February 13, 201511 yr Going into my third week of no smoking! There are times I "think" I need a smoke but I don't. I am proud I am not smoking! I sure can see where "just one" is NOT an option....at all.....how to ruin a good thing. As one person on the Forum said....cigarettes don't come as one...they come as a pack. Still chewing my gum. Sometimes now just regular gum works. Thanks to Everyone on this awesome site for helping me to stay strong. I am SO glad I joined this group. You ALL understand and provide added strength & motivation :)
February 13, 201511 yr Hi Tyme. Glad to hear from you and see that you're doing so well. Quite right to feel proud as well - it's not often we make such a positive and life changing decision. You're doing great. Are you beginning to feel any health benefits as well yet?
February 13, 201511 yr Great read!! This is why the quit train exists and why it keeps on! Congrats to you!

February 13, 201511 yr Author Hi Rob. I'm still battling some insomnia since quitting but on the positive side I definitely have less of a cough in the mornings & actually feel more energetic despite the insomnia. I think the insomnia is gradually getting better though. You are so right...it IS a life changing decision! A good one. Thanks for the support :)
February 14, 201511 yr Author I'm trying BAT. One day at a time. I love to sleep & escape. This is normal, right?
February 14, 201511 yr Each week it gets better. Look how better you feel now . Also I know you feel proud how you were able to quit and are now a nonsmoker. ...i love to sleep too. After awhile you go back to your normal relaxed state and sleep patterns. I used to cough at night while sleeping. Now i don't. :)!
February 14, 201511 yr Love reading how positive you sound .... You have got this and the sleep and everything else will keep getting better - onwards and upwards from here :-)
February 14, 201511 yr Tyme2Be...You have made it though Hell Week and Heck Week..This week is dubbed WTF week. If you got through the past two weeks, then you are golden :) Just stay strong and pledge NOPE every day. It gets better and that's a promise :)
February 14, 201511 yr .You have made it though Hell Week and Heck Week..This week is dubbed WTF week. That's good to know! :) Keep up the great work.....it gets easier and easier (they say). :)
February 14, 201511 yr You have the right idea and positive outlook! Goodness knows I'm a grouchy B a lot of the time, and sometimes even more so when I first quit, but there was a certain freedom with knowing that all I had to do for a while was just not smoke. No other self expectations. You are doing great!
February 17, 201511 yr Author That's good to know! :) Keep up the great work.....it gets easier and easier (they say). :)

February 17, 201511 yr Author It sounds like you are a new convert as well Oneistoo. Good for you! It may not be easy but I know it's going to be worth it!
