My Son

You can do it Jude. I am in UK and resolved to go to OZ with all the money I saved. I am now 1year plus 2 months 1 week. You can do it, your sons will be so happy.

Hi all

I am a male, 54years old and started smoking at 17. I reckon that I could fill a 6ft deep grave with all the butts and decided this morning that I am not ready to die. I have mild emphysema diagnosed a year ago and still frigging smoke. UNBELIEVABLY STUPID. JUST BEEN DECLINED FROM LIFE INSURANCE TOO. What am I doing with my life and why does my weak will power and useless mindset keep on saying yeah I will quit soon. Thousands of cigarettes I have had since I first said I'm stopping at age 30. I have 2 beautiful boys who constantly revert back to me smoking in whatever topic of conversation we have, they send me all these links to watch, I am tortured (mildly ie: bucket of water etc) every time I am caught after failing my quit date. I am seriously letting them down and all they want is for their dad to stay alive. But still I continue to smoke. For me it's the craving that I can't budge, I have tried pretty much all the tools and know that cold turkey is the only way. The longest I have gone for is 4days.

SO THIS MORNING I AM GOING TO TRY AGAIN AND YES I WANT TO QUIT SO I WILL DO MY VERY HARDEST TO ABSTAIN FROM THOSE KILLERS.

I KNOW ITS MINISCULE BUT I DONT HAVE ANY CIGGIES ON ME AND HAVE BEEN SMOKE FREE FOR ONE HOUR

Hi there, I've read through a lot of stories, and urs really stood out to me. I'm in the early days of quitting to day 6, but the reason I felt the need to comment about ur story ashes to ashes is because im the last to days in the hospital visiting my Dad who has infacemia to he's been very ill since about the age of 65 with this disease and the doctors warned him so many times and he did not listen, eventually at the age of 70 he quit but it was to late he's not 80 in 2 weeks and has about 10% of his lung capacity left. I know exactly how ur family feel I'm watching my father fight for a breath every day and he gets chest infections so often he wakes in the morning not able to get a breath it's heart breaking to watch and nothing we can do for him on watch him sofercate to death slowly and painfully, and it's all because of this horrible addiction we all struggle to get away from there is no happy ending with enfacim
