FANTASTIC!!!!! :clap::thumbsup:

Keep it up! And keep posting!!!

My best advice is..change all your normal habbits that may trigger smokes..take lots of breaths and walk run or pace as much as need be...smiles.
also read some of the great stuff in this thread.
Stay honest to yourself..tell yourself often you don't need that.
And make yourself accountable..here or elsewhere.
It really does help.

Welcome to the ride. Glad to have more company..smiles

Always2late.....good for you!! It is NEVER 2 LATE to quit smoking. Someday soon you will say you are a non-smoker and what a feeling that is to be able to do! I don't know where you go to get strength when you need it, but for those few minutes when you are fighting the nicotine demon to not buy a pack or bum one.....call that strength to the forefront. I support you from afar.......and know one day soon you will be an even stronger woman from your success!

Just checking in really quickly. I haven't fallen off the wagon since my last slip up. I have been so busy with work and school that I haven't had time to think about my old habit. When I do see people smoking the urge to smoke isn't as strong and I am so glad to be smoke free. I actually did go to the gym. My son went with me and her was my personal trainer and I can hardly move today, but I can say I have no desire to smoke, and it feels good to be experiencing the not wanting to smoke feelings :-) Keep up the great work everyone!

I am getting ready to quit once again after starting a few months ago......I really hate this habit !!!!

totally understand......
 

Yanno, that control pissed me off!! I also was scared of what the hell they were adding to my brand of smokes. The flavor would change, and I am not talking about the freshness or being stale. Given the price, (3 years ago now) and WTF were those bastids' were putting in there to keep me addicted pissed me off enough to say cluck you blother! Cold turkey, and they never got another dime, and my lungs are better because of it. I don't miss it at all. kinda sick to my stomach when I am near peeps who do smoke.......I totally understand the mind fuck that happens when you want to quit. Self mutany at its best :).........I totally get it and say to those of you who are quitting and /or desire to quit: YOU ARE SO WORTH IT, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!! I admire you for the work and ongoing efforts in your successes!! If you feel you have let yourself down, get over it and continue your efforts. No one of us is perfect. GO! GO! GO! {waving pom pom's}

I am so impressed by your continued strength. Keep it up!

Well thank you.
I am sure if you seen my weak moments, it wouldn't be so impressive..ha But I don't break..That is all that matters..Right? Smiles

Thank you again. The support here and keeping a record, also holding myself accountable and holding it up to others..Truely has helped for me.

I say..... if you are having some struggles it is the battle you are winning!! Someday LP, you as well as others here will no longer count the days, but will be able to say years ago. :) Although I am a reformed smoker.......I feel it is important once I stumbled on this thread, to stop in and support people who choose to quit. As corny as it may sound, it is admirable to see ya all more than just wanting to be successful, but having successes every day. Imperfections are human traits, I am human and l love me!! Keep up the good work......positive energy!!

Well today is the day !!!! :| So far so good a little irritated here and there but not too bad. Right now I have one heck of a headache but that will go away soon. This will be the 3rd time I have quit cold turkey in my lifetime and I want this time to be the LAST !!!!:thumbsup:

I have one word for you :) WOOT!!! (technically not a word but you get the idea).

:goodluck: YOU CAN DOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you!!! You are awesome!!

WHOOO HOOOO Day one complete :seeingstars: Didn't get much sleep last night but that's to be expected. Now on to another day and one more under my belt :hangloose:

Day two down !!!!!! Doing a bit better today.....feeling a bit more like myself :police: and not so much of the inner turmoil:slapfight:. I know each time I get a craving, that if I change my surroundings:theisland:, say to myself this too shall pass :praying:, and take a deep breath :sigh:....it gets easier each time :wallbreak:. and I am now coming off of a smiley overload !!!!

Looking forward to the rest of this week and weekend, a wonderful distraction has been started !!!!

Thank you baby for all your support and you know you have mine, keep up the good work :)
