26years of smoking is enough - Smoking Cessation Message Board

Hey all

I have been smoking for 26 years and am weening myself off cigarettes.
I am a two pack a day smoker.
I started with 10 a day for two weeks.
Then 5 a day for two weeks.
Then 3 a day for a week.
Now two a day for a week.
Tomorrow I am going to try to quit altogether.
It is going to be very hard but I really want to do it.I think that's the key.
Another key ,I think,is to not use any excuse to start smoking again.There will always be something you can blame it on.
Wish me luck.
Mike

YOU CAN DO IT MIKE!!!!!!

As most of us here tend to say, "If I could do it, anyone can do it!"
Think positive thoughts, be of strong mind, IE; "I HATE cigarettes!", exercise, keep busy, real busy, and try to stay relaxed these first few weeks. Think of how every pack not bought, is a gallon and a half of gas!!

...and your lungs will love you!!
