Sober
I just wanted to say that I've quit smoking. As a lot of you know, I have been smoking for a long time. I just started to stop smoking this past weekend and I haven't smoked for 2 days. I know it's not much, but as with everything, baby steps first before you can walk and then eventually run. So here's to a new lifestyle (without the vice) and hopefully I don't hit a wall that would make me get off the wagon.

good for you!! :) smoking is so unattractive.
I hope you keep it up! Don't let it beat you and control you. Smoking stinks.
i was just thinking... quitting smoking is the best thing you are doing for yourself. yet it won't be easy, at all. there's patterns of behavior connected to smoking, there are reasons you smoke. all these things you'll have to change. and that's the challenging part, changing patterns of behavior, changing the way you think. you know smoking, you know why you smoke. smoking is comforting because it's what you know to do to make it through the day. not smoking will be new to you, what do you do now in the place of something you've done and known almost all your life?
going cold turkey can work for some folks. others need more assistance kicking any habit. i commend you for doing this. it's not easy to make the change. i hear acupuncture helps, as does meditation, exercise, etc.
it's not a baby step what you just took. it's THE most important step. again, congratulations! you are in my thoughts.

ps - you probably wonder why it's such a big deal to me. my grandfather died of lung cancer, and my mom is a breast cancer survivor - the effect of living with smokers all her life.
here's to health and to life!

and if you fall off the wagon, just get back on.
:-)
Thanks everyone.
LG-thanks for the concern, in fact I know about your parents and it's things like that that made me quit. I'm determined to stay on the wagon, I might hit a few bumps along the way, but I know one thing is certain, I've bought the last pack of cigarettes last week and I will NEVER spend a single dime on it ever again. The only thing is I now find myself hungry all the time. But that's another battle at another time.
i'm always hungry all the time too. so you're not alone on that one :)
