Big congratulations to you Mona for reaching this big milestone of 1 month quit! It's the hardest month of all to get past as you are facing lots of challenges from your nicotine addiction and building your quit toolkit at the same time but, you are past that 1st month now so go celebrate big time then go back to work strengthening that quit

Was just coming on to post your Anniversary Sunshine59 and, yes you are 5 whole months quit today! Congratulations!! You should be excited and you should also be very proud of what you have done.

Good stuff! This is the important thing when using NRT products. Have a reduction plan that will have you nicotine free in the end. You have that plan and are working it so Good for You! I'm sure there will be some volatility with cravings and anxiety as you step down each time but that's to be expected. Come here to vent or for support. You have the knowledge now on how to fight the cravings and you have your vision of a smoke-free Lilly so your quit is assured as long as you continue to work your plan faithfully each and every day

Hey Newbies! There's a Pinned Thread on the Quit Smoking Discussion Page called The 1 Year Commitment. There's a reason for that pledge. There are seasonal challenges that we face depending on the climate we live in or even our religious beliefs and celebrations. We were conditioned to smoking when certain things happened with celebrations or changing of seasons. You must face these times now as a non smoker to become comfortable with no longer smoking in those situations. It's not because you will be having major cravings all the time. That tends to settle down within the first 4-7 months depending on the person. You WILL come to a point when you just suddenly realize that you never want to smoke again. That is a magical moment. It happens to all who adhere to the NOPE pledge for long enough. This doesn't mean you will never think about smoking again. It just means you will have a different reaction to those thoughts when they occur. That's when you KNOW you've arrived at your forever quit!
