i need a cigarette
 

real bad... im having withdrawals.. HELP ME!!!! im going nuts.. trying
once again to quit,, havent had one all day ..... me and my b/f are gonna try again to do this together... he can do it, but not so sure about me.
i havent moved from this seat here at work,,usually im outside around
4 or 5 times a day puffing away... now i have to sit tight and not move.
so c'mon everyone as long as i have to sit here, lets laugh or something to keep my mind occupied .ppppllease...

Well...you could try to do something during the times you used to smoke - are you wearing a patch or anything ? It's really REALLY hard to quit and good luck !!

We can talk about Cute Guys if you want ? (boyfriends NOT included) :D

So.......Who would be your DREAM MAN ? (or Dream-girl ...if you're so inclined):p

Does this help at all? The first pic is of a smokers lungs. The second pic is of healthy lungs. I know it's been said time and time agian, but smoking is the single worst thing you can do to your body!!!!!! Your lungs will regenerate themselves and be healthy again, but you need to stop smoking and give them time to repair themselves before it is too late!!!!!






(Hope you don't mind me preaching to you. BUT you asked for encouragement to not smoke! So, I'm giving it to ya :D )

Awww Gina, don't worry. The first day is always the hardest. You can do it babe!!

And Vee, my dream man is ANTONIO SABATO JR!!!!!!! :D :D (Just don't tell the hubby lol) :p

I'll have one for you Gina ;) or two or three.

Sorry, I'm kidding. Stay strong. I am envious of you for quitting. You can do it.

Gina needs a pep rally!!!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT, GINA!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: That is awesome that you and your wonderful BF are doing this together! Just think of this....he is trying hard to quit, and he is not going to appreciate it if he gets home 2nite and you've smoked today! :eek: And you have one sweet sweet boyfriend! ;)

yes v, i have only one patch left over fromthe last time, its on my back.
it not working of course, im gonna scream any minute...
oh talk about men ok..
um um um um.. im scared to say anything , my boyfriends daugher comes on here, believe me, ihave to watch what i say, even in a joke..
matthew mcconaley... yummy dont know how to spell his name

he doesnt want me to die he tells me..... last nite he said the best thing to me.. after only 8 months of being together he told me that he cant imagine life without me.. yea of course he said that. i was giving him a massage
at the time

Good job Gina Try to think of something else or chew gum or on a straw. that's what help some people I know.

why not wear a rubber band on your wrist ...and do the flicking thing? Seems to work for alot of people?:)

cindy i play with a rubberband all day long..always did.. thats one on my
quirks as you call it... good one... im chewing gum now and im gonna have rotten teeth..

Man gina...I'd be wearing patches ALL OVER MY BODY if I tried to quit as of today....

and let me think about the Dream man thing - I like the guy on the Show "Saved" (Tom Everett Scott)....he's so hot but not really in a sexy way -

and I'm a die hard Tom Selleck lover. Oh...and Blair Underwood - YEEEEOW

Gina I am very sorry that you are having a hard time of it!! I can only imagine. I am glad that you have decided to kick the habit!!!! :thumbup:

How are you doing girl....just remember if you can get past today, tomorrow will not be as rough......I am so Proud of you!!!!!!:)

Good luck
 

How about giving yourself a treat?? Starbucks anyone? Chocolate? Buy stuff on the internet?? :thumbup:

Gina....I meant to tell you to try to chew gum....it really helps, just regular chewing gum....I went cold turkey, and chew gum like crazy...but it helped

i just stuck a piece of gum in my mouth and took a walk on my break and called my b/f for encourangment... hes gonna go buy me some lollypops and we are gonna stay out of the house tonight so i wont get tempted.. we will walk lexi and maybe go to the beach and then get some icecream.. yea now im gonna get like a friggin cow... mooooo....its only the first day and i have to take one day at a time..last time i did it for 3 days .. we shall see
i know 3 days is nothing, but it is for me.....

3 days is great....when you start wanting one real bad let us know, and we will talk you out of it....:)

A lot of people that smoke, including my friend, just have an oral fixation...they always need something in their mouth. That is such a good idea for your bf to get lollipops! Gum, pen top, ect. are also all good choices to substitute for that cigarette in your mouth! Sounds like you have a great support system! :thumbup:

good luck, I wish my mom would quit. I couldnt imagine losing her!!

it must be really hard. good for you for trying to quit though!!!! they have these fake cigarette things that i heard work kind of well. my friend is trying to quit and that is what he is using. it's been a week and so far he hasn't smoked. just think about your little baby lexi. she wants you to be around forever!!!

i do have a great support system,, all my yorkie talk friends, thats where i am all day long.... i get more support from you gals then anyone else and i thank you all... now dont stop.. kidding..
i just got to get it over tonight..its much easier at work, im more occupied,
you know the phones ring here and im on yt talking all day with you all. when i get home, i get bored and really look for that one smoke,, but i wont have any and neither will my b/f.. im probaby gonna choke him tonight. kidding.

Gina - you can do it!!!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I did it and it was the hardest thing. I have gone now 3 years and I still crave it when I see someone smoking because I LOVED it but I know you can do it. You know what helped me? It was the fact that I was addicted to something that was materialistic - ya know. I think that made me feel weak that a cigarette controlled my day but it was still hard.

GOOOO GINA!!!!!! :goodluck: :goodluck:

thank you,, im going home now, i hope i can stay smoke free till tomorrow.
one day at a time.. thats the way i have to think. thank for all the encourgement...:thumbup:

You can do it GINA!!!!!!!!! Do it for LEXI! :p

The hardest thing for me is to quit smoking!!! Both the fiance and I smoke.....and its so easy to say your gonna quit but when it comes down to doing it is another thing. Stay strong keep yourself busy what helps me is sunflower seed or suckers. Just think in the future you will be more healthy and your hair will smell better too. (now I need to take my own advice and quit!!!!):thumbup: Come on girl you can do it!!

Have you tried anything else? I quit using Zyban. I was able to smoke for about 10 days then I didn't want one any more and I still dont after 2yrs. Good luck.

You can do it Gina!! Try treating yourself to something ea time you make a goal of not smoking. Shopping always does it for me!

Gina I know exactly how you feel. On September 1, 2004 I decided to quit smoking. I went cold turkey and to this day it is something that I struggle with everyday. I think about smoking everyday but for me it is like a WWE Wrestling match and its me against the cigarette. When I look at it that way it is easy for me to get it out of mind because for so long I looked at a cigarette as somewhat of a friend. It was there when I needed it. Once I decided that I wanted to live a longer, healthier life I realized that the cigarette is my #1 ENEMY and I had to beat it. So now that I have Newport Lights in the Head Lock, I wake up each morning proud that I went one more day without giving in to them. I know that it is hard but the first 3 days were the hardest for me because it is more of a routine breaker in the beginning then the situations come along when you would normally turn to a cigarette for comfort, but the key for me was to look at the cigarette as the ENEMY and you will beat it every time. I hope and pray that it will become easier and easier for you to get through the day without a cigarette because you have made the right decision to quit.

WAY TO GO GINA!!!! WAY TO GO GINA!!!! WAY TO GO GINA!!!! WAY TO GO GINA!!!!

devoted to Lucy!
 

I think it's wonderful that you're quitting! Good luck to you and your b/f!!!
