encouragement quitting Posted: 01-27-08 11:57am
I have been a smoker for 40 years and
started because I thought I would be cool.
Well, I wasn't cool, I just stunk.
My friend and I thought we were bad to the
bone because we were the only girls in our
sophomore class in high school to smoke.
Little did I know that we were the only
ones who stunk. Ha
Anyway, I am trying after all those years
to quit with the aid of the newest pill
that has been toted as the best in the
country now. I believe it is the best,
because I do not crave as bad a I thought
I would even though I didn't want to quit
when I first started taking them 3 weeks
ago.
I still want a cigarette and only smoke a
couple a day and want to smoke none.
Please give me a word of encourgement to
help me answer my daughters prayers and to
stop becoming a slave to nicotine.
Thanks, Fran

You can do it. Nicotine is the most
difficult drug to overcome, so if you can
do this...you can do anything!

I'm going to give it the best shot that I
can. I have never tried to quit before. I
was just too hard headed.
Now I have my daughter praying for me. You
sure don't want to get the kids started
praying. All kinds of things happen.

LOL. Nice one, Fran.
How many days or hours has it been?
Are you still on a couple a day?
How large has your habit been?
You might want to also dose up with
Coenzyme Q10 CoQ12 or (just CoQ12) which
is a powerful antioxidant and may help
neutralise the damage-causing free
radicals you've been inhaling for so long
(all those additives!) Plus, a bronchial
expectorant can also help get the
remaining crap out of your lungs. Look
for one from a reputable brand, preferable
with essential oils. And spend the money
for something good! You must invest in
your health!

I wrote your info down so I can get them
next time I'm in town. Hopefully it will
make me feel better too.
Is it normal to have the shakes a lot?

Keep it up. I know its hard, but think
about how proud you will be and how proud
your kids will be too. You can kick it, I
know it!
