Hi Evelyn, Thanks for asking.. hope you are doing good :)

NOPE for today this is my pledge.

Doing good except I am a scatterbrain.. forgot my anniversary yesterday- really felt like a (jack a...) wanted to go buy cigarettes but I did not.

Hi Action, Hope all is okay.. I have heard from other people who quit that sometimes there is a cough for about 1 month after just your lungs trying to clear things up. Wishing you well :)

This is a good one- it has been 13 days and I still feel like I am missing something when I am walking out the door. Purse, phone, keys check.. cigarettes - no I don't smoke.

March 1 When was the last time you went fishing?

Ramble on Evelyn- I think this is how we make it through!

Great metaphor Love it!

I have to say I enjoyed smoking and if I only smoked 2-3 a day I would continue. I am not sure if it was enjoyment or being comfortable in my habit. I smoked Marlboro Menthol light- the light part was supposed to be healthier for me just like I drink 1/2 caff coffee. I was pretty much a chain smoker 4 packs for the weekend were needed. This is why I had no choice but to quit. It was getting out of hand.

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.

This is a report of your hell week I am thinking since it was June 8th 2013..anyway it is pretty accurate. Thanks for sharing!

9 months is Great! Congratulations! :)

Congratulations!

LOL- don't forget we got to ride in the back of the pick up truck.. make sure you sit down and hold on.

Wow- you got this. I feel like I am still trying- everyday I am trying. Maybe one day I will be where you are at and I can just say I quit. Awesome- happy for you! :)

Happy Monday Morning NOPE for me for today! :)

Nice work Congratulations!

Congratulations Betsy! 11 months is great

Hi Evelyn, Think of the reasons why you quit smoking. Try to keep busy. Concentrate on your breathing. You are a non smoker. I know this not easy sometimes- but try to work through the more difficult times and they will be fewer and fewer. I hope you have a Happy Smoke Free Easter.

Hi Joe, Awesome!! Congratulations :)
