smoking, cigarettes that is

[sahjimira]

Hi ya all. I'm quitting smoking here soon. Going thru a program here in Florida. Just wanted to know if I can have this fforum as part of my support. I've quit before cold turkey... ah..no not again! I feel the Holy Spirit convicting me on this one and I kknow I can't do it alone. I'm doing what they call a "mini-quit" which is cutting back on smokes until the patches and gum get here. It's hard even doing this! Freaks me out now just thinking of no tobacco at all. Trying not to go there but the thought keeps popping up. Who knows the patches and gum might help. Also I need to keep sensitive to the Holy Spirit above all. Thanks for your ear, appreciate it

Hi sahjimira. I'm happy to support you. I had my last cigarette on 12th Feb 2015. The first few weeks are always the hardest. I went cold turkey but I also cut out the people and places in my life that I associated with the habit. Drastic I know but I was suffering chronic chest pains and extreme shortness of breath. Nearly a year later and I feel so much healthier. If you need to vent then I'm here. God Bless and I will pray for you.

I used patches and gave up just over a year ago. Tried cold turkey many times but failed.

Good luck Sahjimira!

Congrats! I will be here to respond with support. I quit by using an e cig taper. Got off the e cig and was clean for a year, then relapsed a few times thinking I could be a social smoker. I went off cold turkey in the end. It has been almost a year and a half. I still think about them on rare occasion but I have learned my lesson and won't go back. Congrats again and good luck!
