| Quitting smoking This is my third (or fourth ) real attempt. But this time I went to see my dr for help and she put me on a program. I was going to wait until the 1st but decided to start today. I don't want to wait. I don't want to be a prisoner to this bad habit anymore. Wish me luck! |

| Buy a treadmill and get on that and walk till you are tired every time you really start to crave a cigarette. After 20 - 45 minutes going hard at the treadmill, all you will want to do is breathe - not smoke. That and prayer helped me stop 11-19-1988 after 10 years of smoking. Inside of 2 months, I was completely free of any thought ever of smoking and began to fear cigarette smoke - didn't even want to be in the same room with it. It is such a dangerous and deadly habit. Your body will love you for quitting now.

| Thank you everyone. I am so ready to quit. I know its more of a mental thing after the first few days. I've tried cold turkey and I pace around the house and don't know what to do with myself. A treadmill is an AWESOME idea actually. I have a gym membership. I will probably be going there a lot more now. |

| Exercise really does get the body and the mind focused on anything other than craving that cigarette. And your body does crave one, too, not just your mind. So that is why exercising helps so much as it give the body some other sensations to process. Plus, you have those great endorphins coursing through your body making you feel good and find that you think about smoking a whole lot less.

| So sorry your husband is battleing that disease. My mom is a cancer nurse so I know how ugly that one is. Sending prayers your way too. Can you believe my mom smoke for years as a cancer nurse. She's quit for years now but that just goes to show how bad a grip cigarettes can have on someone. |

| That's great you can do it! My niece smoked for years and quit 3 months ago. I am so proud of her. She has an app on her smart phone that tells her how many days since she quit, how many cigs she hasn't smoked and how much money she's saved. The money alone would make me never smoke! Good luck and keep us posted!

| You can do it! I quit cold turkey 7 years ago. This is crazy, but drinking Egyptian Licorine tea was the only thing that took the edge off. Stay strong, and do not take one puff. Not even one.

| It's great she shows me on a weekly basis. It has helped her a lot. I will have to ask her the name of it and let you know.
