Awesome!

Even more impressive that you're giving up and not replacing it with a smoking facsimile.

I don't know how it felt to anyone else who has quit the smoking (not just nicotine) habit but I knew, just knew that this time I was truly done, that I'd cracked it, from the moment I put down my last cig and started breaking all the patterns that go along with smoking.

Keep on keeping on

Congratulations! Hang in there...you CAN do it! You ARE worth it!

Today is my 11th day and it's definitely getting easier...I'm saving over $150 per month but the benefits to my health are priceless!

To GreeneyedMe, Miss_Scarlett and Bella~Vita

GO YOU!

Deciding to stop, then stopping is huge.

For some of us, it takes time after time after time before something takes and we're stopped for good. I hope this time your time, hell, I hope this time is my time too.

Feel good about what you're doing, revel every time you've sucessfully fought off the craving. And if you slip, then come on back.

i am down to my last four cigarettes. So i guess this means i will be quitting sometime today.

~baby~doll~ 07-21-2013 08:14 AM

It has been two days now and i am doing well. i sometimes reach for the pack but this seems more from habit than needing a smoke. i have 16 more days until the habit is actually broken. so far so good thanks for being here for support.

On July 2, I celebrated my seven year anniversary of quitting smoking.

Looking forward to the continued improvements that my body is making every day that I stay on this path.

Way to go!

I wanted to say congrats to those still not smoking!

Also that I am sorry for such a long span of no contact.
Things have been a little crazy in my world lately.
But still smoke free. smiles

I need to say that I have had so many things thrown my way this month that I have felt weak at times. Just being honest.

I have had some spurts of bad health. But I am on the climb.
My daughter went in for 4 biopsies yesterday and we will get results within 7 days.
My friends mom which is like an adpoted mom to me, found out today she may have lukemia and we are waiting for her results.
A very dear friend is in the hospital having cancer removed tomorrow.
And a very dear friend/family member went in for a shoulder sugery this last week and is FOR NOW, paralized and a colapsed lung due to someones mess up. But the lung is getting better and we are waiting for the rest to follow.

I also am looking at another xray to see if my lung nodules have increaded and if so that will me a biopsy.
I believe that will be done next week. If I am not at hospital with my daughter.
So needless to say...Anxiety has been pretty consistant. But still haven't smoked.

When things get rough like this, it reminds me of how strong I truely am.
It used to be that I would smoke like a chimney through hard times.

I have decided if it gets bad to where I want to crack, I will get a no nicotine vapor smoke or something.

The doc said it wouldn't harm me if I did.

But that is as a last resort...Don't need it today.

Anyways, I am only human and doing the best I can.
Will keep posting as well.

Keep up the good work and I am really happy and proud for those of you who have chosen to quit and live longer.

Have a great week!

Three months, but it's not that impressive because I never smoked very much. At any rate, I do get cravings, but I got a couple of e-cigs with zero nicotine and menthol flavours and I use those when I get a craving.

Of course 3 months is impressive.
Any amount of days you choose life over cigs is something to celebrate.
Don't cut yourself short.
Smoking some or tons, is hard to quit.

Way awesome your doing so well.
Keep up the great work.
