I had 1 butt when I woke up this morning, havent had a butt since!! Put it in my head last night that I wanted to do it....so here I gooooo...ready or not....Non-Smokers here I come!! I started stealing my moms butts at 14 and plus back then you could buy butts for your parents without any questions so I used my lunch $$ For those instead of lunch. I am now 36. I quit once for a couple of months useing Nicorette. Going cold turkey this time. Everyone thinks I cant and my competetive butt is gonna prove them ALL wrong...hahahaa I WILL NOT LOSE THIS BATTLE....I hate to lose and I want more time....Butts take time to smoke. By the time I get my coat shoes and gloves on and get out in the cold, I smoke then go in and undress, its been about 15minutes, multiply that by at least 7 That + over 1 more hour I can spend with my kids!! I got this all figured out in my head this time...that is how I know my hard butt can do this!!!
Thanks for listining and also, Thanks for starting this thread, perfect timing!!! PS there is another one that was started too, I posted this there too... This is great!!!

YOU CAN DO IT! I am glad you have decided to join the cool club as my neice Tayia recently put it! I quit almost four years ago! My dh was my inspiration! We quit together...we ate popsicles!
THey say it only takes 45 days to retrain your brain so start training a new better habit!

I quit 5 years ago in Feb. when the price was going up to $5 a pack.I said I wasnt paying and this was my third time to quit.I saw a clip on Oprah with Dr Oz that showed you what you were doing to your body every time you took that puff.It hit home for me. I thought if my body was trying to work that hard to heal itself from the damage I was doing to myself I was gonna help it heal by quitting.
I suggest getting some hard candies to curb the oral habit.Chew gum I had a pack of gum everywhere.The first 3 days were the hardest.After 2 weeks you have it licked. you will still have the urge for a year or so.
Get a hobbie when you think about it go do something to get your mind off of it.

WOOHOO!! Keep it going...if ya have to when you get a craving, say to yourself you'll wait an hour and see if you still want one...you'll forget..lol. I quit for a week by doing that till DH came home with some. I started this bc the other thread is a year old

We needed a new one for new quitters! I have set my date for Feb 1st, but will be slowing WAYYYY down between now and then! I've been thinking about it for a while now anyway.

I quit last spring and I was a HEAVY smoker. I didn t smoke when I was pregnant but after I stopped breast feeding I started again. One puff and it was on again. the stress of being a new mom just added fuel to the fire. I used Chantix, Buprofin and gum to quit. Now I can't stand the smell of smoke. You have no idea what you are NOT smelling until you quit smoking. I didn't want my kid going to school smelling like an ash tray.

Good Luck!

I smoked my last butt and didnt feel like buying another one. This thread is cool, I am not telling anyone but DH that this is going on...I figure the less pressure the better.

So this is great I can talk about it and no one I know will know. My sister is gonna try too, so that should help, if and when she does it.

19Dawn76 WTG!!! I hope to be able to say that as well very soon! Yeah it does stink. I don't inhale deeply so the smell kinda gets me if it's blowing in my face instead of out of my face..lol.

baldie My kids pressure me SO bad if they know I am trying, and that just gets on my nerves when I need them to be much calmer nerves...lol!
