This is my last pack of cigs.... it's time to quit...I'm mentally geared up for it....and I'm paying $10/pack
 
the past couple of times I've been in the hospital I've had to go on oxygen because my Sats are so low....so I've been gearing myself up mentally and decided that now is the time
 
please keep me in your prayers and good thoughts... I have the patch... and baby carrots...LOL... but I'm worried that it will trigger my anxiety issues.... I know... worrying will trigger them...LOL... but I'm trying to stay upbeat and positive about it
 
on another note..... my beloved son wrecked my car.... he's fine but my little red beast is a write off.... insurance is giving me 1100 for it... but in my financial situation...1100 isn't going to buy me much of a car... but I'll find something.... I have faith
 
that's another thing that's newsworthy... I've gone back to the faith of my youth... I finally realized that doing things on my own wasn't working out for me too well....so I've put my whole life in God's hands.... it's making life so much easier to deal with.....
 
I'm being positive about everything now... it's just amazing... I'm not going to try to get off my meds though... maybe someday... but not now...
 
but that's the news of the day....

Good luck with getting off the cigarettes, Carol.  I KNOW you can do it!!!  At least now they have the patch, and other helpful things.  Just think of what you can buy with all the money you will save now....lol.  Take that money and put it aside and buy yourself something special when you are totally off the ciggies.  Sure it will be a diamond necklace, at least....lol.
 
Sorry to hear about your car though....but glad your son is fine!  That's the most important thing.  Hope you can find a good car soon.
 
Don't worry about being on meds....whatever it takes to allow you to live a 'normal' life...that's what is important.  Hope things go well for you, Carol.....please let us know how you are doing.
Hugz,
Dee

I quit about 30 years ago, before they had the patches or the gum.  If you want, I'll be glad to give you some advice.  Otherwise, good luck, hon.  You'll be in my prayers.  It's a very difficult thing to do.  Tobacco is very adictive and the activities you associate with the lighting up of a cigarette will trigger the urge in you. 
 
Hugs and lots of love,
 
Dan

Congratulations!  That's a big step, and I'm sure that you'll get through it. 
 
Everyone is different.  I'm just glad that I didn't start smoking.  I have a great deal of respect for those that quit.
 
I'm just trying to stop drinking diet coke, and I'm finding that a challenge.

Carol, how is the quitting smoking going?
I am glad you have decided to do this, and wish you luck. it is hard, but you are a strong woman.
You're in my thoughts and prayers.
