2 1/2 months have passed

Well I just wanted to browse and see how everyone is doing. It looks like the quit train is doing well. There are lots of new members. I gave up my quit in April and I have not tried to quit again. Being here though - reading all the posts makes me wonder if I should try again. I am not afraid to try to quit again I think the stressful part is I am setting myself up for failure because I don't believe I am going to do it. I am lying to myself and I don't want to tell anybody I am quitting

Day 13

I still think about smoking but it is getting less frequent. There are only moments here and there. My breathing is still getting better every day. I am wondering when the fight will be over and I can relax. I am still waiting also to feel normal again. This I am sure will take some time to undo 35 years of being abnormal. I am still very happy about my decision to be a non smoker I think I just have to get comfortable with this and learn how to snuggle up.

1 week and 2 days

Today is day 9- and I am a non smoker!   The funny thing is my brain has 2 parts the good part and the bad part. The good part says I quit smoking- I do not want to smoke again. The bad part says I want a cigarette.   Smoking was always a part of me. I never went anywhere without it. I smoked in the house which was not so good for my honey but I did it anyway because I was selfish and did not want to suffer and be without my cigarette.   So for me smoking was normal I have never been

Day 7 or Night 7

Day 7 is over and it is almost time for me to go to bed. It is only 9:20 PM since I no longer smoke I have been in bed by 10 pm every night. Normally it would be between 11 and 12 as I was quite happy watching a movie as long as I had my cigarettes to smoke. Pretty Strange. No issues for me today but I think I lot my quit buddy, It was cool to have someone to quit with on the same day and go through all of the stages of the quit at the same time. I can only hope he is doing well.   Tomorro

Day 6

I am wondering if I still need to count the days- I have to say I am doing this well. I am wondering if I should post my SOS for myself. At this point I am thinking there will be no SOS but one day there might be..   If I were going to smoke it would have been yesterday. Planning dinner with neighbor coming over and planned on pork loin on the smoker outside. I had to go to the store for the pork loin so I pick the closest store (Stop N Shop) they have only very small pork loins. I discove

3rd Day

Good Morning Everyone   Day 3 has arrived and I still feel on top of the world. I have a feeling of Euphoria. I have tried to quit before many times and it was never like this. For the first time my eyes are wide open and I am doing this no matter what.   I am at work again and just ordered breakfast to get delivered (pork roll egg and cheese) not the healthiest but I am hungry oh orange juice to go with that. I already had two glasses of water and I am going for a third.   There are

2nd day

I am so happy today I feel on top of the world. I am wondering how many weeks until my cough goes away and I get some energy back. Time will tell. Last night was different- I did not sit on the couch and watch the news or a movie and smoke 10 cigarettes. Two pieces of gum last night 1 around 6 pm and 1 around 9pm so yesterday I had a total of 4 pieces of Nicorette. So I am not nicotine free but I am not filling my lungs with poison. I went to be really early 9:30 which is okay. I feel reste
