Let Fear be your guide Sheila....I like Sue's rendition....Just tell yourself your not quiting, your just not going to smoke today.
 
Thank you ALL soooo much for your advice! You are ALL a blessing to me! Please bare with me for a minute or two ok?

As it stands right now, I'm up and doing well then I'm down and smoking one. I can say that I have cut wayyy back and I'm not going to beat myself up if I have a moment of weakness as long as it's not too often! ;)

Some of the ideas aren't a good option for me right now cause I'm not able to get up & go for a walk, or run from the cigs which is why I use the candy a lot. I know it's a copout but stress is literally kicking my arse right now in a bad way so I'm doing my best & praying for strength.

It's definitely helping a bunch knowing that I have the support of so many of you! Sitting here in front of my PC is hard cause I tend to light one then lay it down and type so if you don't see me.....ya know I'm running from a cig! :D

This is my last weekend at home for a while so hubby is going to try to keep us both busy (he's a smoker quitting with me too) so we won't think about it so much.....but he cheats, uses chewing tobacco to get his fix! :mad: :D

:confused: What I don't understand is because cigs are so bad for us and so hard to quit, why isn't there a treatment facility for it?? :confused: If I used Heroine, Cocaine, alcohol, etc. I could go somewhere and be locked down with counselors! :p and a padded cell so as not to endanger anyone around me or myself!! :D

Dennis, I would take you up on your offer but I will be in hospital trying to recover by then. :( Wish we could work out a trade, I'd take your 6 lbs if you'd take away my cigs! I'm 5'9" and weigh 117 lbs so I could use that weight. You could take my cigs and toss them in the woods while taking those beautiful pictures!! But honestly, I'll pray that you have the strength to lose your few more pounds painlessly! Thank You!

Thank ALL of you again for your support!! Gotta run!! :D
 
Its all about big business putting money in peoples pockets.....
No other product that is known to be so hazardous to peoples health, would ever be allowed to remain on the market. You'll make it...I know you will

I think you have a wonderful idea! Maybe after you're feeling better this might be something to really look into. I'll bet you could get some pretty good grant money to start just such a facility, and I bet lots of people would make donations too--I know I would. You go, girl!!

Smoking is legal and as long as it is legal there will not be treatment facilities.
Booze is legal but when one is drunk it often leads to many actions that are not. It is all big business and there are those who want to control what others choose to do and those that say live and let live or live and let die as the case may be.

Any adiction is hard to over come. I know. Those who are trying to stop smokeing, drinking, using, over eating or whatever "they" feel they should stop need support and not judgement. To all who are trying to over come I praise your efforts. There is no shame in adiction. The shame comes from not trying to stop.

Good Luck,
Tom "ex cig smoker, ex drinker, exit stage left;)

PS. To those who have never battled adiction your support is welcome.....your advice however holds little weight.
