I'm on the team too !! I quit once for less than a week 5 years ago with patches as they made me dizzy & sick I ripped it off & had a cigarette poor excuse but at that time I was in the 'I can justify smoking stage' .
Al last year I was getting a nagging feeling to stop smoking even though I still enjoyed it -itwas only a few days of the week not every cig or every day & smoking was getting to be a production get the Honeyrose herbal nicotine free mix to mix with normal loose tobacco roll 3/4's herbal to a pinch tobacco use extra large filter stab the filter & add 2 to 3 drops Nicbloc than when rolled & ready stick the cig in a targuard well this April I realised I was isck of smoking & I could no longer make excuses or justify my addictive habit, I went to Christy Turlington's website & within a few minutes I was in tears reading through I threw my full pouch of tobacco & all other smoking bits into the bin & that was IT for me 28 years of smoking & carrying on like a fool thinking that it really would never 'get me' the idiotic things I did to justify my habit/addiction was insane using my poor late Grandpa who died at 96yo & was a smoker but died not from anything related to smoking & my Sister-in-Law who as she lives in the USA 90% ofthe time smokes ''Natural Tobacco'' & has for 40 years -she always told me not to worry she's in perfect health.........I was hanging on to every excuse.
Well I threw them all out along with the cigs etc there is no excuse I do not wish to kill myself slowly anymore I want to live I love that I can walk up the hill where I live & take a big breath of the Hills Air & SMELL everything!!! not the old out of breath Simone but one who can actually breathe again......I won't lie I still crave nicotine I struggle but smoking again is not am option for me I have quit & I am an addict & know it so I chose not to smoke anymore to live longer & be free of a habit that used to rule my life can't go here , can't go there smoke free zones/NO SMOKING signs huddling in a corner with other smokers in the middle of a Movie!!, as I had to have that cig .............ohhhhhhhhhh how good it feels to be FREE!!!!!!!!.
I guess I will have my cravings like anyone that has an addiction & yes I liked smoking but not anymore, so I deal with the cravings every day & I keep telling myself the old mantra 'Never Take Another Puff' & I have not .

BTW:I don't think the typos matter, but you can edit them--just click on the "Edit" button, and then fix it and resubmit.
This is a Great thread! THanks, Melody, for saying what needed to be said.
And to everyone who is adding to it.
My first Rule when I quit: NEVER SMOKE WITHOUT POSTING FIRST. This meant forever, not just in the first few weeks or months. I still reread my Plan, which I wrote in it's entirety and posted on "Stacking the Odds in Your Favor" on the GettingQuit Forum. I recently posted it at FFS.
I'd like to be on the TEAM! Let's keep it going and help each other. _________________
