A letter of goodbye
Dear Cigs-
We have been together for so long. I remember taking my first hit of you….you made me cough, I should have known then that you were not a good friend. But as I took more and more of you, I wanted you around more and more. I remember making my first sacrifice for you jr. year in high school. I wanted to spend more time with you so I quit the swim team. I remember turning down a couple of road trips becuase the people going did not like you. I even gave up a couple potential loves for you. They did not like you or the way you made my breath smell. Even after I brushed my teeth, used mouth wash and gum…they could still smell you on me. You have been there with me through high school, through college and through most of my 20’s. It’s been an abusive relationship. I make sacrifices for you!!! I spend money on you!!! And what do you do for me????? Nothing good….you make me cough, you make me smell, you make it hard for me to run….I can’t be free when you are in my life. So cigs…I’m saying goodbye. I have given all that I can give. It’s time for me and my lungs to move on. Sure I will miss you, you have been in my life for over 12 yrs. But I know with time I will look back on our relationship as I do with any bad one and wonder why I wasted so much time on you. I will relesh you today, but come tomorrow morning you are gone, and you must never come back. I am tired of you hurting me. I love you, but I love me more.
Megan
p.s. Andreajacobs…I loved your comment on my last blog, I can’t seem to access yours. It freezes my computer when I go to your page, can’t send a message or a booster, don’t know why! But thank you for your kind and inspiring words.
p.s.s. Thank you everyone for the love and advice on my last blog. When a craving hits I am going to come back and read your kind words.

Dear Megan
I have to say that I knew it would come to this - I have felt for some time now that things haven’t been the same between us. You look at me differently - almost with disgust. You want to go and do other things, to run and swim and I realise that I can’t hold you back any more. So I release you. i know that you will miss me in those lonely and stressful moments and that is okay - maybe you could keep a picture of me close to you showing me the way you’ll always remember me - hand in hand with you at a great party. Those feelings will soon fade, the butterflies will disappear and in the future who knows maybe we’ll see each other again at a great party and you will look at me as though at a stranger - and I will know that you have moved on
Love to you - coff coff

Congratulations!! What a fantastic decision! Good luck with quitting!
EXCELLENT blog. A true inspiration. Also loved the “response” Nick ‘O Teen sent in reply. Best wishes.
Wonderful blog. Glad to see that you are seeing why they are so bad for you. I know you can do it. Lean on us, and we will be that “cig” your body thinks that you need!
FANTASTIC blog!!! Good luck.
Awesome! You can kick Nick to the curb. Nick and I parted ways in January and eventhough I still reach for the gum every once in a while its been good riddance to him!! You’ll feel better, smell better, taste better and look better… + all the money you’re saving! Excellent choice!!
Pretty awesome, girl ! I know u can do it cause u seem to really want it—and that is what it is gonna take—U GO !!!
Great blog!
I was thinking of your blog today. My mom and I were out and she was smoking in the car. Something happened and then she said she better not have told me what happened.
Well…she burned her new blouse/shirt! She said she smelled something that was like beer, then her shoulder felt funny and she started looking at it. Somehow her cigarette fire got up onto her shoulder (probably the window was down) and she ruined her blouse.
So quit smoking. You are losing weight, you don’t want to ruin your beautiful new wardrobe right?
yep and I am not allowing my mom to wear any of my clothes anymore!
Hey, first and foremost thanks for the shout out. Regretfully someone left me a booster note that gave me main page a virus that makes it hard for people to leave me notes or a booster. I appreciate the thought though. I am really proud of you. I also really like the letter. I think it is an awesome way to tell Nicotine to go away for good. Keep up the good work. And don’t let anyone or anything get in your way of the better you.
This is so very awesome! It’s been over 3 years since I have smoked. I started when I was 12 and quit when I was 24. SO sad. But, I am glad I quit and I KNOW you will be too!
Way to go..ur body will thank u!
LOL - I LOVE SHELLI’S ANSWER!!!
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you can do it Miss Thang!
I am so proud of you!!!
*hugs*
I just wanted to say you are so brave. i smoked for 2 years and gave it up cold turkey i know you can do it just believe in yourself good luck
Awesome!!! Congrats on making such a good decision and good luck to you.
keep us updated on what it’s like to be a non smoker. your in our thoughts.
I’m so happy to see that you have decided to do this for you. Since you are always so supportive of me, I’m here for you. It’s going to be tough but maybe you could print off this letter and read it whenever you feel the urge! Good Luck!!!
