Yes, I quit.
It was not by any strength of my own. In church at, Grace Tabernacle I sensed God urging me to surrender the cigarettes. I handed them to a Pastor, and there was no craving after that, I was "done with it"... thanks for asking. Kitty |

Way to go Kitty! I've never smoked but I know it couldn't have been easy to quit. Keep up the good work!

Give yourself a huge pat on the back for quitting! Stay strong and don't give into temptation to smoke. Its a temporary urge and passes quickly.

I quit in 1992. I was attending a meeting at a friend's house. As soon as I walked in he said "you really should quit smoking. My mother has emphysema, and it is heartbreaking watching her struggle to breathe" to which I replied " how do you know I smoke? You never saw me with a cigarette". And he then told me it was obvious as soon as I walked in his house. I quit the next day. I didn't want to be infringing on other people's space with such an obvious smell.
The addiction caused me to make bad decisions, to not care about other people. There are many things in our lives we do not have control over, and so I decided to take back this part of my life. I had tried many times before, but this time I succeeded. I hallucinated, I yelled at my family, I screamed at a toll taker, and then apologized telling him I had just quit smoking. Everyone was very supportive and endured until the cravings eventually subsided. Stay busy, exercise, go to very long meetings and clubs that are fun and you know you can't smoke. I am so grateful to not be a smoker. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! |

To those that want to quit, keep trying .....maybe next time it will stick! __________________ I have to be myself, everyone else is taken.
