Hoping not to Jinx!!

Janet · 09-08-2007, 12:50 PM

As of last Thursday evening (Aug. 30th), I've been smoke free. That's 9 days so far!!!

I tried with some of the others on YT and used the Chantix pills that worked great for my husband. The pill just made me so sick to my tummy that I had to quit taking them. I still had some patches left so I started on them and they seem to be doing great so far. Oh there have been times here the last few days that I wanted to sneak one soooo bad, but I don't really want to and I keep telling myself that first drag will make me dizzy and sick to my stomach. Plus, I'd have to go buy some, there aren't any here to sneak. So for nine days now my friends....I haven't had one lousy puff. YEAH!!! for me!!

Anyone have a BudLight handy????...LOL

AngieDoogles · 09-08-2007, 12:52 PM

You go Janet!!! I'm so proud of you! Keep it up, I know you can do it!

Mandy · 09-08-2007, 12:58 PM

You can do it Janet, WTG girl

Ok... a BudLight is a beer right? I'll be happy to share one with you, but NO smoke

DianaB · 09-08-2007, 07:40 PM

Janet, I'm so proud of you!!!!

I know in the past that you've talked about quiting and now you've gone 9 days!!! That's teriffic!!!!

We're here to give you all of the encouragement that you need!!!!

Tink · 09-08-2007, 08:24 PM

Janet, that is wondermous!
Being a smoker myself, I KNOW how hard it is. I made it 4 months once and went back like I'd never stopped. I'm praying you'll be strong and beat it this time. Then you can be MY inspiration!

I too am SO proud of you! Way to go lady!

that first week is a pita!

Janet · 09-09-2007, 02:36 AM

Thanks all for the encouragement. Not to just be 'blowing smoke', but I really think I'm gonna make it this time. For one thing, the thought of taking that first puff and getting dizzy, really makes me sick to my stomach. Another thing is I don't want to disappoint my son. AND another reason, my lungs or I think it's my lungs, hurt sometimes. So, I don't want those darn things any more.

I didn't know you smoked Tink. Don't you wish you could go back in time and not strart? I wish that all the time. I really think I can stop this time, but hey, we all know...at least us smokers know that it wouldn't take much to light one up. I'll keep using the patch and take one day at a time.

goofywife · 09-10-2007, 07:09 AM

You go girl!!! I am all for it. The more people in the world that quit smokig the better it is for people like me.

I have chronic bronchitis and just passing by someone smoking can set things off.

Janet · 09-15-2007, 03:19 AM

15 days smoke free ladies. I think I'm doing really good. I don't think about it very often any more, so I hope it stays that way. I know it's still early yet, but still, the THOUGHT of just taking a puff still makes be sick to my stomach.

Mandy · 09-15-2007, 11:42 AM

Wonderful wonderful!!!!!!!

You passed the first 10 days with flying colors, i'm PROUD of you!! They say the first 10 days are very difficult. WTG girl

I've heard that too Mandy. It really is scary to even think about taking a puff again. It's either my upper back or my lungs that ache. I wish I had never started that horrible habit. I'm so mad at me and the habit that I pray it keeps me from wanting another cigarette.

Gina · 09-15-2007, 06:19 PM

Janet way to go!! You can do it girl, I quit smoking 27 yrs. ago and I never went back. Matter of fact I hate it now and cannot be around it... Great willpower, YOU CAN DO IT GIRLFRIEND! yaaaaaaaaaa

Tink · 09-15-2007, 08:37 PM

Janet, I am SO thrilled for you!
You're doing so well and during a stressful time.
I have every faith you're now a non smoker for life.

Well done hon!

for you!

DianaB · 09-17-2007, 08:57 AM

Janet, I'm so proud of you!!!!! Smoking is a very hard habit to break and I'm glad that you've taken the steps to quit!!!! You CAN do it!!!!! We're here if you need us!!!!!!

AngieDoogles · 09-17-2007, 12:28 PM

Way to go Janet! I'm so proud of you!!! It shows a lot of willpower and determination to be able to stop like you did. How many days is it now??

judy · 09-21-2007, 05:06 PM

Still not smoking? You can do it Janet. If I did it, anybody can!
