((( The Stop Smoking Cigarettes Thread)))

Drowned Out

I was one of the quitters in the header of this thread...
Not sure if I ever admitted to starting again, but I didn't last very long with that attempt...
I'm happy to say that I have not had a single puff in over two months - May 28th was my day. Like i needed more incentive, but.... I was going for a holiday to visit an old friend....she told me she wouldn't kiss a smoker, so...
I can honestly say I think it will stick this time. No cheating AT ALL. The cravings are STILL buggin me, but they're less frequent, and of shorter duration...plus, I've limited the amount I'm drinking; that's helped.
Now if I could just maintain the diet/exercise program I started when I first quit smoking........

AWESOME!!!

I am thrilled that this is still going on!! As the OP on the old board I am so happy to see this! Have not been here for a bit but as some of you might know I did go back for a bit but it has been just under 6 months back in the saddle and I am psyched for PJP who is coming up to our 1 year anniversary on Sept. 2nd

Well Ladies and Gentleman,

If you have not been paying attention, today September 2nd is the one year anniversary of this little project we started.

Congratulations to Heart Shaped Box (AKA PJP) for making it to the one year anniversary with out smoking!!!

I don't know if anyone from our orginal list kept it up, but if you did you should be sooooooooo proud of yourselves!

I went back but it has now been just under 6 months, so that ain't bad either

I hope people who have not joined in take this oppotunity of the anniversary to give it a shot. It is my daughters birthday and it got me going. Find something in your lives that makes it work.

BD, I'd like to thank you soooo much for acknowledging this day!! I also would like to thank you for starting this thread, and for being there to make me laugh and keep me on track, especially at the beginning ... I really don't think I would have had the strength at that time to stop... thank you also to all of the people that stopped by this thread and supported all of us through this...

I wish you the very best of luck BD, and you know I'm here to support you, as well as everyone else who has taken this big step, and who has stopped smoking or is thinking about it...

Congratulations Everyone!!!

Happy Birthday to BD's Daughter!!!

(((((((((((((((((((( Big Hugs ))))))))))))))))))

Here's the thread you've been looking for Thorns2010, I found this a few days ago

I can't believe that it's been 1 year and 2 months since I quit, although I've been VERY tempted at times.

I really hope there are others that have also quit, or that are trying...

(((((( Good Luck! ))))))

Day 9 smoke free. I've smoke for more than 20 years. I'm using the nicotine lozenges and they're really taking the edge off. Ti's been tough but I'm hanging in there.

Well it's been a looooooooooooooooooooooong time since I posted in this thread... Some new friends were discussing quitting and I remembered this gem.

Yes I did quit for a bit but unfortunately went back... I think HSB still is off (I hope)...

Soooooooooooo....
Shall we try this again??
I think a lead up to it worked before to get everyone's heads around it...
I propose a couple of weeks to set up how we are going to do this...

Anyone with me??

Don't know. I want to lose some weight first, I always eat more when I stop.
