I have stopped smoking cigarettes!
Not a one today.

Gonna make it.

Been smoking since the day Missy died (January 06). Spent more time as an adult not smoking than smoking, but sometimes I just pick the fucking things up. but now I am done with them. They raised the price 1.60 cents the other day (pre SCHIP increase)and I said the hell with it.

Now if i can make it 28 days, I will be done with the foul things forever.

1. My dear Bennyboy!
Major, major props to you!

I hope it goes easily for you, but if not, there are things to help you...

And remember that those tobacco companies are trying to take your money, and they don't give a damn about you!

Hopefully some former smokers will come along and tell you the specifics about why you've done yourself a very good deed!

I'm proud of you!

:hug:

I have done this before. All I gotta do is get to about five days and the urge eases.

One thing is that I smoked only natural cigs with no chemicals, so I only have some things to kick, not all the chemicals...

11. Congrats, Bennyboy...
I quit cold turkey in June 2002. At the time I was smoking between 1-1/2 to 2 packs a day. Put them down, went through a few days of "off again, on again" Hell, but have not had a smoke...nor wanted one...in what will soon be 7 years.

:toast:

Plus, think of all the extra $$$ you'll now have for things that WON'T kill you.
