Great choice Nana20! You will never regret setting out on the road to quitting, that I promise you. Yes, it's not easy. You will experience so many temptations and emotions it's hard to keep them all under control but if your commitment is steadfast, you WILL be successful. I don't even know how I made it through some days but you know what? I DID! You can too if you remain true to your vision and commitment. Sounds like you have been through a lot in life so far and quitting is no different. We all have to face the demons of our addiction when we chose to embark on this quit journey. You are NO different from us. It CAN be done! Let me ask you this, based on what you have already experienced in life .... What are the things you cherish most in your life? Did you have to endure hardships to have and protect those things? Of course you did! This is no different. Nothing worth having in life comes easy. Jump on the train and let all these other quitters help you along. We've all been there. We get it!

7 The tide does tend to turn every once in awhile with this game

Keep that wonderful list of reasons for quitting close at had so you can read them over and over as the cravings try to convince you to give up on quitting. Those reasons are powerful and they will not change - ever! Maybe even post them up in the "Prerespond To Your Own SOS" thread which is located on the SOS page. That way it's there for you to reread whenever you like.

You sure your quit isn't 2 years now? Seems like that kind of maturity to me Happy

7 It's a fun kind of torture tho!

I trust you are learning more about your addiction to nicotine here Jeff. That might just be the key to a life long quit for you, which is the goal we all seek. Do what you can to avoid those smoking diseases you mentioned by cutting the ties to smoking now .... for good! We can't erase our smoking years but we CAN shape our future by standing up against our addiction no matter how long that might take!

Welcome back HD! The light is always on here on the train to welcome not only new members but others who have lost their way and wish to get clean for good! Jillar has made some good points for you to consider. Others will agree I think that those who stay in touch and involved here on a regular basis ongoing generally do very well with their quits because that association with others who have been able to secure a solid quit rubs off on newer quitters. Also, as you begin to discuss your quit with others it will help solidify your own quit without you even noticing that it's happening. Sure, there's a lot of non-quit banter here but that too can be important to you. You always know there's a place to go and be with others that have walked the same path as you. In terms of your start date, make it soon. Pushing it out too long will allow time to make excuses not to try again. Once you make that date, stick with it! Reset your quit date info. and begin watching all the numbers add up in your favour again. You'll never regret quitting so don't give up on yourself - we won't!
