    Oh CBW -you are right. Good neighbors are great to have.

    This is the best thread I have read so far. I would like to quit smoking too, I have lot's of kids and a husband that doesn't smoke. Wow you guys are doing great things for your body. Hope to chime in. Is this where I wait and you ask me what am I waiting for?

    Hi Start :) and it's time you stopped too :)

    Yes you are right. I smell like an ashtray and I hate it. I have quit before I think 4 times or 3 actually, stayed done for a year and then I let one slip right between my fingers and ahhhh. Now I need to do it again. Cold turkey guys?

    No, I actually was put on the medicine Chantix. I did seemed to work.

    Oh my you had stopped for a year? I think what got me was I just didn't like having to stand outside everywhere. It got to the point where I wasn't enjoying the cigarette anymore.

    Basically, I just wasn't feeling the love, from anyone. They just don't love us smokers ( I will always be a smoker at heart).

    I was told the nicotene companies have now laced the cigarettes with a more addictive ingredient to keep us hooked. That really made me man and inspired me to say NO MORE. It's a struggle every day, but we are here for you and we are here for each other, whether we stick to it or slip and fall.

    Ok, tomorrow I will be stopping, now that I know you guys know it, I have to. You see I am a closet smoker, and now that I have come out IT IS ALL OVER!! Hope to be getting support as I go, as I will give the same for you. Junk food and caffine will have to wait though!

    There's no way I could give up coffee too!

    I have, though, inadvertently given up alcohol. I just can't seem to enjoy a beer without a smoke... so... no beer!

    You can do it! I quit cold turkey, but let me tell you... I wish I'd had medication of some sort. It was awful, you know, you've done it already. But... we're here when you need to complain about how badly you need that smoke!

    Start - you are not a quitter - but a winner!! You can do this!

    Yup, your secret is out!! The door is off that closet!!

    Tomorrow is your day, okay :)

    Ok, I will come out so to speak. Can't wait, seems so stupid to me that I would even want to anyway. I would really like to be around for all the up coming events in my life. I know I know stop talking the talk and walk the walk! Ok then, tomorrow it is. See you then. A lot!!

    Not only is the door off but Heart, now has the door bolts so you can't hide behind it now. Start, the only way to quit is any way you can. There is no fool proof way. You know your body as well as yourself. We pass no judgement here only support. People fall from time to time and we understand that. Were here to help you up. There's gum, lozengers, zyban, and chantix. As well as cold turkey. I forgot the patches (I wish they made a caffiene patch) We know where you're coming from and how hard it is. Smoking is addictive and breaking the hold is a big step but not an impossible one.
    When I quit I told my husband to buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride. I have kids too and they were my inspiration as well as my conscience. Do what ever you can to quit and were here on the top branch spurring you on.
    We owe it all to Cbw, who brought us all together and the courage to quit our respective addictions. Mine being caffiene now. Cigs was 2 years ago. We inspire each other with love friendship and strength.
    I hope we can inspire you and you'll stay.
    Were all goddesses in our own way.

    Btw have you heard about the terrorist arested at fort dix and cherry hill today? Both in my back yard so to speak.
    But I'm cool, grace under fire. I just wish my knees would stop knocking together.
    Hehe

    Stress free, Oh that would be good. Is that possible? Maybe, depending on what kind of drugs I take. Lol Just kidding.

    The only time it is stress free, is when I come home and I see my beautiful wife smile, and my little boy happy to see his papa. Oh those are the moments.

    Joe
