Almost a week!!

I smoked my last cig on May 3rd 2005 at 0900 and have not have one since! It has been hard at times but I feel SO much better! I think working out every day has helped me keep my mind off of wanting one. There are still moments when I do something and it triggers the want but it is NOT a NEED! I can do this!! :)

WAY TO GO!!! I am really proud of you. I quit on New Year's Day. Wow, do I feel (and smell) better. There are certainly very rough times, but it is worth it in the long run - just like losing weight. Don't give into temptation, it will always be there. I think I will always want a smoke, but I try to do something else until the feeling passes. It gets easier each day. Keep at it and soon it will be a month, then two months, etc...... Great job!!

Wow! I hope you are proud of yourself every day for the rest of your life. This will certainly give you a longer life. I have been quit now for 3 1/2 years. Most of the time I do not want to smoke. Every once in awhile it still creeps up on me. I think I will always have to be on my toes. My sister has been quit now for six years. She says she rarely ever thinks of smoking. She was a heavy smoker. Guess there's hope for me.

Just stay focused and positive and you will join the rest of us non-smokers.
