KICK BUTT! Cheerleaders for the quitters, post here!

[digitS']

I smoked for about 20 years, quitting again and again and again, but you know what came between all the quitting

.

During one of those "put the butt down" times, I met my current wife. I tried every way I could think of to start up again - sneaky, in-your-face, join-me(?) . . . She wasn't having any of it

!
It is real, real tuff - what used to be the most difficult time was sitting, impatiently, in traffic

.

DW would cry when she suspected that I had a smoke

. I finally had to truly quit so that I could honestly say, "No! I did not!"

Find someone to be honest with. Find something else - like gum. It won't help much but it will help a little.

And, you really, really know that you are stronger than a cigarette

.
You bet you are

If you get to wanting a cig, just go back 4 post and do what Chix-in-Ga's avatar is doing. I think that little joker is cute. My kids put sounds with it everytime he bops his head.

Get through quitting in whatever way works for you. I snacked on a whole lot of baby carrots. No idea of why this worked for me but there you go.

My advice would be to find your own way and to find your strongest internal motivation to quit and stay off of it. In other words, what do you want to live for? And ask your loved ones to help you if you need it. I couldn't drive for two days because I had this incredible headache. DH ran the errands to help out.
