attention all smokers
i wanna swing from trees
i wanna do backhandsprings
i want to teach my daughter how to do these things
and teach her how to throw a curveball
how to spike a volleyball
bump, set, spike
and serve
i want to teach her the cheers
and give her my cheerleading uniform
to teach her to skate
and dance on her toes
triple axle
pike jump
i cant stop smoking
and its killing me
and it will take me away from my baby girl
she tells me everyday
" mom, if you dont stop snoking you will die"
she is three
and she is smarter than I

quit.
(i'm so ballsy today. it's almost like i'm not a smoker and i haven't tried to quit at least half a dozen times...meh)
i wanna quit, but(here comes my great excuse) whenever i get stressed out and start to go into panic attack mode the only thing that calms me down is a smoke.
you smoke?
If I can quit, anyone can. The smell is what finally did me in. Couldn't stand the way I smelled anymore.
I quit and restarted many times, but like you it was my daughter that made me stop for good. She said exactly the same thing. It was something like, "Daddy I love you and I'd die if you died. Please stop smoking." That was pretty much it. Occasionaly I still lapse and have a couple, but I don't see that as failing I just try and forget it and not have another. Even if you don't completely give up 5 a month is better than 20 a day.
i think my daughter and the smell are whats gonna do it for me. i work in a smoke free environment and i know i stink when i get back in from break.
wbb, how can you have just one after quitting? that would drive me nuts. after my daughter was born i didnt smoke for 7 days then i got out of the hospital and had one. i reaked! but i continued to smoke and i cant stop. i probably could stop but im scared of the weight gain and the crabbiness.
My boyfriend has been almost smoke-free for a year (October 13th!), I say almost because on the rare occasions that I drink, once every two months or so, he gets to have a vice-for-a-vice cigarette or two. He really had to change patterns to quit though, when stressed he couldn't go for a drive because he would want to smoke. It wasn't easy though and he still gets crabby, but he got sick of me telling him how much he reeked. I wish you the best of luck, I don't know what it feels like to be addicted, but I do know that it's nice not to be, so I send you best wishes...
i don't smoke, so any advise i would have to offer would be pointless. of course it would be easy for me to say 'quit', being as i don't know what being a smoker is like. good luck!
hope you dont' mind, but using this post of yours to highlight you over at blogsbywomen.blogspot.com
and ... quit ... just stop. you can do it!! :)
i agree with sandra. i have never smoked, so it`s easy for me to say "quit". however, i`m sure there are health institutions nearby where they can help you to quit. i think you are ready for it, since you know the importance of quitting. good luck!
I quit for two years once by twirling a baton instead of lighting up whenever I had the urge. $2 at a toy store.
I started smoking more than a pack a day when I was twelve and now I only smoke one if I have a drink or if I get really pissed off, so a pack lasts me on average a month or more and I keep them in the freezer where they stay fresh.
HAving the odd one is usually preceded by 6 or so beers, and that's when my self control goes out the window.
You're right about the smell too.
i am so going out to buy a baton!
great! it really did the trick for me, and I got addicted to it - brought that thing with me everywhere, shopping for groceries, school, work, parties - it got out of hand when I started doing it out of car windows when my friends were driving, I dropped it a few times and made them go back and get it.
i quit and restart all the time.
my problem is that i smoke when i drink- and this past summer i've gone out with friends/mark/family two or three times a week and i chainsmoke like a disgusting pig when i have a drink in my hand.
so basically i need to quit drinking.
nah wait....that's just crazy talk.
You know it's been over a month since I quit, cold turkey. I notice that I'm not stuffing my face like I was when I first started. Maybe I am and am just not noticing it. It's all in your head...amongst other things/voices.
Great story you got here. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this matter. Thnx for sharing this information.
