    Default I quit smoking today!!

    I had my last ciggarette yesterday at 1:30 pm. I'm not going to lie it's been really hard. Expecialy when I went to work tonight. All the girls were smoking and all of the customers were smoking it seemed like. I went almost through two packs of sugarless gum today! At first I felt high then I felt like crying for some reason. I know it's going to be tough for me because my boyfriend smokes and we live together but I'm not going to give up. I realised I have almost seven years! And I am only 21!!!! I have a cookie jar and every day I'm going to through four dollars in there which is what I would use for ciggarette money and watch it grow!! I am so proud of myself for not giving in tonight. Wish me luck!!!!

    If you want reinforcement of why Ciggaretes are bad, go to your nearest hospital with a busy Emergency Room at the hours of 10:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. and ask to see all the COPD patients that come in.

    Then listen to thier lung sounds on a Stethascope.

    I garuntee you'll never want to smoke again.

    Also, get a prescription for Wellbutrin. It will knock down your cravings immensely. It's also a kickass antidepressant too that doesnt shut down your labido either.

    Congratulations and good luck. I don't think I will quit as long as I'm inthis business. I've seen girls do it and am impresed. But I smoke so much at work, (but not when I'm not at work). Good for you! You have my upmost admiration.

    Lilac,

    I am so happy for you and I am not kidding. I quit about 25 years ago at the request of my Dad. Less than a year later I watched him die of cancer. It is not pretty. You are doing a great thing for you and for those who love you, keep it up!

    Hope you don't mind but I am going to check back on you to make sure you stay with it. I want to see you succeed, you are too valuable of a person to waste your health for no reason and I truly believe that. KUDOS!

    I quit for my little sister - they were doing the whole risks of d/a at her school, and she told me all she wanted for her birthday was for me to quit smoking. So I did. Now she's a teenager, and try to get her to stop smoking... :-(

    Hey! Congrats! I hope that you followed through!

    I quit 12 days ago myself!!! I am using the patch - and it works quite well. Although the directions imply you stay at each step 4-6 weeks or somne such I only am using one week per step. I am on the final step right now, and I admit to nicotine craving - I think I have a pretty good start so far although I dont wanna say anything for fear of fugging it up!

    KEEP ON GOING! We can do it - hell they are ONLY cigarettes and we are bigger better stronger faster smarter, heh heh!

    Good luck, Leigh
    LIVE LONG & PROSPER!

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    Congratulations! Not only have you detered future lung diseases and cancer or emphysema but you've put a halt on premature aging.
    Your benefits are far greater than the money you stash in that cookie jar.

    I just realized that might sound kind of funny since we are on a stripper forum. LOL I meant the other set of lungs not the ones you show off at work. (But I often think of that set of lungs too I have to admit!)

    LEIGH!

    Good on you kid, I will be your cheerleader too if that is ok with you. RA RA RA SIS BOOM BA!! Bah humbug on smoking that is!

    I think that since you quit smoking and your boyfriend has not you need to put your foot down.

    Save up some money and let him know that he either needs to quit himself or smoke outside in support of you or that you'll move out.

    Its enough that you have to be around second hand smoke at work. You don't need that environment at home....but that's just my two cents take it or leave it.

    Good luck in continued success.
