2 days quit - Smoking Cessation Message Board

bevann26 · 02-20-2008, 06:57 AM

i am just letting you all know that i am at the beginning of another quit. i am using commit losenges, only about 6 a day i've needed so far.i have no energy level at all, and fall aseep early at nite. maybe from boredom, i don't know? i am also physically disabled which does'nt help the boredom.
i've had copd for 13 yrs., i am also a diabetic...those alone are 2 good reasons to quit! well, i am 58 yrs old and have smoked for 43 yrs....i know i've been pushing my luck that nothing else has happened to me medically.
here's to all of us that are definitely never going to p/up a butt again!!
any helpful tips at this stage of my quit would be more than welcoming!

confession.....it was a bad pain day(i know, no excuses), anyway i had 2 of hubby's cigs. will try harder today! keep going sharon, i know we can do this but it is such a struggle. i wish i had never started smoking, but all my friends smoked in the 60's and i had to, of course, join them! also back then, i don't remember any warnings about smoking, i never thought of what the future would bring....so here i am trying to quit at 58, after smoking for 43 yrs.!
i really don't want to smoke, i need to be stronger today..best of luck to everyone!......bevann
