Smoking Addiction & Recovery Support Group
The CDC claims that nicotine is a "very addictive drug" that can be "as addictive as heroin or cocaine."

Hey I am new to this group but not to DS. Last sunday I had had enough took my last cigarette and smoked it. So far so good. Not that I haven't wanted one. But haven't bought any. Found a whole one today in my car but stuck it in a cup of coffee. I have all the goodies. Chantix, Nicorette, and stuff. But I want to do this alone. I want to do this for me. Yes os like I told my Dr. I was coughing and shit from the pollen and had to take the inhaler alot but that is not the only reason. God knows I would still love to inhale a big puff right now. But i want to do this for me. Walked into the gas station today beside my job and smelled the smoke and boy did it stink. One of the main reasons os for my girls. I want to give them a few more years. Want to give them more time and energy. Trying to get my life back. Lots more reasons. But all things I have to prove to myself. Thanks for letting me rant...........

I'm with you I quit for a year and started back. Stupid me. I've been thinking about quitting again and as you know I also have emphysema and I just can't seem to do it. I need to do it for me not everyone else. I need a huge support group for this one. I remember when I quit I couldn't stand the smell either, it was nasty. At least I'm thinking hard on it. Congrads to everyone who has quit and good luck to you all.
