Good for you!

Quote From: marcoblue

I am extremely proud of myself.  Something I never am.  I am always one to beat the crap out of myself, so this has really made me feel really good about myself.  I have cut back to one pack or less a day.  I haven't smoked in the house in two weeks with really is cool.  And I'm working my way up to quitting.  I am in all or nothing person and for me have discipline and practice when cravings come up is preparing me for when I actually do it.   

 

I have been almost if not sometimes a 2 pack a day smoker.  That is a hell of an accomplishement and it is working for me.  I also have the habit of chain smoking during certain situation and that's been an accomplishment.  I will sit and smoke for any reason, at any time, I always had an excuse.   

 

I never thought that I could ever quit, I mean ever, I didn't know how to live without cigarettes, how I could ever function.  And now I am gaining more confidence that I can actually quit.  I feel like I will be successful in doing so.   

 

I don't know if this will work for anyone else, everything has been at the right place at the right time in my life, but this is so cool and it is working for me.   

 

And I have been successful at cutting back this time, when I might make it a day or so.  Just having to go outside to smoke and most of the time not smoking in the car, has been such an accomplishment for me.  I am serious and committed about this.  It has made such a difference. 

 

This is just so cool and it is working for me at this time....I feel like I'm going to make it!! 

Hey Marcoblue; 

  

You are doing so well.  Keep at it.  Try to stay busy, hands and mind.  Everyone has his\her own way of quitting.  I was one of those who had a quit several times before I was successful.  My prayers are with you and take each day as it comes.  Post here often, other look to you for inspiration.  Don't sweat the small stuff and lots of luck.
