I QUIT SMOKING 4 DAYS AGO!!!

Hanlie · 09-08-2008, 02:25 AM

Just wanna say that it's going well and I'm hanging in there. I made it through the weekend and that's always the hardest part, right?

I've lost 50 pounds and kept them off, I've made exercise a daily part of my life, but smoking was the last baddie that had to go ... and it's going baby!

Wish me luck

outstanding!
Funny after I lost my weight (started at 144) I also tackled the smoking
low carb gave me such a feeling of control and success that it helped with the smoking!

For me the hardest part was getting through an argument with my (then) DH without picking up a smoke to calm my nerves. When I made it through THAT, (and I did), I knew I could make it through anything! That was, let's see.....19 years ago! Got a new DH now (who would never have even looked at me if I had been a smoker at the time.)

Congratulations on your accomplishment. Take it ONE day at a time, and remember: you are now a non-smoker. Do what non-smokers do!

Good for you!! I quit July 4th, with one slip! Save some money!

Remember, if you slip, that is okay ~ just keep at it!!

I am on Wellbutrin to assistance and it really works wonders!

The hardest part for me was having one with my Starbucks

So that had to go as well!!

congrats on taking this huge step!!! i quit 6 months ago and it has been a wonderful journey! just remember that it does get easier with time!

thebarnhearts · 09-08-2008, 07:10 AM

Congratulations!!

I just hit my one month anniversary of quitting on friday. The best advice i can give is stay away from the habitual places or activities that went along with the smoking, (phone talking, coffee etc.) it really helps alot! I also quit on a weekend and i figure if you make it through the weekend you can make it another weeek and then another and so on. Good luck to you!!

Congratulations to all of you non-smokers. That was one addiction that I thought I'd never shake. I thought I would be a smoker forever.

This November 16th it will be 4 years for me. No slips ever.

My advice is to keep your fat high, stick with induction levels and make sure your omega 3 consumption is high. This will help your cognitive function which is half the battle of smoking. I did this and did not gain any weight. I also increased my exercise which motivated me.

mollyorocks73 · 09-08-2008, 09:37 AM

Congratulations!! Aug 6th was a year for me! I gained 50 pounds in a year when I quit! My lungs feel great and I can smell again. Now I just have to lose this weight.

tybeeanna · 09-08-2008, 12:09 PM

ellagurl · 09-08-2008, 12:38 PM

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I quit 4 years ago on October 26th with the help of wellbutrin and websites such as quitnet. There is not one thing I regret about quitting smoking, and you won't either!
