| To quit smoking.. again anyone else here in the process of quitting? I had been smoke free for 4 stinking years.. and for some stupid reason I started again while at work. I was smoking on my breaks, probably just because its sociable. What I should have done was hung out with the smokers and not put one in my mouth. I thought I had control, I thought that I was still not a smoker.. guess what I am a smoker again. i get the cravings and I just have to have them. Soooo now I'm going to quit again. I bought my nicotine patches, thats what got me through it the first time. Wish me luck, and is there anyone that wants to walk down this road with me? Moral support is great.

| No, I can't walk down that path again...I am an ex-smoker. But I can offer encouragement...you've done it before, you can and will do it again! Best of luck, I'm pulling for you!!!

| I'm a Quitter! I quit for Ten Years! and started back...after five years I am quitting again. I am six weeks in and haven't slipped once. Last time I used the gum but this time I decided to just Cowboy Up and quit cold turkey. However you decide to do it I support you. You know you can do it because you have done it before. My motivation was getting mad at the fact that I was a slave to the addiction, it made decisions for me that I wouldn't have made for myself. I'll be ready anytime you need some support.

My furkids Donating Member | I am going to do it.....AGAIN! I had quit for 7 years, went through a divorce and started up again. I have been smoking for 10 yrs now...I can't believe I did such a STUPID thing! I am so angry at myself! We are headed to Maine Wednesday, this is my target day to quit.....FOREVER! I just became a first time gramma and want to be around for a very, very long time to enjoy my grand-daughter. I am in the middle of the book The easy way to stop smoking. I am going to finish it before I leave for Maine. My daughter quit after reading the book...If she can do it....so can I! Good Luck!

| I can offer encouragement...I quit for 7 years and started again and then quit again-12 years ago. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Try this, put the same amount of money in a jar that you pay for ciggarettes. Hopefully this given a financial incentive to quit. But seriously, you can do it!

| I'm so sorry you lost your quit. I quit nearly 3 years ago now, thought I was in the clear. Thank you for sharing. I needed the reminder that the demon can always come back if I let him. There are some great online support groups, you should look into joining one. I know that is one reason why I have kept my quit, as each anniversary I can go in there and post proudly! Something else that helped me was stopping hanging out with the smokers at work. You can go to lunch etc. with them, but go for a walk instead of hanging out for the smoking part. Good luck with your new quit!

| I decided to quit smoking last year and went with the Chantix pill. I have tried the gums, patches and whatnot...none worked...I really didn't have faith in the Chantix working either so I kept smoking, putting back my quit date to the 1st of Feb. However, I didn't make it...I ended up quitting January 16th. The first couple of months I did think about a cigarette but not enough to pick one up...now, I don't even think about it. I smoked just shy of 20 years!! Now the bad news, the side effects for me were horrible...I was very nauseated for about 30-45 minutes after taking the pill and tired wasn't it...I was exhausted! I am sure my other medical problems played a part...but in the end...I am no longer a smoker...I only took the pills for 2 1/2 months. So...maybe it is an option...I got everyone on them at work...a few didn't go through with it because of the nausea. But the ones that did stick it out no longer smoke.

| I quit on Jan 23rd with Chantix and I really feel like if I can do it anyone can. I honestly didn't even want to quit. Smoking is such an awful addiction but I loooved smoking. I knew it was so bad for me and was not socially acceptable and made me smell but still... I just really liked it- I guess that's part of the addiction. I am so much happier now without it though. You can do this! BTW, the Chantix did make me feel sick for the first week but it was worth it.
