Hi, I am 63 years old, have asthma and various other issues and have almost 8 days into my quit, I have been reading for weeks and finally had the strength
to try again, yes again, I have tried numerous times before, with wellburtrin, nictrol inhaler (which when you tried in inhale it was so bad that it really
was impossible)smoking cessatation classess and hynosis, the longest I lasted was 11 days and of course cold turkey but without the information that I have
now been reading about.
Never has anyone more than me, wanted to quit, I know my family wants it for me, but they would say if you really want to you will, they never seen the
crying jags of sheer disgust and fear that I couldn't stop and wanted to so badly, I'd asked myself, how can one person want something so bad and not
be able to do it, I always thought I was a strong person, with all the different life issues I have dealt with and then couldn't deal with quitting
cigarettes.
The sentence Never take another Puff, like one post read, sounds simple, and yes it is simple, (but like they also said not easy) This 8th days has been one
of my hardest, I don't know why, and I thought I will sit down and post and it will help me get through whatever I am feeling today. I want to be free,
I look at other people that don't smoke and I envy them and want to be like them, Since the longest quit I have ever had was only 11 days, I don't
think I was able to reach the part of the quit where you don't really think about cigarettes much, and I want to reach that more than anything , I truly
want to know what it is like to be like other people, I watch the children play outside and I envy them their childhood, as they don't even know about
smoking and I think what bliss. I think my hardest thing at this point in time is believing that I can and will feel normal without cigarettes in my life.
Sorry I went on so long, and thank you for listening
