So, Anke, I haven't heard the update in a while. Are you still off the cigarettes?

Nosy little guy arent you?

Just looking to give some atta-girls if so.

Anke, here's your in anticipation of a positive response.

hehehe, Tuesday will be 6 weeks! I'm gonna stop counting the weeks now, just months...

Also haven't smoked doobie in 4 days... not that hard!!!

Thanks Trops

6 Weeks is great. I think you are officially a non smoker now.

Great Job!!!

i need to quit for many reasons. health is the first and main reason.i have no will power to quit and stress isnt helping eahter. advise anyone ?

You say you have no willpower to quit, but do you WANT to quit?

That's what will eventually work for you. Knowing, really knowing you do not want to smoke. You won't stop until you're ready, in my opinion.

I'd say to get ready quicker, cutting down never hurts as a first step... another I did was start rolling my own... such a hassle that I ended up smoking less, plus the cigarettes were stronger and therefore I smoked less too...

Good luck!

Well, this past Tuesday (9 Sep) was my official 8 weeks of no smoking.

The 15th of Sep will be the actual date of 2 months later. Yay!!!

Now for the green stuff... Monday is always a good day to start

way the go Anke!!! i personally know how hard it can be and know what you are going through with quitting. for me, it never gets easier and you have to deal with the cravings and seeing other people smoke daily, but this too diminishes with time. today in one of my lectures i sat beside this girl that just reeked of cigs, and i was so appaled by the smell. all the best to ya and keep up the great work

Phenomenal job, It has been 4 weeks for me and it's going well so far.

YOU CAN DO IT!

I loved to smoke and gave it up when my wife became preggo with our son. It's a mental thing. Remember that.

i was addicted to smoking in 8th grade...

i was in good shape and quit the habit before i could see any real health effects. like i was getting winded easier, but i wasnt coughing or anything. i was a heavy smoker for about months and it took a month to quit. my case wasnt that bad time wise, but age wise it was stupid and retarded. i know how hard it is to quit even when the addiction isnt too bad yet, but i do know that everybody can do it.
