My story

schedule 12 Jan 2012

Hi, I'm about to turn 40, been smoking for about 24 hrs - way over half my life. I'm a binger, I can go a day or 2 without a cig but as soon as I have a drink the little reward receptors in my brain go haywire & the cravings start. I have tried quitting countless times with varying success - my longest time without a smoke was 3 months about 2 yes ago. It was awesome but I thought I could have just one and before I knew it I was right back where I started...stinking & feeling like crap because of all the chemicals & toxins I inhaled.So my quit date is 10 days away, the day after my 40th birthday.I think this site & being among others who've been here will help.Thanks.

I'm exactly the same.....countless attempts at quitting, but Im determined this one will be successful!!!

All the best for your quit day, just take it one day at a time :-)

Good luck. Have a great 40th birthday and maybe once the party is over cut the drinks out as it is a trigger for a lot of people.
