Hey there everybody it's me again. I was so proud of myself on Monday because I went almost all day without a cigarette and then I had a moment of weakness, phoned my mommy, and had her pick me up a pack on her way home from work. And being at work hasn't helped because I constantly have my co-workers asking me if I want to join them for a smoke, they say I "oh I forgot you were trying to quit" and me, being me always has a hard time saying no. I decided not to use the patches or gum because I have quit more addictive things than cigarettes by going cold turkey. But for some reason stopping smoking cigarettes it a lot harder than the other. And I can hardly believe that this term is almost over, clinicals are coming and so are the harder classes, or at least they sound like they are going to be harder. Any hoot don't want to keep you here all day, I like my space lol. Later, lots.

I can relate so much with you. I have smoked since I was 16. It is hard to stop smoking. I have cut down on smoking but then when I'm stressed I find myself smoking me. When I do I always think of what happend to my dad. My dad was a firefighter and smoke two packs a day and now he has half of his heart only working. He find it hard to stop smoking after he had his heart attack but the medication they put him on made him sick when he did smoke so that was how he quit smoking. I would love to get those quit smoking meds but after hearing so many horror stories of people flipping out on them it scares me even more. It is good that when you do decide to stop smoking to have a support group. I think it all boils down to being ready to quit and when your ready to quit you can make yourself feel sick of it and before you know it your not smoking anymore. I hope that helps you. I am not ready to quit myself right now but maybe one day before my 35th birthday which is in Sept. I will look at myself and say ok time to quit. I cut down so that is the first step after that it should be easy. I think the big key to quiting is putting everything that deals with smoking out of sight out of mind then make your self do other things that does not invole hanging out with the other smokers for the first few months you quit. Second hand smoke kills faster then smoking itself. Hope that all helps you and don't feel bad I have been there myself many times.
