I'm 36 and I've been smoking since I was 19. I've cut it back to 1 1/2 packs per week in the last year and as much as I do still enjoy it, I think I'm ready to let it go.
With exception to my appreciation of good whiskey, it's the last remnant of the foolishness of my youth.
I don't know if I can do it. I'm going to miss my 20 little replaceable friends.
Any of you smoke/quit cigarettes? (No judgement of course.)
Wish me luck. Seriously. Wish me luck, I really like smoking .......... but I don't think it's worth sucking air out of an oxygen tank when I'm 50.
I won't wish you luck,as I don't believe in luck.
I DO send you my very best wishes and moral support,with the admintion to keep trying.
Becoming a non smoker is probably the best thing you will ever do for yourself. It will literally add years to your life, and save you a fortune.
I gave up a 70 a day addiction on 14 January 2003.Cold turkey,after having tried patches inhalers pills,hypnotism----it was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I did it.
HOW? This worked for me; I decided I WANTED to be a nonsmoker ,and made a committed decision to do just that.I used the AA approach; one-day-at-a-time. (not their simple minded philosophy)
Seek and accept any help you can find. The cravings WILL pass.
