April 7, 201412 yr I went to do groceries and didn't buy cigs That, despite it all, is victory.

Please know that you're never truly alone. You have your no-smo pals right beside you.

April 7, 201412 yr Hey Evelyn, Sorry I'm late! I'm very happy you triumphed through it. I don't know when you lost your mom, but I know what that heartbreak feels like. I felt so empty and alone inside. I didn't smoke and you won't either, as long as you have faith in yourself. You can this hun. It's a battle, but you are so strong to have this desire to stay quit right now. You are doing the best you can; feel proud for every minute, every hour you go without smoking. You're doing it! I think it was Action who said this, but you have us and I'm so happy you reached out to us. That's what we're here for. We can identify what you're going through because we've all been there. I can 100% guarantee to you that it gets better. You just have to hold onto your quit tightly, grit your teeth, and get through the cravings. We believe in you!
April 7, 201412 yr Evelyn, so glad you made it. You sound better already. This will give you strength for your next challenge. Remember after 72 hours the nicotine will have left your body and then it is all in your mind. You are doing great :)
