One WEEK!!! I quit smoking for a week!!! I am so proud of myself so I had to share with ya'll. This is the longest I've gone in a while. I only tried to quit one other time and I quit for three weeks that time and started back up when my mom got sick and I was stressed. Ok, that is all :) |
WOO HOO! Way to go! that's awesome news and I know it can't be easy:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
Good Job!! How did you do it? Did you quite cold turkey? |
:thumbup: :thumbup: Keep up the good work! :D I'm really proud of you.:) I bet you can go longer!!! I'm looking foward to hearing more on this great progress! |
Thanks! Yes, cold turkey. I have been chewing a ridiculous amount of speariment orbitz gum. I'm talking like a pack and a half of gum per day! I also have been chewing on straws a lot and taking Excedrin once in a great while when I think the cravings are too much for me to handle. I have so much more energy. I went for TWO runs yesterday. I never run!!! :) |
Congratulations! |
oohh yayy i quit a week ago too.. yay us!!! lol ugh it hurts though.. i get headaches a lot more now and get soo restless at night.. but i tough it out.. i hope we can both get through this and quit for good.. good luck!! |
:clapsmile :yay_jump: :bravo: Way to go!!! I did it cold turkey too using Doublemint Gum though. Just kept telling myself I could always repair or even replace my teeth. But, the wonders of medicine have not perfected lung transplants! I'm routing for you!!! |
Good for all of you who have quit!! My husband used candy cigarettes when he quit. He quit for 11 months after an angioplasty at 44 for blocked arteries and started up when his Dad stayed with us for 2 weeks that Christmas (he was a smoker too). I was sooooo mad. That was 10 years ago and he is still smoking and has trouble walking any distance. So keep it up it is so worth it. |
Congratulations. Got any vids of the run? LOL. Keep up the good work. |
We used Orbitz gum too. It has a chemical in it that actually retards cavities. (Per our dentist). I also ate life savers,,, wintergreen... that ended up with a hugh dental bill. Now I just eat sugar free stuff. It has now been 5 1/2 years and I don't ever want to go thru the cravings again. Guess I'll stick with the gum and life savers. I also did alot of praying for help.....that is what really worked. |
OMG kristy, this is great news..keep up the good work...i wish i could do it. i did it for 4 days i think last month and went back to it like a friggin ahole.. im rooting for ya girl....you made it this far girly.... im gonna check in on you every day.....:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |
CONGRATS! thats a great start, it must be so hard! im sure if you really focus you can quit forever! we are rooting you on! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: |

Congrats!!! Today is day 14 for me! Woot! |
I never smoked in my lifetime so I really can't relate to what you're going thru but I do commend you on your accomplishment :thumbup: I hope you can stick with it. My sister smoked all her life, age 68 now, and tomorrow she starts her first of six kemo treatments for lung cancer. Please say a prayer she makes it thru. I'm rooting for you and all those that want to quit smoking, I hate to see any of you having to go thru what my sister is going thru now. I just bought her a wig today and my stomach is all upset. |
