyquit.com. I read, I Read, I READ, and then I R E A D some more. At first, I hated that site. I hated what it was telling me about what I was doing, why I was doing it, and

3rd Day

Good Morning Everyone   Day 3 has arrived and I still feel on top of the world. I have a feeling of Euphoria. I have tried to quit before many times and it was never like this. For the first time my eyes are wide open and I am doing this no matter what.   I am at work again and just ordered breakfast to get delivered (pork roll egg and cheese) not the healthiest but I am hungry oh orange juice to go with that. I already had two glasses of water and I am going for a third.   There are

easy peasy?

160 days. 5 months...1 week...2 days. Did I ever smoked...? Was all of that just a dream...? When I stop and think about when I smoked it feels like some distant memory... as if maybe it happened or maybe it was a dream... I dont know. That's what it feels like now. The other day I was watching someone smoke very closely. I was intrigued. Not because I wanted one but because I was seriously interested in what was happening before me. I started thinking to myself and imagining smoking... do I rem

2nd day

I am so happy today I feel on top of the world. I am wondering how many weeks until my cough goes away and I get some energy back. Time will tell. Last night was different- I did not sit on the couch and watch the news or a movie and smoke 10 cigarettes. Two pieces of gum last night 1 around 6 pm and 1 around 9pm so yesterday I had a total of 4 pieces of Nicorette. So I am not nicotine free but I am not filling my lungs with poison. I went to be really early 9:30 which is okay. I feel reste

October until now

I have a video of my mom that I watch over and over again. It's only about 56 seconds long or so, but means the world to me. I always fear I'm going to forget her -- her voice, smile, laugh. I don't want to forget her. Even though she's not here with me physically, I use the memories I have of her to help me through. I want to believe she's still here with me, watching over me.   These last 6 months have been difficult. I lost my mom in October 2013 from a heart attack. She was 59 and had bee

NOPE; Evelyn's Blog

Friends, just random people you meet who can make a difference

This might be 'just an online forum', but today many have shown me they are more then online friends. Behind a screen yes, but without judgmental views or misunderstanding. They might not grasp all of me, but they accept me.   This is one of the rarest forums where I've encounters such a thing.   People judge you, how you dress, if you're fat or to thin, if you're on drugs.   Instead of an 'get over it' respond, I received so many supportive replies when hit rock bottom today. Peptalk yes,

Mar-15-2014     I went to the mall and spent maybe too much money. I was thinking maybe I should put some stuff back. Then I opened my quit smoking app and saw that I've saved 670 dollars in the past 4.5 months. The voice in my head then said "nah girl, you're cool. You do your thing." ...and then I picked up a 20 dollar tube of mascara. Why? Because I deserved it, that's why.

Mar-12-2014   Hello all! It's been a while. I feel bad for not being on here more frequently seeing as how I've turned to this place a couple times for support and then got busy or preoccupied and disappeared. I am still grateful for finding this place. I used this place a lot in the very beginning because it was really nice seeing and reading about people going through the same experience. Then I realized that quitting was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. And the more

Dec-19-2013     Sh** really strong trigger. So I know in one of my original posts I said I took a huge paycut to get into a department of my company that I wanted a certain position in and that I really couldn't afford it. Well finally a position I really want and really need came open and I have an interview tomorrow at 1pm. I found out yesterday morning. Was fine trigger wise all yesterday, I'm assuming because I was excited. But then I couldn't sleep last night. I'm running on a few hours

Nov-28-2013   Tomorrow will be 4 weeks for me. I can't believe it. I've never wanted to quit before. I played with it a few years ago for 24 hours to see what would happen with nicorette but it just didn't seem worth it and I did not want to quit. Like anyone else I never wanted to become a smoker...never sat down and decided I was going to become a pack or so a day smoker. One day I just woke up and realized I was and sighed a little and just accepted it. Any time Id even fathom the ide

Nov-26-2013   I never believed anyone that after you quit you have dreams about smoking. However, last night I had the strangest dreams. there were two murders I was witness too and the last one was right before I woke up and was extremely brutal what was happening. Normally this stuff will wake me up, so weird. but in the middle of the two I had a dream I was at work, I believe, and i was trying to get someone to give me a cigarette...someone I didnt know, because I was quit in my dream an

Nov-24-2013     So I feel good. I made it into week three and it's been easier than I imagined, as I have said. I still am waiting for my car so I can't drive to my trail I have to run the loop around my complex, but for some reason my ankles prefer my trail to the concrete sidewalk I suppose. Either way I got a little run in. I hate winter and really need to invest in some winter running clothing.   Today I found myself bored. Not really wanting a cigarette but thinking how it would help
