Tomorrow morning I will have my last cigarette. I promised myself years ago that if I ever woke up coughing, that I would quit. The minute I hit the shower, I begin the classic, "Smokers cough". I consider that to be my last warning. Not that I want to live to be 90, I just want to feel good when I wake up. I want to be able to smell things again, (I think if a Jackal wretched in my kitchen, I wouldn't even notice) leave alone not being able to taste food anymore.

I've been through this before, I know what to expect. This time I'll try not to kill anyone, or chase cars, snapping at their tires. I will not eat 24 chocolate bars a day nor fill up on pasta every time I crave a smoke. Good luck to me, I want to breathe again.

Good luck my friend. I plan on attempting this in April

good luck with that my friend. one day i may be able to use you as inspiration.

you can do it!

Good luck, will keep my fingers crossed for you. You know where to come if when your nerves get frayed. You can yell at us.

Good Luck Leo!!! I plan to do the same when I go back to work in May.

I have taken the first step by changing from the cigarettes I love... to roll ups. This has reduced my smoking by nearly half, the impulse cigarettes that you smoke without even realizing it... are gone, I actually have to roll the thing first and best of all... it's not nearly as enjoyable!

Best of luck to you Paws,

I hope you can stay away from the tires....they really hurt if you don't snap them correctly....

If you have menthol can you send me the rest?
Good luck been down that road befor, its a hard one.
The patch is the best.......

I know, lost 2 teeth the last time.

Tried that a few times, then started rolling cigs., in advance.

my pappy quit after many years he said it was easy just have control and do somthing in place of the habit...

On Canadian health web site there is a list of things ya can do so you don't crave...
good luck

I do believe that with every craving, I could be held by anyone of you beautiful women, it would be easy.

You want to hear something really sad? I actually quit for 14 years and started again 11 years ago!

I so need a replacement in a "sucking on something" department. It's just so hard to leave my mouth unoccupied.

Or start dating someone who hates smoking!

I have been quitting since '82. Sometimes for a year or two.

I'm sure this has happened to many; I was a non smoker until my ex., suddenly left me.....you know the rest.

OH NO.....


Seriously though...I wish you the best of luck....

I am not saying that my ex., defined my lifestyle, but when traumatized, one seems to revert to some vice that gave them pleasure for whatever reason.
