Very serious post - tell me not to buy more
I just had a cig. 
It was the last one out of the box.
I've tried quitting before, it hasn't worked.
I've never really said it "out loud" on the Nest.
Tell me not to go out and buy another pack!! I do have to go buy dogfood so I'm super anxious about passing a gas station bc I know I'll have the dirty urge to go in and buy.
I really want to quit. 
Re: Very serious post - tell me not to buy more
I'm off to buy dogfood.
Wish me luck! I'll tell the truth about whether I bought some or mot.
With the way my day is going, I'm about to come join you in your smoke.
Signed,
Your horrible friend.
The successful quitters I know all quit cold turkey.
Don't buy anymore. Consider yourself a non-smoker from this moment on, not someone who is trying to quit.
Ditto. I have never known anyone who "weaned" themselves that was successful.?
Ok I made it!
That's good to know that you know cold turkey quitters.
I am a non-smoker right now.
Don't do it, D!!!
Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing several chronic disorders. These include fatty buildups in arteries, several types of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung problems). Atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty substances in the arteries) is a chief contributor to the high number of deaths from smoking. Many studies detail the evidence that cigarette smoking is a major cause of coronary heart disease, which leads to heart attack.

D! I am so proud of you! You slipped up but that doesn't mean you have to keep smoking right?
It's like the whole diet analogy. If you screw up one day and have a cupcake does that mean you should just give up and eat a dozen cupcakes? NO!
You're already on your way! Keep it up D!
?
Very MM choice, D. I am proud of you.??
This sucks.
Most damage to your lungs can be turned around fairly quickly if you quit and don't smoke anymore.
One of DHs friends who is a smoker had a serious heart problem on Thanksgiving. He collapsed on the floor and could not move for hours to even get to the phone. Luckily his daughter came home and was able to get him to the hospital. He quit cold turkey and has not smoked since. He says he feels so much better and his voice even sounds better.
Just do it and try to distract yourself if you get any cravings.
Thanks ladies.
I hate smoking. It's so embarassing. People that pass me by give me dirty looks. It's expensive too.
I guess I shouldn't have popped open a bottle of wine. Alcohol makes me want a smoke.
Thanks for sharing that with me. I know you hear all kinds of stories and read them, but it's different when you hear them from people you know.
Smokers are disgusting.
Stop.
