We finally did it, together. Hubby and I are on vaccation at home and we finally quit yesterday afternoon. We joined the ymca 6 months ago, which was our first step to quit smoking. I wanted the both of us to get healthier. We both love going to the gym. We wnt to the gym late last night, and oh my i accually felt more energized!!!!!

maya, good for you too. wow, today is day 5. it has not been that bad. the habit is the worse part. we are just keeping busy. mostly after we eat. well, at least my house is clean, and the dishes are done. my hubby and i were on vaccation all week, but he is back to work today. i hope he is doing ok at work because i know a lot of people at his work smoke. looking forward to day 6..

Whew.........it's now been 2 weeks and 5 hours. Hubby and I feel great. Boy this no smoking thing is pretty easy so far. I thought after smoking for 19 years it would be tougher than this! So far the worst part were the days leading up to our quit date.

Hi Penster,
so...
what have you find to be the hardest?...and what has susprised you in the "easy " part......?
I would love to hear any shares that you have...
what to expect..not expect....

Don't you find the first 24- 48 hrs to be the hardest?
It is almost like ..."if I can get past 48 hrs...I'm on my way"....

Is that a fair assesment?

thanks!!
