Doing well, Lilly. Awesome.

Hope you feel better soon, Dave. Smoking is truly the gift that keeps on giving. As much as we like to think that our body has recovered, some damage is probably longer lasting than we realize. I keep wondering if we could successfully quit now then what kept us from quitting earlier. Hope to see you posting here soon.

Thanks so much, everyone! Didn't do much celebration really. Just waiting for the knee to heal enough so I can resume training for marathon (which is a BIG deal for someone who smoked almost 40yrs). The seat and the ship look attractive :). Coming, coming ... I've received help from others before me and am happy to pay it forward. Us quitters are the only ones who truly understand what others are going through. Thanks again, everyone!

Hey Linda, hang in there. It's a difficult 2 days for sure. I think you did great posting here.

My life, Awesome job for hanging in there. You're beating it. Also, it's great that you posted here rather than giving in. These moments will come as you hit the occasional triggers. We've smoked for years and it will keep trying to find a way back in. You're doing awesome. Stay strong and share your pics from Spain. P.S. Isn't it nice to be able to climb the steep streets without running out of breath?

TobacNo, you're doing awesome. At day 3, you've gone through ALL your daily triggers and beaten them down 3 times already. Things like the morning coffee and smoke, get in car and smoke, lunch smoke, etc etc. You will still need to face them down a few times plus also face the occasional triggers like travel, bad news, etc. Just keep doing what you're doing. Come here often, pledge NOPE and promise to post an SOS if you feel a crave you need help with. SOS really works and has saved many a quit.

I used to do it too ... smoke before and after ....

Yes, of course, it's possible. The benefits are real. Physical activity helps in the quit process. I took up running (well sort of shuffling while dying) to measure gains and the endorphins helped to negate some of the withdrawal symptoms. Highly recommend some sort of physical activity - walks, runs, gym, video - whatever works for you.
