Good morning to the Smoking Section:

How did your resolutions go for those of you starting your quest to quit smoking on Thanksgiving? Were you able to resist it? If not, today is another day.

I didn't take a puff. I resisted all day and made it through.I must be ready, because I didn't touch it today either. I hope everyone else had some success in cutting back or quitting.

I am glad I have a place to talk about smoking.It has helped me tremendously. Thanks everyone.I need your support and I have a feeling your prayers are what's helping me the most. Please continue them for a little while longer.

I am a 30 + year smoker of a pack a day. Special occassions or high stress times I smoke more. If I occassionally took a drink (beer, wine) I could smoke a pack an evening.

Norma and TVC, I hope you'll get to join me soon when your time is right.I am smoke free...one day at a time.

Chickadee, I smiled reading your post! I am so happy you haven't touched any cigarettes.

You know you can do it!

EXCELLENT CHICK A DEE !!!!!!!!! That is super !!
hey, i found a site on web you might want to look up, it's ..... click2quit......... so much support there as well....... your clean Chick..
clean....clean ... clean..... you can stand in any line up now...... (and that is my goal) ..... good on you chick.....!!

Found a place here in Vegas where you go in one time and they use lazer therapy somewhere on the hand a pressure point I think and thats it, thats all you never have even the urge to smoke again. I bet if they have that here they have it elsewhere too. Hooray for Chickadee, yo are on your way lady....so proud of you.

Thank you all. Norma, I can't wait until you and TVC join me. Soon I hope.

Day 2 - no real cravings and no cigarettes. Someone mentioned that the cravings are there if you are not ready to give up. Well, these are the words that changed everything for me. I believed it and haven't had any unbearable craving. I basically feel like someting is 'missing' so I immediately do something/anything to overcome that feeling.
I mentioned that I don't want to gain weight. Well, quitting on Turkey Day didn't help there, but I think I will do it. I like healthy foods and I will use grapes when I want food over and above Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
I am still looking into a place to quit like Chatty mentioned. Not for me but for me to own.
Day three is not far away...yoo hoo!
chick

Way to go Chick!!!!!!
I unfortunately am not there yet.

When you're ready TVC and not before. Don't give up on trying for a day...one day, any day, some day soon. You are 'talking' about quitting and that's as close as it gets to making that first step. Many just say I'm never quitting, so your a step ahead of them. Norma, How are you doing?
chick

Chick,
