I wanted to start a support thread for all of us who want to quit smoking. It's early morning, and boy, I want to smoke...it's a really powerful addiction. I just got out of the hospital with a really severe bleeding ulcer, yet I still want to smoke. Crazy. I know the craving will pass, it's just a real pain while it's happening.

Congrats to all of you. I was a smoker for 17 years. Have been a non smoker for 9 months and 24 days. The blue e-cig was very helpful pre-op. My husband still smokes (trying to quite). So will power is needed! The urges do decrease and it does get better!!

You CAN do this!!!!!!

We can do this! If we can change our eating habits' date=' we can quit smoking. Not worth an ulcer....trying to do a bowel prep right now before a colonoscopy.....bleeding very badly...nothing is worth this! I refuse to listen to the addiction that tells me, " one more is ok,". That's how I got fat! It never stops at one more, and the sooner I come out of denial and believe this, the sooner I can get well.[/quote']

I hope you feel better soon. You are absolutely right. "Just one more" is how we got fat!!!! We can do this...we need to do this...you need to do this, especially in your condition!!! Cigarettes are bad!!! We are stronger than a Stupid addiction :-)

Wow, great job! Ya think you'll make it smoke free for the rest of the day? I'm keeping my fingers crossed you will, because sleep is soooo much better

I suggest you watch a movie and have nice bath after. When you smell all good and your hair is fresh you are less likely to smoke... At least that was my tactics. Don't give in!
