My reasons to stop.

[nsd_user663_56750]

I'm going to be free again and defeat this drug. I'm currently reading allen carr's book, I think im going to stay awake the whole night and read it throughout because I dont want to wake up another day as a smoker.

I have been on this forum a few times before. The longest I have quit is 1 month and a week. I'm only 22 and I know that I need to quit now I hear people tell me that im so young I should give it up but I have always found it so hard. I've smoked since I was 15 and in the last few years its taken over my life. I smoke when im down and I smoke when im bored and I love a cigarette when im happy. I think people are shocked when I tell them how badly addicted I am for my age and how many years I have been smoking.

I don't even smoke that much I usually smoke 10 aday sometimes 20.

I've made so many breakthrough's with my life recently overcome some struggles and now I want to quit this forever. I hate waking up everyday wanting a cigarette and then when I can't have them im miserable and im still miserable when I do have them. I want this whole thing out of my life. I really believe it changes the way I am. This year ive had 2 days here and there where I have quit and I feel so much better and think better but the cravings I give into.

I've done some really embarrising things when I have run out of money I will go to the shops with 1 and 2ps. The money side of it I'm stuggling also with money I dont earn that much but with every penny I get I end up buying cigarettes. I tell myself everyday this will be the last packet yet the next day I wake up and go and buy some more. Everyday Is I'll quit tomorrow. Then when I do have a serious quit and last for 2 days I persude myself In my head that I've picked the wrong time and Ill smoke 1 more pack and then start again tomorrow. There are 101 reasons I want to stop.

I just want my life back and I will have it back.

I've learnt that whether u think you can or you can't... your right.

I'm going to stick to this forum this time round and post every single day and also post any tips I find useful.

90% there

Rock believe it or not your 90% there, please please get that mind set out of your head that 'i cant do it' 'im to addicted' 'it always beats me'.

Trust me there was nobody more addicted than me, smoking addiction is mostly in the head and if you set your body and mind to it you can (as a human) achieve anything in this world. Please please please just take every second,minute,hour and day at a time and everybody on here will tell you that the passing of every second that horrible monster is getting weaker and your getting stronger. The truth now im on to my fourth month and my life has changed so much and trust me those smelly fags dont even enter my mind anymore.

Please Just do me 1 favor and, read all of my posts from the start of my quit, and oh yes welcome aboard......................there are so many amazing people on here without this forum, at the start i seriously think i would still be a stunky depressed smoker...............THANKS GUYS XXXXXXXXXXXXXX :D:D:D
