Ok I Quit

[Trudy]

I have been struggling with quitting smoking but so far the addiction has won.. I went to my doctor today and she said if I do not quit I will die.. I already have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ,sinuitus,emphysema, and COPD not to mention a few other health problems. They had to put me on a machine called a nebulizer 3 times just to clean out my lungs.They put me on antibiotics, 2 different types of allergy meds, a cough pill, and also Albuteroal .
Then to make matters worse they recieved my results from the heart monitor and echocardiogram and I have a blockage in 2 of my main heart vessels that keep restricting and may have to operate. Today is not a very good day please keep me in your thoughts and give me support in quitting these damned cigerettes..

I hope you get better Trudy, its gonna be hard to kick the habit, but its not impossible. My dad quit and he had been smoking for about 40 years or so. I never thought I'd see it, but when they threatened his life he threw them down and he has never felt better. You are in my thoughts and prayers, I really do hope you find the strength to quit. There are chatrooms and such with other people who have quit or about too, they can help you. I wish you all the hope I can muster. ;)

Good luck, I've never known anyone with an unhealthy addiction such as that, so I can't relate... I, on the other hand, would be dead within a year if I started smoking, as I already have a precancerous condition.

lol i know what ya mean (even though that is really really bad) i used to smoke too...i started when i was about 7, and stoped about 2 years ago, i found the best way to quit is to just not have be near em and keep your mind busy.

hope you get better :D

and quit smoking! (i know it's easy to say but harder to do, but if you find something do to ~ like me and messing around with my PC and trying to figure out how to code ~ it'll be alot easier to quit)

Quitting is hard, but if youve got such unhealthy signs it should be motivating. My mother stopped multiple times, for like 2 years once, but got back on them, knowing you I think you have the willpower to get rid of them. The will to live is a hell of a lot stronger than you would think, even if you dont feel that it's urgent.

Cigarettes are more addictive than heroine. If you quit cigarettes than you can sure as hell kick somebodys ass in the parking lot, just because...

Okay I have been quit for 2 days straight and not even had a drag off a cig.. I feel a little restless and jittery and want one but will not succumb.... It is really funny how in just two days my tastes buds and sense of smell has increased.. Damned cigerettes freakin stink and the food actually has flavor to it.... this is awesome... I will do this...

[Qween B]

you can trudy! ^_^ chew gum and stuff thats sugarless, keep yourself unoccupied

I have two bits of advice for you. The first is that you must remember that you must quit for yourself. Not for your family or for your friends. Not for any other reason but yourself. The second bit of advice that should help you get through this is to tell yourself every morning when you wake up, "I am not going to smoke today.". Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you will not smoke today. Whatever you have to do to not smoke today. Just try to get through today. Do not worry about tomorrow. Just get through today without smoking. It makes things a whole lot easier to deal with. Also, this advice can be used with just about any addiction, as long as you are serious about quitting.

Thats a good idea, its harder to quit in a smoking enviornment, just about all of my family has tried.

Its really hard to make a person quit something. Its like impossible. I've tried when I was a kid to make people stop smoking. I could never really persuade them in any way. Most of the time, no one else can change a person other than the person itself. I know that first hand.

Im pretty sure that the smoke stinking is a good sign, its always harder to do somethign that repulses you. I hate ciggarette smoke, and i get so pissed when my mom thinks that im going to start smoking because i love to play with the lighter when she lights up. I like fire, not smoke...
But yeah, hold in there
