Hi Maryann,

I can really relate to the feelings you are having. I smoked for 43 years. Was up to 2 packs a day.

I am a firm believer that no one can convince another person to quit. For years family members and friends have been after me to quit. Just the THOUGHT of quitting would send me into a panic! I was afraid that I would fail.

Then one day I asked myself what I was afraid of. If I failed, I could just go back to smoking. So I threw the rest of the last pack in the trash sack in my car and haven't smoked since. (They are still in my car)
I have gone cold turkey, which is hard. But I wanted to be totally nicotene free. The only problems I have had are with weight gain and mood swings, which I am working on now.

You WILL quit smoking when you are sick and tired of it and REALLY WANT TO.

I believe that. Good Luck!!
