Hey Lou,
Thanks for taking the time to share that with me. I appreciate your encouragement--and kinda feel the same as you describe many days. Some are easy & others it seems I struggle the whole day. I use the NOPE thing alot & remind myself of how badly I've felt in the past when I relapsed. I do think this site has made this quit MUCH stronger.
Congrats to you--wish I'd have done it sooner...
Deb

Cabbage--what an inspiration!!! I see myself there--a dedicated, firm pack & half girl for 30 years who didn't really think this was possible...But watching the multiple success stories & watching the quit meter tick is convincing me that maybe, just maybe this time --the quit is within reach.....
Can't wait till they make me queazy....

Thanks for this wonderful, heartfelt story. It certainly puts alot of things in perspective for me. You have accomplished an amazing feat--with three years under your belt. Thanks for still reaching out to those beginning their journey & showing us it can be done..

Hey fighter,
Looking back over my diary--it seems that emotional stressful days have been the toughest for me. But--one by one they can be overcome; just take it minute by minute and stay strong. Remind yourself that smoking will not change ANYTHING that is stressing you -- except it will add another problem that will have to be dealt with at some time. Try not to look too far ahead--just get through each minute/hour and remind yourself that this TOO shall pass.
Sending warm wishes for you & your mom, Deb

My fiance & I went out for some appetizers, drinks and dancing at a local spot on Saturday night. Because we are in the suburbs of Phila --smoking is still allowed inside at designated places. In the 4 hours we were there only 1 smoker inside---& one sitting by himself in the car puffing away... (now you know that couldn't have been any fun!!)
The reasons to stay quit just keep piling up ;p
