Congrats!
My wife quit smoking awhile ago...but is now hooked on nicorette gum. Not nearly as bad for you, but costs more than smokes
Hopefully she will kick them too....preferrably when I'm on vacation or away for awhile :P

Kelli,
I was a 2-pack-a -day man. I quit cold turkey in June 1979. I know what it feels like. You'll feel better if you punch something. I know I did. I punched out my 5-drawer file cabinet at work. It was a std. joke among my coworkers for about 20 years. Take it one hour at a time and send me a PM/e-mail if you want to talk. Good Luck to you.

I hope you can hang on Kelli, my freind has quit 3 times already and is currently still suckin the butt( good for me becouse I bet him every time he tries). It really is a habit I don't understand, it seems to be a personal weakness that one must be sucking on something to be able to feel good about being themselfs. I don't know I just don't understand addics.

Quitting
Hi Kelly, Now you know your smarts have kicked in. I smoked till my daughter was month two in the womb. I thought, do I want to be here for her? You bet. So I quit after 20 or 25 years of puffing away. Now I see people paying $5.00 for a pack of future ash. Its real simple. It does nothing for you except kill you. You will always be ahead by not smoking.
Now for something completly different. How is your nursing course coming. Or have you changed. I think most of the people on the site would like to know. So congrats on being a nonsmoker. Take care, BOBB |

thanks for the support all.
addiction is a very funny thing, while i don't think i was addicted as some people could be, i still should not have been doing it. it is really hard to stop doing something not only after it is a habit, but also when your body chemically believes that it needs a certain type of drug. ask any previous smoker...there are those times where they would love to just light up...hopefully i will always be able to fight that urge, so far, i had a pretty stressful week..so i guess i am doing good. i have been told that quiting cigg smoking is harder then stopping heroin usage...probably because of the legality and the availability issues, don't know how true it is, but oh well and i actually believe that i will miss the svx more...i miss it like crazy... i mean i can always go out to the store and buy another pack...but i can't ever get my car back now Kelli

Many congratulations, there is no bigger turn-off than smokers breath. Now that you have given up, I may even let you snog me
