Finally Ready-For GOOD!
I am 39 years old... I have been smoking since my teens. I've "attempted" to quit a few times but never made it past a few days. My heart wasn't in it. I wasn't quitting because I wanted to. But now I am! And I WILL succeed! Cigarettes have controlled me for too long. Now I control myself! I'm tired of waking up and reaching for them before I've even opened my eyes. I'm tired of smelling so horrible. I'm tired of FEELING so cruddy. I'm ready to be able to play with my children without being short of breath. I'm ready to go and do things without the thought, 'Is there anywhere to smoke?'. I know this probably seems like an angry post... The truth is that I am angry! I've let cigarettes run things for far too long. Move over! It's my turn to run my life!
P.S. I am not an angry person. Lol! I'm very happy and loving. I just want cigarettes out of my life for good! My quit date is July 21st.

Hi sweetie I’ve been just over 4 years now smoke free it was the hardest challenge I’ve ever had but coming out the other end is the happiest I have ever been .. if at first you don’t succeed try again I just kept trying until I was like I can’t keep putting my body through these agonising first few days so I sat with a cup of coffee and thoroughly enjoyed 4 cigarettes with it I haven’t even had a puff since ... I walked everytime things got bad I walked and walked and I slept a lot as well do whatever it takes for you hope this helps you
Good luck !!! You’ve said exactly how I feel !!! Today is my quit date ! Best of luck you / we can do this !!!
