i need to quit smoking

       One thing I have really changed my opinion about is smoking cigarettes. I started smoking when I was around 14 or 15 years old. I started smoking because I thought it was cool when I was younger. Now my opinion has really changed, and I don't think its cool anymore. This change took a long time to happen, and is still a work in progress. I still smoke cigarettes every day, but I have managed to cut back a lot. I used to smoke a pack a day or more. Now I usually smoke about a pack every two days or so. I have been trying to quit for a while, and have tried almost everything to help you quit. I want to try chantix, which is a prescription pill that is supposed to really help people quit. I have asked my doctor for it when i was still in the military, and he made me try some other pill first that didn't work. He said he couldn't give me chantix until i've tried the other one first, and it don't work. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things i have ever tried to do. I'm still trying, and next time i see my doctor I'm gonna ask for chantix again. Hopefully I get it, and it works. If not I guess I'll have to do it on my own. I wanna keep cutting back more and more until I don't need them anymore. I think that might work. Whatever I do I gotta quit smoking, and I need to do it soon.

  2. Good best wishes on your effort to quit smoking. I've been trying to stop as well. I'm getting there but its tough. You would think I'd stop after my dad passed away from lung cancer 2 yrs ago. Like you though, it's tough, i'm taking it one day @ a time, & smoking one less cigarette a day. Good luck.

  7. Smoking is so hard to quit specially when ur costantly surrounded,everywhere u go there is someone smoking.Just keep yourself busy dont allow yourself time to smoke try and stay away from it,when u think about it do something else.With hard work and determination you will stop smoking.Give yourself a reason to stop and push yourself you can do it man.

  9. i know a few people who've tried to quit, like one day they'll be all pumped up and into it, and by that evening they would have already given up and puffing away. It's a challenge, but you can do!!!!
