Hey everyone, I am on Day 9 and feeling fine! haha. Yesterday I wrote out my reasons que cards and put the smokers vow on one too and put it in my wallet. I have a question although I want to quit smoking and feel like I am doing the right think , I feel like its all in my head and not enough in my heart. I think one of the reasons for this might be that I am still a teenager, and nothing really bad has happened to me health wise with cigarettes or to anyone else I know. Yet I guess in a way my first reason isnt health its the control and guilt I feel when I smoke as opposed to anything else like money , kids etc. Its the mental side of it all. Anyone have any ideas how I can really feel deeply about this quit?

Ang, I think it takes time for some of us for the quit to sink into our hearts and souls. For me, it took several months of quitting and slipping before I really "got it." Now, I LOVE my quit! Don't get upset with yourself if you're not there yet... just don't smoke and eventually, you will be. Once you start to feel the freedom from not smoking, you will start to love your smoke free life! Just hang in there and it WILL happen. Crave the Quit!

ang, duffis wrote about being 17 and fighting in Korea. You know why wars are fought with young kids? They have little fear.. they tend to feel immortal. Bullet proof. Cancer proof. Heart disease proof. Emphysema proof. If wars were restricted to people over 50, we'd probably never have another one! They say that with age comes wisdom. Well, you are wise beyond your years because you have choosen to quit and take back control of your life. No, it doesn't surprise me a bit that you aren't worried about the effects of smoking. What teenager is? If you want to focus on "control" as a reason to quit, then go for it! The real benefit to yourself is that your health will get better! Should you decide to have children one day, you can do so knowing that when you kicked this addiction, you just improved the health of that unborn child! There are so many positives to quitting that I could go on and on. The bottom line is that you know it's the right thing to do for you. No matter what reason you use. So if you don't feel your quit is in your heart yet, don't sweat it! Your head is screwed on straight and that's what really matters. Remember that for every vice we pay a price. Somewhere, somehow, all vices take tolls. Be happy that you are quit now, before the price of the toll goes up. Keep on keepin' on! [b][color=Purple]Be Strong. Be Smart.

Hi Ang, I was speaking with a friend here at the office today about quitting smoking, and she told me a story about how one of her friends quit... you know those translucent filters? they look like the filters on cigars? well, apparantly he bought 25 of them (one for each cigarette in a pack) and used them at the end of each cigarette in the pack. When he quit, he just looked at all the junk in the filters that would have ended up in his lungs. Eww.

Wow. I remember being in Korea with all hell going on, bullets flying, mortar rounds falling on us. I remember being a very scared teen-ager (17) when a tough old marine gunny said to me "don't worry about it kid you'll never see the one that kills you". What does this have to do with smoking? You will never know which cigarette you smoked that killed you. Not today but down the road when things are going well in your life then bang bang bang lung cancer or worse. Is it worth is to smoke? Only you can determine that, it's your choice. Duffis duffis's Quit Stats Since Sunday, February 13, 2005, I've been smoke-free for: 362 Days, 19 Hours, 42 Minutes, 40 Seconds. I have saved $1,520.40 by not smoking 10884 cigarettes. By not smoking I have added 78 Days, 14 Hours, 24 Minutes, 14 seconds. to my life expectancy.

Number one thing you must realize ....users of nicotine are "addicts". do some research on nicotine addiction. No addiction is much stronger....beating this one is harder than beating heroin. Relapse, even after long periods of time happen often. you can NOT bargain with this addiction. There is NO smoking ONE....no just "having a puff".....the quit must be 'total' in order keep the addiction under control. since you haven't smoked for years and years, you can't come close to realizing what this addiction ends up like. I smoked for over 40 years...I would smoke 2 pks a day easily....way more if I was out socializing. running out of smokes was a crisis of "paramount" proportions!! Going places when smoking wasn't allowed was NOT on my list of things to do......SMOKING controled my days and nights....my comings and going revolved around feeding this addiction on a VERY demanding schedule. I was at the point of planning my [u]next[/u] 'fix' while taking the [u]current[/u] one. Talking to nicotine addicts of years may help you to 'see' just what lies in store for you if you continue to smoke?? visit some sites on lung cancer (helped along considerably by smoking) check out some pictures of the lungs of smokers?? See pictures of the ravages of cancer. I guarantee you if you watch a family member die of this, it WILL reach beyond just your 'mind'. I realize that it's hard for younger people to relate to smoking as much more than a 'social habit'....and one that seems pleasant enough at this time in your life.....boy is that EVER a Lie though. i know cause I been there and done that!!! if your heart never wraps around smoking be glad that at least your mind DOES. Stick with the quit....don't smoke....no matter what....make it 'not an option' katy [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/4/2002 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1498 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 59,945 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $8239 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 195 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
