Well I wasnt planning on quitting but hubby asked me on Friday if I would like to quit with him. ( well I did laugh cuz we have been threw this one before and he started back up and of course not long after i did too.) and I asked him if he was serious this time and he told me that he wasnt going to buy any more cigs, so i said ok lets give it a shot so i am on my final pack now and am going to try this again cold turkey! so I hopefully I can get threw this!

WELCOME HON!!! You know that saying when the rough gets going...the TOUGH get going (or something to that effect..lol)

We are so very glad for you to join in!!! Did you want a support buddy? And I will look for you at habitrol

I got sunflower seeds! It is really helping. It satisfies the hand-to-mouth addiction, and how many calories can you possible get out of a seed? LOL I havent made it all the way thru the Habitrol site yet, so I dont have stats. Well, I'm off to the shrink! Have to have my pre-surgery evaluation, which was supposed to be yesterday. Long story LOL GL everyone.

How are all my wonderful fine EX smoking friends doing today? Still working hard I can feel it! I know some of you have a quit date of June 1rst but thats ok, I know its not time yet for you...BUT it is time for you to work on the "mind set" to get yourself ready, prepared...because as you may or may not know, the smoking addiction is just as much psycological as well as physical. Its VERY important that you understand this. It will make you understand YOUR journey better and perhaps make it a tad easier. Speaking of easier, it may be easier on some here to quit more than others, but here again, thats ok! REALLY....it is..because guess what? It's what WE are here for!!

Today's Strategy and Tips

How many times have you said I'll TRY to quit smoking, knowing full well that you don't really believe you can quit and don't really plan to quit? You must understand that quitting is not a game. Quitting is real life. If you are going to quit--QUIT! Don't just try. QUIT! If you stumble and start smoking again after quitting then quit again until you quit forever. Quit, or quit not. There is not try.

Clear out old tobacco, cigarettes, pipes, ashtrays and lighters. (If you have any really treasured items you don’t wish to throw out, put them in the attic or garden shed for now)make planters out of them for goodness sakes!

Funny for the day!

I am just checking in for the day. i just joined the habitrol site and my nickname htere is esoteric . I decided that my goal for today will be to smoke every 2 hours instead of the every 35-45 minutes I usually do. This is a huge step for me. The strategy and tips for today are great. So is the idea about sunflower seeds. I can reach for them instead of a cigarette while online. Thanks and I will check in again soon and let everyone know how it is going.

Today's Strategy and Tips

* Think positively, you can do it, tell yourself “I choose not to smoke – I am in control”

* Practice saying “no thanks I don’t smoke” or “no thanks I’ll have one later”

* Start a savings jar and put away the money you would have spent on cigarettes, and plan a treat for yourself.
