    Re: New Non-Smokers Thread -

    Thank you Joy! I figure the tiny bit of sweetener in that piece of gum is going to just have to be ignored, lol. I do find myself a bit jumpy and cranky'ish. Here's hoping tomorrow is a bit easier! Work will keep me busy at least...

        72 hours Jas. Just do 72 hours.
        Awesome advice, which I'll be taking sometime in the next few hours when I have my last cigarette. That will be my mantra: 72 hours. 72 hours.

            Oh I just started reading this thread, I have the Allen Carr book, I just haven't read through it! Does it really work? I'm going to haul it back out and read it this weekend cover to cover.... I'm a closet smoker, only a few know and its so hard to keep that a secret, who knows, maybe it's really not a secret with the smell and everything else! UGh


            I hope by October 15, I can say, day 1 - I'm a non-smoker!

                I went and bought the book today and read it. I will read it again saturday and sunday. I know I will not be missing anything by being a non-smoker, except maybe shortness of breath, hacking, and the God awful smell. I cant wait, Im so excited. The book needs quiet time and not rushed, so I will reread this weekend to fully understand it. We will both quit because nicotine addiction is neither pleasureable nor does it bring any joy. We are better than the addiction. The book says to rejoice instead of panic but I need to reread lol. Im gonna read it until I understand it. This is my gift to me!!!!!

                  Yes, I know its time. I have quit in the past, for over 3 1/2 years! What a dope, it is a drug and addiction, I should have never had that one!

                  I did find my book.

                  We can do this. Should we say our quit date is Monday?

                    Just read the book and when you are done be done. I set no quit date when i read it. That was well over 2 years ago. One day i just sat down and read the whole thing, And walked outside to smoke my last cigarette and instead broke it in half and walked away forever from that nasty habit Allen Carr is a genius and set me free!!!
