Hi Everyone,
I know this is off topic but...... I need some prayers . I need to quit
smoking . Im gonna try for Monday. This will be my second time . Last year I
went to the Drs and he said "Tamie, some people can smoke all their lives and
never really show any problems. You are not one of them!!!" I quit using the
patch the following Monday. I quit for 5 months and felt great. Then had an
arguement with my mom and let it go down the drain.(bad excuse , I know) Now
my chest hurts all the time and the cough is embarrasing. Im only 29 and
sound like 80!!!
Thanks Everyone
I would like to hear other peoples quitting stories , if there are any. I
think it will help to hear Im not the only one to screw it up after 5 months.

Tamie, you have my thoughts. When dh and I got together, he
was a 40-a-day man. Before we met, he'd worked in a situation
where they couldn't smoke in the store, so at breaks he'd have 5
in 15 minutes. Apparently one couldn't see across the smoking
room. He started coughing one morning, I told him he sounded
like my dad. He stopped. (well, he finished the packet first...) 9-
and-a-half years ago.

Here's a thought... take the money you would spend on cigs
(nearly said fags there...) and save it up, then treat yourself to a
splash-out shooping spree, or a meal out, or a party when u have
enough.

HI, I was just lurking, and caught this post.... and it touched me
because I missed out on my grandfather because of smoking. He died
shortly after I was born. There is one picture of him holding me and
that's it, all I have. My mom says he was such a nice man, I really
wish I had gotten to talk with him. <sigh>

Smoking will get you eventually. Quit so that you will be around to
hug your grandchildren.
