              I have set a quit date for smoking Monday Sep. 17

              :new: K9Lover suggested this area to me....I am not sure how I get to become a member. Need some guidance. I am 5 days no alcohol and figured why not go the whole distance and quit smoking too.

                This is the post that got me going. I spent about an hour reading it and after about 15 years of smoking and drinking chardonnay... quit for 5 days so far! Feels great... I am new to this forum but have been a lurker for a long time and respect all of you! You are an inspiration to me. Lets see how far we can go!

                    Update: 22 days, 5 hours and 42 minutes...

                    That's 3 weekends! (I know, I know...weekends are just days...but that's the ONLY time I'd have a cig with my coffee...and I looked forward to it...I found that I still enjoyed my coffee while I was reading a book in bed!)

                      Your doing fantastic!!! I'm gearing up!.... Just have to pick my date. It's going to be soon! Do I do it b4 my girl fly's home for a wk on the 29th? Or wait until she leaves? I'm going to be making trips to airports & one of them is a small one 2 hrs away. Then my other girl has never flown & is going to Vegas for youngest daughters BF's b-day/ combo wedding union of her Highschool's BFF's Mom's partner. I'm not sure if he's flying from San Diego here, he's in the Navy. Now that I wrote this all out. I will wait until early Oct. To many trips to the airport, guests. Good thing I'm sober. At least I don't smoke in car or house.

                      Did you join that smoke forum? I have to do this, for a few reasons. No joke. I'm watching your progress & it's so inspiring! I know if you can get thru this next wk, & you will, you have done it! It's over, no more smokes ~ kapoof. Are you super tired? I've read this is going to happen? If it does, well, more coffee, I guess.

                      I'm so sick of them! Still smoking 10-15. Previous last few months a pk.

                      Where are you JC? XX

                        WF - Pick a date that will work for YOU...it's going to be a struggle at first, so make it as easy as possible. My quit date was Sunday August 26th...I just knew I wanted one more weekend of enjoying my coffee with a cigarette in the morning. Saturday I smoked as normal, and made sure I only had about 4 left in the pack for Sunday...then I had my coffee and cigarettes and put out my last one before my 9am church....I wanted to go to church that day as a non-smoker....I did, and haven't had one since. I promised myself, my daughter and my God (I don't normally preach, but I feel this is a huge part of my success this time) that I wouldn't ever smoke again. So every time I get a craving, I picture myself sitting outside smoking, and wondering how I could ever justify it to God? To myself yes ("I'm only human, I'll start over"), to my daughter ("I'm the adult here...I promise I will try again")...but not to God (What could I SAY? I know I promised YOU but I LIED?) Anyway...didn't mean to get off on a religious tangent, I normally keep that side of my recovery private, although I do owe a lot to it!

                        So in a nutshell (too late huh? lol)....start when you have the best chance at succeeding! October sounds good...shall I start nagging you? LOL

                        Good luck!!!

                          23 days and 23 minutes!

                          I just figured something out that suprised me. I have "skipped" 184 cigarettes. If you figure each cigarette took five minutes to smoke, 184x5=920, that's 920 minutes, divided into hours: 920/60 = 15.33333 .... 15 HOURS I WOULD HAVE SPENT SMOKING..... I've never thought of it that way before. Now the question is, WHAT the heck did I do for those 15 hours that I would have normally been smoking? LOL And feel free to correct me if my math is off, I am by no means a math genius. HA
