You are NOT a piece of crap! Do'/t say that about yourself. I think it's great that you were able to go a whole month. You should be very proud of yourself!

Next timne you decide to quit try to go at least another month and see what happens.

That is a good start!

I have tried many times to quit. You will find that everyone who has ever quit smoking had tried many times before it worked.
Here is my recent post to explain why I decided to quit. I hope this helps...

I have been taking Chantix for about a week now. I have not smoked for 4 days. I still miss it alot! I did this a few years ago and it worked better than all the other stuff. I have tried patches, gum, Zyban,and everything else on the market. This is the one that has the least side effects and seems to work for me.

I aint no spring chicken and have been smoking for 35 years. I usually smoked about a pack and a half except for weekends where I would smoke two packs a day.

Now you are thinking ,why did this guy decide to quit after all that time?

I'm tired of standing outside in the rain and cold where I work because the non-smokers tell us where we are allowed to smoke.
I'm tired of smelling like the bottom of an ashtray in my clothes and my car.
I'm tired of hearing about how I'm gonna die from smoking each time I talk about it with non-smokers.
I'm tired of being told you cannot smoke in outdoor restraurants, football stadiums, outside concerts, and pubic parks.(I'm outside for christ sake)
I'm tired of spending $40.00 each week on something I just burn up. I have NOTHING to show for it.
I'm tired of my wife turning her head and kissing me on the cheek. (we all know why)
I'm tired of always making sure I have smokes and a lighter no matter what I'm doing or where I'm going.
I'm tired of cigarette ashes all over my car interior.
I'm tired of burns in my shirts and pants and car seats.
I'm tired of wondering how many years I'm cutting off my life just to smoke a damn cigarette.
I'm tired of being black-balled in any social setting (smokers always hang together in that "special place" where the non-smokers let us smoke)
I'm just really tired of the whole damn thing.

If you read this far I'm surprised... I started to rant a bit. ,,,Sorry :(

My best friend died a few weeks ago because he smoked, and that got my attention. We used to sit around and smoke cigarettes and discusse how we are not gonna let those non-smokers tell us what to do. Yeah, we thought we would live a long time and smoke our smokes. Well, Ernie had a massive heart attach and died right there in that chair where we did all this big talking. Ernie was 56, I'm 53.

I have a great wife and good kids that I would like to be with for many years into the future.
I got to thinking,,, If I live only three years longer because I quit, that is about 1000 more sunrises and sunsets I will get to enjoy with my wife and kids.

This is really why I quit ,and why I will continue to stay quit.

It is really all in your head. I have suffered a few days the withdrawal pains of stopping. Big deal! What does it feel like when the heart attack hits you? Is it just three or four days of pain then it is over??? Hell no, It goes on for the rest of your life if you live through it.

For all you young wipper-snappers out there. Stop now and save yourself the hassle of smoking. The powers that be will continue to raise the prices and know that you are addicted and will pay any price for smokes. This year in Tennessee there was a hike of $4.00 on each carton and not one lawmaker was on the smokers side. Smokers will pay ANY price for their drug.

Stop smoking now and use the money you save by stopping to do something really kewl!

Hang in there, it wont be hard for too much longer.

Then you can turn into one of those crappy non-smokers I love to talk about.
