I'm going cold turkey.  Everyday I tell myself I will not smoke.  It's been eight days and I'm still not smoking. 

I actually threw everything away that might give me any itch to start smoking.  There isn't a lighter or candle in my house.

Just do whatever it takes!  And pamper yourself, you're a mother of three.  You deserve it!

I feel really crabby and depressed about quitting smoking.  I suffer from depression and am nervous about not having a way to self medicate.  I have to do this though.  HAVE TO!

TO QSJ...AND CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DECISON TO QUIT SMOKING...!

We are all in this journey together...Please be sure to read..."Quit tips Journal" from QSJ home page...also do some extra reading at www.smokeworm.com and www.whyquit.com

I believe that preparation and lists are the key to quitting....working towards that Quit date, by writing a list on why you want to quit smoking, what you will do in place of smoking, the benefits of quitting and how you will approach quitting...(ie., Chantix, nicorette, cold-turkey, etc., )

Remember Knowledge is Power....!

Have a beautiful day...!


Hugs Colleen

Good decision. It’s hard but you can do it. You’ll get a lot of support from the people at this site. I spend a lot of time here. It keeps my mind occupied. Check in often. It really helps.

Everyone says you have to quit for yourself but you don't have to quit by yourself.
