Hi everyone,
I'm 28 and I've managed to go for 6 weeks without smoking. It all started at 16 or maybe that's when I started actively chopping at that old life force. Someone said to me you've been carrying a lot around by yourself and come far but there's that point where you gotta share the load to keep going. I thought that to really stop I would have to withdraw from my freinds and fun things but maybe it is support from others that would have made a difference all those other times I tried to quit. It's the hardest thing to do for me but I think I could be me still and ask for help and support.
United in the struggle!

Re: Merry-go-round
Tue, September 27, 2005 - 3:47 AMI had quit during another turbulent time in my life. I thought it would be hard to go out to the bar and drink with friends. It was for a little bit at first, but got easier. Luckily, my state had put into effect an anti-smoking law where people couldn't smoke inside bars & other public places. That worked in my favor when I quit smoking.
As long as you keep from smoking in the first few weeks, you should be fine. -

Re: Merry-go-round
Tue, September 27, 2005 - 8:21 AMI'm quitting during one of the most difficult times I've had in a long time. It sucks, but it's doable. Strangely enough, I think the drama was so overwhelming it kind of eclipsed everything else and made it easier to not think about smoking. Through asking a friend for help and support, I'm coming out of the drama- here's hoping the cravings stay away as I return to normalcy.
We can do it. Redundant or not, I'm going to end every damn post that way, because we can.
