Humbled

Marti - we all have random thoughts at times - your resolve is very strong just as you are too. Florida is going to be such a fun trip - and congrats on finishing your course. Are those the only 2 reasons why you quit? I am just curious - see now I am having random thoughts. I personally think whatever the reason for the quit is just the beginning - it is there to motivate us to make a positive change within ourselves -the reward is achieving the goal.  Now that you have finished that part of your journey (or in 5 days when you get to FL) I would say find a few more reasons to stay quit - maybe next year you plan another trip you have always wanted or something else.

You just gave me a great idea for a topic -not sure how it will be perceived or received but you will get a nod either way for making me think of it.  Hope you have a great time in Florida you certainly deserve it. 

Thanks for sharing Marti -very proud of you - you deserve to be proud of yourself and the fact that you were able to turn a concept into a reality for yourself is incredible. I am so happy I found this family as well - without it I am not sure if I would have been able to maintain my own quit. Reading posts such as yours and others just helps many people reiterate why we are here. So thanks for being you and for the love and support you have shown all of us. Congrats!

Good Luck DD - sounds like things are going in the right direction. Hope they just continue that way for you and keep getting better and better until you can sleep clear through the night :)

Things going well - Thanks for thinking about me! This is a great site for support and as a reminder of why I chose to close the smoking chapter in my life for good.

Almost at the end of first week but no temptations at all.. so I guess that is good.

Thanks for the support and yes I just got back from the tournament that was at the bar and about 15 or so out of the 20 of us playing were all drinking and smoking like crazy.  I am very happy and proud to say that I never even considered having even one puff-  NOPE for me!!!

I didn't even have a drink I had nothing but water and fun - I drove home smiling!
