Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you everyone who commented on my last blog. I can not even describe in words how much that touched me! Its so weird after writing that blog I felt like such a loser, that everyone would pass by it and be like omg what a pathetic girl having a pity party for herself!!! But the response was the opposite and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!
Butterflykiss & Andreajacobs, I tried to read your blogs and give you a booster note, but my computer won’t let me it just froze when it came to your page! I will try again tomorrow but if not, I wanted to say thank you so much!!!
Well buddies I started taking chantix today to quit smoking. I originaly set my date for August 1st, but by that time I may have another job and use that as an excuse so I figured not is as good of a time as any, so next wed. or thurs. I hope to be smoke free. Buddies, I don’t know if I am ready for this!! Smokes have been my bff along with food. If I feel akward in a social situation I turn to cigs….if I’m bored I turn to smokes….If i’m waking up I turn to smokes….if I am driving I turnk to smokes….lol you get the idea!!! But they are a WASTE of money that I do not have!!! If I decide to get serious about exercise they will stand in my way. They hold me back in places that I wish I could smoke. I know that the pro’s FAR outweigh the cons I just need to wrap my mind around this.
I think a small part of me is thinking of the ex, and when we hang out we smoke….Every wednesday we go out to dinner and smoke before and after, kinda like a little bonding experience…but he doesn’t want me anyways, so why am I holding on to these things that are killing me to try to hold on to what we had in a weird way??? I need to let both of them go. if its meant to be it will work out. I think I hold on to him because he is the easy way out. If I was with him I wouldn’t have to worry about money or going back to school or driving anywhere. I wouldn’t have to worry about being lonely. I wouldn’t have to worry about paying the bills. I would have a partner. But I know I deserve someone who truly wants to be with me.
I havn’t fully gotten back to the eating right and exercising, but I will buddies!!! I can promise you that! But thank you all for your support!!! It truly means the world to me.

I wanted to wish you great success with quitting smoking. I have tried and tried and like you it is my best friend almost. I enjoy it. IT SUCKS..
So I hope you can kick that beast in the behind and then by my HUGE inspiration..
By the way when I stopped smoking for three weeks ( when I started this new lifestyle change) I worked out everytime I wanted a smoke.. Push ups sit ups lunges weights running. it really helped.. Great advice from a smoker haha..
Just like to say that 7 years ago I gave up smoking, it was difficult and after many tries I managed it. I loved smoking and the worse thing was the routine of the habit not the actual cigarettes. Keep busy and you will do great
If you use exercise as a distraction you are in a win win situation. Also, with all the money you save you will need new clothes from all that exercise. Not only will you look great, you’ll feel great too. I wish you good luck xx
I quit smoking 8.5 months ago cold turkey after being a 2 pack a day dedicated smoker for 21 years. Stay strong and keep believing in yourself, you can do this :).

I did my best to help my boyfriend quit smoking (not much I could do but be supportive!), so I know it is hard, from watching him go through it. But I also think you can do it!
I quit smoking about 6 years ago. The best feeling was that of being able to leave the house without making sure I had cigs and a liter. It’s funny how such a little thing could be such a huge load off….lol No more scrambling around looking to make sure I had ‘enough’ or having to stop at the store to get an extra pack to see me through……… The worst thing is how even tho it’s been so long, I still have the urge on occasion. There are things I don’t do anymore because I associate them with smoking. Like sitting out on the porch swing and just looking out at the view (because that’s where I did most of my smoking) But mostly it’s all good. In fact I’m offended at the horrible smell of someone I pass in the street that reeks of old tobacco. Or someones house… and of course I’m much healthier. Blood pressure went way down and my breath is much nicer.
Good luck to you.
It is hard to know when to let go of certain things, but I guess the key is to become still and not overthink things. Find the courage and the answers and abiltiy to move Become. All the best.
Take care of you! *hugs*
