MO_Sugar Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Today it has been 10 months since I started chemo and quit smoking! I wasn't sure I could quit for 10 minutes when I did it! I have to say it was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I pray for strength for those who have not yet been able to quit and for those who have quit that they don't start again! God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Congratulations! Be sure to celebrate! I quit in 1982 and I always used to say that it was the hardest thing I ever did...but I was wrong because THIS (going through lung cancer and its treatment) is the hardest thing I have ever done. Living in California makes it easier to live smoke-free...we are fanatical about NO smoking. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayleMarie Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 MO, It IS hard to quit. I quit 11 years ago and you know what? I dont have a desire to ever smoke again. That is the truth.

Carolyn Flournoy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Mo...You can be really proud of yourself. Staying away from cigarettes while under any stress is so hard.

Eileen Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Great Mo!!! Being a former quitter, smoker, quitter, smoker and now quitter, I know how hard it is---the trick is not to even try one (which I did 10 months after surgery---just to see how it tasted--bad move on my part) It is so hard not to smoke---and you managed to quit !!! You have a reason to be proud!!!!!! best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimblanchard Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Congratulations, Mo! Those of us who never smoked can't really appreciate how difficult it is...my mom quit after having a heart attack. The ER doc that was working on her asked if she smoked, and she say "no". He asked her, "When did you quit?"....Her reply, "On the ride over in the ambulance!". She's off the butts for 3 years after 50 years! Never thought being called a "quitter" was a good thing until now! Good for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 That is wonderful and I know it is hard work. Margaret in Iowa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
