[QUOTE="april1974, post: 435972, member: 12128"] Shelly- You can do this! I smoked for 17yrs and I LOVED my ciggy's, but Jan 3 2005 I quite smoking, we were undergoing ivf in the spring and I knew I had to give them up(I quit also with my pg 20yrs ago with daughter too, but resumed smoking when she was about 5months old) my #1 tip is mind over matter, smoking is an addiction but it is also a choice and after a few days the nicotine is out of your body and simply a mind game, I took up crocheting when I quit(I can't crochet anything but a long line of nothing, but it gave my hands something to do) the hardest part for me was that feeling of bringing my hand to my mouth with my ciggy, I had to retrain my brain to do something else. quiting was the hardest but most rewarding thing I have ever done & now I despise it(good thing too) I hate the smell, the look, I find it repulsive now! that was me doing self talk when I quit, I would say "Smoking stinks, smoking causes lung cancer, smoking is gross, smoking is xxx......." this self talk really really helped me. You can do, I'm here if you need any advice etc...it does get easier, the cravings DO get less & less....I rarely want a smoke, usually the craving passes and most times it's the opposite of a craving since I find it disgusting now, I don't like to be around it. good for you making the choice to quit!
