My Journey to Smoke-Free Living
(4 votes, average: 3.75 out of 5)
Loading ...I’m a smoker.
Wait. I take that back. I’m an EX-SMOKER. At the time of this writing, I’ve been living a smoke-free life for about four weeks.
I’d like to tell you that it’s been an easy journey so far. I’d like to tell you that quitting the smoking habit was as easy as saying “no,” just like what a lot of anti-smoking campaigns would like you to believe.
I wish that was the case. In reality, it’s been a hard and challenging experience. The stress of daily life and work don’t make it easier either. Fortunately though, I had a bit of help and encouragement.
That’s what my blog is all about: a look into my progress in becoming more of non-smoker as the weeks go by.
In addition to my progress, I’ll be posting my thoughts about all things relating to the tobacco industry. From government-sponsored quit lines and anti-smoking legislation to products that purport to help you quit smoking, I’ll cover them all. If you’re looking at quitting the smoking habit, I hope you’ll find something useful from my blog.
So join me at www.quitthesmokinghabit.com if you can. Or if you know someone you think will benefit from my blog, tell them about it. Perhaps one day, they’ll thank you for doing so.
To good health,
Dale

I really like the site, it is a great idea! I am glad to hear that you quit smoking, that is definitely a great accomplishment on your part so just be sure to keep it up. I have unsuccessfully been trying to get my mom to quit smoking for awhile now, but I plan to keep trying.

Thanks for the comment, Clarke.
Don’t give up on your mom. It’s particularly easy to quit these days. Give her some info on Bupropion or some other related drug. It’s safe and she doesn’t necessarily have to ignore the craving if she doesn’t want to.

Congratulations on what must be about a month now! Like they say in recovery, take it one day at a time, and if that’s too long, an hour, 5 minutes, whatever it takes. I’ve never been a hardcore smoker, but just casual smoking for a couple months (I call it being a ‘drag queen’) has put me on albuterol for the asthma it created.
This site http://whyquit.com/whyquit/LinksAAddiction.html has a ton of info for people trying to quit, and their front page is pretty moving.
Again, congratulations, and keep up the good work! sarahanne

Everyone’s journey is different, but that doesn’t mean we can’t relate to the challenge we all have faced: fFrom one ex-smoker to another, here’s wishing you strength every day.
