Thanks. I have to admit it gets better as every day goes by but still those cravings come out of nowhere not as strong as they were but occasionally one that will sneak up on you.

It has done wonders for my self esteem and general outlook on life. I never thought I could pull this off so that is a confidence booster. Glad to be walking with you on the road to freedom.

Keep the Quit going and thanks for the support.

You can do it!! We can help!!!

Congratulations! Sounds like you have a great attitude and are putting up with harder aspects with bravado. You are almost at the same point as me so it's nice to see that someone else is finding their way through just like I am. Can't wait till it's old hat and there's not such a battle about it. Then relaxing with a cold one will be even better.

Happy Friday Buddy!!!

A few more hours and.... CLINK!!!

You're going to have those up and down days for a while, but if you can keep that PMA going it sure makes it a helluva lot easier! Ice water, deep breathing, walks and anything you can think of to distract yourself will take you a long way! Oh, and craving for that beer at the end of the day, too!

Ice Cold Brews..there is something I would like to crave for Jim and willsv56

That sounds good for a reward. I would have them on Friday..

Day 18 and counting. The cravings are on and off. yesterday it wasn't so bad.. today they are strong.. I have to admit I am getting used to fighting them..The irritability, stress and flashes of anger are almost gone. Continuing with nonic advice of Ice Cold Water, that helps and long walks outside whenever the craving hits hard.

More than all that look at all the quit meters of the folks on this site is a constant source of encouragement and motivation to keep the quit going.

Hey Freethree!!!

Congrats on making it through Heck Week!!! On to what we used to call Blah Week! Keep psyched up as best as you can and continue to reward yourself every day for kicking that demon's ash another day! One of my little games was a reward system for myself. I told myself that if I could make it through the day without smoking I would reward myself with a beer! Well, to make a long story short, that reward WAS a driving force in my success!

Still is!!!

So here's to quitting and ALL the rewards that come with it, buddy!!! CLINK!!!
