If you want to quit smoking or just want some inspiration to quit (I say that because although I wasn't ready, it always made me feel better to know when someone else had done it and survived lol), let me know! I'd love to form a kind of support group. Whether you're quitting to save money for your wedding or just because it's the right time, whatever the reason!

I am 3 days without smoking today and trust me, I feel like running around a screaming!!!! Anyone else been here before? This will be my second time (and hopefully last) quitting! I'm only scared of getting super fat now because I find myself wanting to munch on things more frequently lol...

Anyone else?

    LOL I usually have smoke dreams about a week into it..

    When I quite a couple years ago, my boss promised to make me cheesecake for my 6 month mark and so I would have dreams that I would be smoking and then say "Oh no!! Now Kilee will find out and won't make me my cheesecake!".... such a fatty's dream.. lol oh well..

    @Tiffany,
    I don't really know how we could organize this per say.. I was thinking maybe posting a thread once a week to see how everyone's doing? Connecting on FB? I'm open to ideas or suggestions!

    I only like the idea of a weekly post on WW because A)It'd be neat to see how this is positively affecting our weddings or how it's causing planning to feel more stressful B) it's the only way I'd be able to communicate at work, everything else is blocked lol.. but I geuss I could facebook from my phone Smiley smile

    Good luck ladies! My mom was a three pack a day smoker and quit because she couldn't afford it! I have never seen her smoke a cigarette and I've been smoke free my whole life. Think about the example you'll be setting for your kids and how much money you will save. You can do it!

    @Kate- I was at one pack a day and it definately is expensive.. then my FH would buy a pack every other day to a day- I don't even know how we did it.. sad sad sad..

    I kind of want to try that new e-cig; but am kind of nervous that I won't quit quit if I use them. Ya know? Also, I have tried the gum, and Brittany it is DISGUSTING I do agree with you. The patches I heard work, but on some people (with sensitive skin) it leaves marks on them.
