Do it for YOURSELF, do it YOUR way. Take advice that is good for YOU. Never give up.

Nobody ever died from quitting smoking. It's tough but it's do-able. You won't believe any of us until you do it for yourself. And then see how great it feels.

Never give up!! If you think you want a cigarette say I will not smoke for the next minute. CONTINUE AS NEEDED, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! STAY STRONG!!!!

Pledge Daily: Take the hand of other members, pledge not to smoke for just that day, and make it smoke-free, one day at a time!

I've found the daily pledge and any other non-smoking slogans very helpful.

Each and every day- PLEDGE- promise yourself...ONE DAY AT A TIME- JUST TODAY!!

Know your enemy (cigarette) for what it is, and have no fear! Look your enemy in the eye and know him for death. He offers nothing in return. You gotta wanna!

Join the pledges and tell yourself, "I will not smoke today." Find a buddy, or several, and stick to the Q. NOT ONE PUFF EVER! (N.O.P.E.)

Just do it! Don't wait 44 years like I did.

Stay with the Q!
Make Q buddies.
Check the forums as often as possible, and post support for others, because it helps you stay quit!
Don't give up on yourself!

You can't quit because someone tells you to. You have to quit for yourself and no one else. If you don't want to quit, you won't, plain and simple.

Cigarettes deliver nicotine, and that addition is easy to break. Poisoning your body, smelly hair, wasting money? You can totally stop this!! I did.

Each time you want a cigarette, ask yourself a question.... what do you love more, your family and yourself, or the cigarettes?

Smoking really DOES NOT do for me what I thought it did - smoking actually does the opposite! It takes away- it doesn't give me ANYTHING!!

Just do it- you can learn to like it later! And you will. Cold turkey, patches, whatever works for you. Your most important choice, ever, is simply to not smoke.

It may seem silly at first, but write a 'goodbye old cigarette' letter and keep it on you.
It really helps to say so long and farewell - I want to live!

Baby steps! Take one day at a time, one craving at a time. Don't focus on what lies ahead, that will make you crazy. Baby steps!

If you can just make it through one craving at a time, you too can Keep The Quit!

Warning... coping by smoking will not help you resolve your problems. You'll just create a new one along with everything else.

I remind myself that my kids might someday have to ask someone else what I was like. Yup, the craving goes right away.

Quitting smoking is not just overcoming the urge to smoke... it's taking back control of your life, and embracing a much healthier one.

Repeat: "This too..shall pass."
Pray your butt off to God !!!
Don't let yourself get 'all worked up.'
~ REPLACE YOUR HABIT !!!
Find someone who inspires you (Barb Tarbox).

What can I say? Take it one step at a time. There's no other way to make the journey than to put one foot forward and press on.

Gather all the information and resources you can. The Q is such a life-saver. Stay close and read and post as much as you can. You can do this!

YOU CAN DO THIS. You just have to do it, and we will be with you every step of the way. See you there!!

It's a hard step to make, I can't say it will be easy to go through, but with support from your family, friends & places like QuitNet anyone can quit.

Share- Post- Eat pretzels - Breathe
Know that a sickarette is not going to make any situation better.

If you've quit and 'failed' it's not a failure because you've TRIED. And you've learned something. Quitting is about practicing quitting until you get it.

Don't be afraid! Of peer pressue, of failure... of anything! Practice does make perfect! As long as you are serious about quitting, you will. You just have to really want to.

Find your reason to quit and quit for that reason only. For me, that reason was the expected birth of my 2nd child.

It's a hard step to make, I can't say it will be easy to go through, but with support from your family, friends & places like QuitNet anyone can quit.

To my fellow EX-smokers, if you're worried about gaining weight - DON'T! You can always lose weight, but you can't lose lung cancer.

And from me:  If you want to make big changes in your life, don’t expect results overnight. It takes a while for those changes to become a habit, and then to become second nature.
