I would also recommend the big leap as a side book.

Good job Gaea!

I am 5 weeks smoke free today. Have thought about how easy it would be to cheat or just go back to it, but I like having that money in my pocket, and not having to worry about smelling like smoke any more. I can be around it and it doesn't bother me any more.

I feel like I am in a really good place with this now.

Hey, scoote, tell us your quitting story.

I know that for me hearing quit stories really helped me, so maybe some here will find it useful.

Awesome Just G 5 weeks just as easy as 3 then huh? I too have no difficulties being around people or my friends that smoke, in fact the ones that smoke are equally as supportive if not more supportive.

So tell me do you have wicked crazy dreams about smoking? i had one an it flipped me out however also opened my eyes because in my dream i had one that wasn't my brand i get crazy sick and started just giving packs and packs away ...if i associate that with money then yes in my dream i was also just giving my money away to who ever would take it...nightmares..

I am at the start of my 4th week.

I have been having strange dreams, but didn't even associate it with the lack of smoking. I also quit doing happy hour with my buddies several nights a week and have pretty much quit drinking at all. I need to start writing those dreams down...they are coo coo!

Congrats on the start of week 4!!

Wooohooooo Just_G and gaea. You're both doing brilliantly.

'grats to you too on your anniversary Scoote - and happy birthday to your Ma (it's Her Royal Greyness the Woodipotimus's 12th birthday on that day too.)

Are you keeping yourself hydrated as well then?

I am a closet quitter these days...
Though Gaea knows!
I watch and read about you all - so PROUD of you.
I am two weeks today.
I did the E-Cig for about 3 days and then just stopped.

I have not gained any weight, though I have not lost any. BUT - my vocal chords are healing and my voice is not so raspy - so this is GOOD.

That's all! Just wanted to share - YAY

Oh, I only quit drinking all the beer I was drinking with my buddies. I drink lots of water and an occasional Sobe pomegranite from time to time.

Giving up the beer made it easier for me to quit smoking since I started out only smoking when I drank. Now I can have a beer or two once in a while and not have a cig craving.
