So mad at myself for failing... Why am I so weak when it comes to smoking????!!!
We all are. Its a bitch of an addiction. Ive been trying to quit forever it seems. Eventually its gonna happen and you should have to feel the same way. Identify your triggers and either avoid them or conquer them.
Good luck Kiwi!
Stop in by Pal once in a while!

Glad u didn't give up on coming back here. You are not weak. At least your no weaker than the thousands or millions of other people that try to quit. It's hard. If I asked you to pick up a large weight and u couldn't it's not cause ur weak, it's cause u hadn't built up enough strength yet. Just keep on putting more non smoking days in than smoking days and u will be strong enough to call urself a quitter.
Don't quit on quitting. It gets better and ur life is worth it no matter what.

I am trying to quit but it is hard. Don't know if I could do it but I'm going to keep trying even if I fail and you shouldn't give up either. Have faith in yourself as we do.

You didn't fail kiwi! You just hit a bump in the road! Just keep trying till it sticks! You're not weak, you're addicted! Don't be so hard on yourself and take a moment to appreciate your determination in trying again! You've quit once seen how shitty and hard it can be and yet you're doing it again, that's definitely not being weak in my book!

Is this the part you remove the sunglasses before the kiss?? How about a hug instead big guy?
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
I have to say, I especially admire those of you that have to live with smokers as you fight to quit! Don't know if I could do it and I give you props!!!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Thank you! I appreciate the shout out. At this point in my quit, it has only grown more and more repulsive.
There are times when it is difficult though like when a pack a cigarettes are laying on the table calling your name.
But smoke-free is the way to be! 39 days baby!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Thank you, my husband just doesn't want to quit like this he wants to do it cold turkey...After I quit. It worked for him before, not me.
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
It's awful not cuz the cigs are here. It stinks sooo bad and gives me a headache!!!! I am not tempted at all.
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Thanks!! Makes me want to smack them really really hard!! Lol!!
It's so so so so so hard!! I have one room in my house smoke free and it has my yoga and my bed in there...lol
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Y'all are so tough! I visit friends for an hour and am tempted, I could never survive living with one! Props everyone!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
I live with 4 smokers.... And two out of the 4 smoke more than a pack a day!!!
I spend a lot of time in my room!! Lol!!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
You are really showin' what tough stuffff u are made of and how committed u REALLY are ! !
I applaud u ! ! !
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Hey tywebber - they should make an achievement award named after you I think :)
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Aww thanks.... This is why I am 1 on here all the time...2 have walked at least 4 miles everyday... And 3 really really wanna smack a bitch these days... Lmao
But hey I'm on day 12 and haven't cheated once!! Not One Puff Ever!!!!!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Ty, you have my undying respect and admiration!! You should be REALLY proud of yourself! And if you have to, smack a bitch;)
Hehehe...Thanks bunches. I am not giving in!!!!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Thanks! That's good to hear, it was super hard at first but now it's just kind of gross. It's hard because I really have focused so much on how bad smoking is to be able to stick to my quit and it's difficult to not beat over the head the people you love that smoke with all the dangers and grossness of smoking. I feel like I must be getting really annoying and verging on becoming one of those self righteous ex smokers. Oh well it's because I care! But it freaked me out yesterday when there was a pack laying around on the coffee table, my brain was like wtf!?
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Day 3 and struggling. Why does it seem harder this time around than last time? I wish I wouldn't have started again after almost 2 months clean:( it only took a few days to get addicted again. It was like i never even quit!!! I feel hopeless..
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Yah it sure is hard I also am on my third day and struggling and finding it so hard but then I read the post and see how long some of the people have been smoke free and it gives me hope that it can be done and we can do it just hang in there Together we will get thru it!! I right now am having a huge craving but we can't let those smokes win we are stronger then them lol good luck and hang in there

Ellie I'm just guessing those toxins build up real fast, kinda like money, takes awhile to save it but you can blow it all on hours.
Unfortunately your body is again restarting the cleansing process. I know days 3 and 4 were tough for me physically then it was a mental battle to the end of week 1.
Hang in there Ellie as hard as it may seem you know u can do this.
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Hang in there! You know how to push through! Just remember how this feels so you won't be tempted again! You got this. Stay focused and stay strong!
Ok I love LS but it is totally screwing up my writing habits. I'm hitting return multiple times at the end of a thought and ending every sentence with !!! .
I losing one addiction and getting another! Not good. Anyone have any good Yo Momma jokes?
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
I know it's driving me crazy! Oh and don't get me started on ! Marks cause it seems everything these days deserves one! Lol

I used to teach H.S. English & found a lot of my students wrote in "text" language. Drove me nuts!!! (the extra exclamation points just for u!) ;-)
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
I have the same problem!! I was tryin to write a work related email an reread it ad literally caught myself using exclamation points at the end of every sentence in it!!! Ridiculous!!!!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
An amusing thought: if you try to put aside the $ you woulda spent on cigs, and find that you need it for bills, food, etc. then that means you couldn't afford to smoke to begin with!
True Dat!
Posted via LIVESTRONG.COM MyQuit Coach Mobile
Great thought. I have been putting the cost of a pack away everyday since I quit. It adds up quick!

Cinnamon Chex could very well be the most perfect food ever!

Best reason I have for not lighting up again was hearing my little princess say...."Daddy, I like it when you put me to bed now cause you don't smell anymore"
