7 1/2 days FREE!!!!
I'm 31, and have been smoking since I was either 14 or 15 (I don't remember exactly). That means that I have been a smoker over 1/2 my life! I never really thought about it like that, until this week.
I didn't even start because of peer pressure or anything, I just wanted to try it to see what it was about. I stole a cig from my dad's stash in the garage. I was hooked after the first one.
I never bought by the carton, just by the pack (because if you bought by the carton you were a real smoker, but if you bought by the pack it was just casual). Casual, for over 15 years... what was I thinking!!!
I have tried to quit before (acupuncture, gum, hypnosis, tapering down) but none of it worked. I would quit for maybe a day or two, but always would go back for "just one more puff."
This time I am determined to get my life back! This is the longest I have gone without a cigarette since I was a young teenager! This site and whyquit.com is what made the difference. It made me realize that I am an addict. I hate to admit that, but if I don't realize the truth, I don't even want to think about what could happen.
The withdrawl symptoms have not been bad at all for me. I did get the "smoker's flu" for day's 4 and 5, and I'm having a hard time sleeping, but I know that it'll all be worth it!
Days 3 and 7 were the hardest so far. I had major cravings day 3, but got through them. Day 7, I almost cracked! The only thing that got me through was the thought of going through detox again. I've gotten so far, why would I want to start over?
It's hard because my sister/roomate still smokes and she still likes me to go outside with her when she smokes. This has always been our time to talk and hang out. She's very supportive of me quitting (and promises to quit soon) but until then... Sometime the smoke smells horrible (and I'm glad that I quit!), other times it smells so good. I just take it one day at a time.
Thanks for reading my rambling. This site is exactly what every ex-smoker needs!
