i really feel good about being quit for one wk. not even a drag off hubbies....i was smoking between 1-3 of his daily for quite awhile, now i am glad to know i can have the willpower to quit these cancer sticks! when i get a crave now, i just talk myself out of it....i found talking to myself about how bad they are, took a few slow breaths, and got over the crave.
looking to hear from all of you that have quit. it would be interesting for us all to report on how we get thru those craves....take care.........bevann

Oh Bevann!! I had to sign in to reply to your post.

CONGRATULATIONS on one week!!!!! That is great. The nicodemon is out of your system. The slow breaths helped me a lot. Also, a lot of water drinking. I used those dum dum suckers, chewed on straws. Don't get sad, get mad! Cigarettes are cancer sticks and you will no longer be a slave to them!!!
Congratulations again and keep it up!

Good job. What ever you need to do to not smoke, do it!!!!. It is 70 days today smoke free and I truly thought I would never make it.

bevann26 way to go and keep up the fight. I'm just shy of making it 6 months now. Remembering how terrible those first few days were and how I'de have to go thru that again keeps me from giving any serious thought to lighting up. That first week was one of the best and worse weeks of my life and I don't ever want to repeat it. Good Luck. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!

yay! tomorrow is my two week mark, not a single puff. Cant say i havent wanted one though lol. i traded cancer sticks for cavity sticks and pretty soon i will have the strongest jaw muscels in the world with as much gum as i have been chewing lol. Good job everyone!!!! keep it up we can all make it thru this.
