Oh Evelyn, just talk to her and tell her you have to stay strong and keep your quit. If she is a good friend she will not smoke around you if it compromises you. Stay strong!!

Awesome!

Congrats, awesome milestone!

Nope!

I have tried to quit numerous times in the past. Several times I quit because my husband did. I am sad to say I am probably the reason he always went back to smoking because I always did. I quit because my kids wanted me to. I quit because it was New Years Day. I quit because my doctor thought I should. I quit for all the wrong reasons. My husband quit 3 months ago and I told him I wasn't ready this time. The truth is I was never ready. I told him I would support him and be his biggest cheerleader and I did not smoke around him. I watched him on his journey and i am so proud of him. He is a strong man. I have smoked for 40 years. I quit this time because I do not want to smoke anymore. I quit this time because it is MY choice. I quit this time for ME. I really haven't had any panic attacks about needing a cigarette. I do not want one. My entire body has reacted to the poisons leaving it. That is my struggle. I don't feel good YET. I have terrible stomach issues. I am still without energy. I am still gaining weight. I sill do not want to smoke. I know that all of this will get better. I have the mind set to be successful. I have the strength to work through all of this because I am ready and this is for me.

Thanks everyone! I will try the suggestions. My husband quit 3 months ago and I am so proud of him. We have saved a ton of money! I have always wanted a Grandfather clock, so last weekend I bought one at an estate sale with the money we would have spent on cigs. The clock chimes every 15 minutes and every 15 minutes I am proud of what we have accomplished. I am thankful for the reminder and the time we have added to our lives by quitting.

I have been reading the forum and it does help to read that you are not alone in the struggle. I quit smoking 03/26/15. My struggle is the withdrawal symptoms. I do not want a cigarette at all. I have had stomach issues from day 1. The bloating and gas is very uncomfortable and aggravating. I have been working on diet to see if that will help. I have gained weight but I am not going to worry about that right now. I guess the only good thing about feeling like this is, I will definitely stay quit because I do not want to go through this again! I smoked for 40 years and tried to quit countless times. I have never gone this long without smoking so I am feeling great about that! Thanks to everyone that posts with praise and help. i could sure use suggestions for the stomach issues.
