19 days,,,,,blowing my horn..............

Spacecas.....I like your honesty and that your willing to take that step, to set a quit date, I know this sounds like a cliche, but if I can do it, so can you. I never thought I could do it. But I am. And you can too. I think we should spend this whole year together,,,,going through our quits..........I would really like that. Jules

Celebrating milestones....yeehaaaa...

19 days,,,,,blowing my horn..............

Spacecas.....thanks. Yeah this is going to be a good year of firsts, first Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years, without smoking...............I feel like its the start of my new life............like I was wearing blinders and now the blinders are off, and I can see clearly now...........I was ridiculously stupid for smoking for 32 years, I only wish I had quit sooner. I understand here in California, that the taxes on cigarettes are going up another 1.50 so now cigarettes are going to cost 8.00 dollars a pack. I was floored when it went to 6.50.....I am SO grateful that I no longer have to buy this expensive product, the freedom is amazingly liberating........like I was in a prison and now I am free,,,,,okay I guess you can tell I am in a melodramatic mood, but I am just so filled with awe, and a deep contentment, that I am fighting this battle and winning,,,,,,,,,I NEVER EVER thought I could do it. I know I am still a newbie, and I have to protect my quit, but I am feeling successful, and I am looking forward to every milestone that is coming my way,,,,,,my first 6 months, my first year, etc.......... anyway I am ecstatic that I have found this website to share my happiness and my despair over this nasty addiction.

again for me too

Deb, my mind works likes yours does, everytime I read what you write I can totally relate....I am at 23 days, I still have cravings, moments when I want to throw in the towel and smoke....just one cigarette, but believe it or not, this website and the quit meter on my computer is keeping me smober...........its been 23 days, but its actually longer cuse I quit for a while on Cinco De Mayo, so I was practacing, but now its 23 days with NO nicotine at all............I went through the phase there for a miniute of splurging with the money I knew Iwas going to smoke with and bought myself some summer sandals and Almond soap. The rewards are so important,,,,,but then I think you get to a point where the fact that your not smoking is the reward........your just so grateful that you don't feel like your relying on something outside of yourself to make you feel good. Its really weird, when I get ready to leave the house, I feel lighter, I don't have to panic if I walk to my car and realize that I forgot my smokes, and I have to go back and get them, like I used to. I might only be going to the store, but if I forgot my smokes I would go back in and get them, so I could smoke when I came out of the store...cuse God knows, being in a store for 20 miniutes your pheening for a cigarette when you come out...........its werid too, that I feel less rushed,,,,,,I can take my time, looking over things, instead of rushing so I can get outside to smoke.......these seem like minor things, to me they are huge. I think its fantastic that your setting a great example for your child by not smoking too, your baby will much healthier too. Keep up the good job.......Jules

Dreams............of smoking?

Ashley I didn't know this is called Zombie month how totally apropo,,,,yeah I am 26 days smober, now cigarette smell is starting to make me sick, at first I liked the smell, now it kindof gets on my nerves, which I am not sure how I feel about that, I don't want to be turned off to my hubby and girlfriends. But the smell is getting to be disgusting, so that is how I used to smell, I never realized just how strong I must have smelled, my sense of smell is so strong now...........Thank you Jim for the positive feedback, if truth be told, you were very instrumental in my quit, you didn't mince words, and I took what you had to say to heart. I kept giving myself outs and wasn't committed to my quit like I should have been, I am going to need to post here for a while, until I feel 100% confident that I am really quit for good. But each day I do feel a sense of accomplishment, I am actually 26 days with no NRT or nicotine in anyway............its good to wake up from a smoking nightmare, figuratively speaking and literally. I can't wait until I am one year quit. yeeha!!!!!!!!! This website has been so helpful for my quit, you have no idea. I wish this freedom for everybody. Jules

Dreams............of smoking?

Thank you Karren, I can hardly believe my stats!!!!!!!!!!! I too feel like the time is right for my quit. My best friend is an ex-alcoholic she has be sober for 13 years, one of her best friends in sobriety has recently gone off the wagon and starting drinking agian, my friend reached out to me today, and said she was questioning her sobriety, she said that in her opinion everybody goes back to drinking and relasping.........the only thing I could tell her, is its a choice, you choose one day at a time, to be sober, and that her friend would have to make the choice agian, if she wants to continue to drink or not,,,,,,,,as I was giving her this advice it occured to me, that in some ways every addiction is similiar it dosn't feel like a choice when your in the addiction, you NEED the nicotine, the alcohol, the choclate, or herion, whatever the drug its hard to fight, but once you start making some headway, it get easier, and it boils down to being a choice.........for today I choose not to smoke, and it gave me the insight to help my friend. I suggested to my friend that she be the example for her friend and remain sober, and she said to me, that I gave her hope, cuse I had stopped smoking,,,,,,,,,,my best friend stills smokes........and now I am setting an example for her. Its actually fun to watch the day accumulate,,,,, I didn't know this website exsisted maybe I would have quit sooner. Juju stxs have been my salvation and this website...................I wish everybody who smokes can find the freedom from the need of nicotine. Jules

Thank you...Jim for your feedback.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you want to know something really weird, is I can imagine the smell of smoke so clear, its as though someone is smoking near me.............I guess when you do something for 32 years,,,,,,,,,memories are going to linger.......sometimes I forget that I used to smoke, and sometimes I forget that I quit, and I look around for my cigarettes that aren't there...........sometimes I forget that my head is attatched to my body, and I think I am floating on an astral plane................whatever......lol..........I didn't smoke today.

something about seeing my stats on this forum, makes me smile...............

jules - Free and Healing for Twenty Eight Days, 19 Hours and 2 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 1 Day and 23 Hours, by avoiding the use of 576 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me $187.38.

I am so happy, I have to pinch myself, to remind myself that this is real..........I am nicotine free for 28 days......holy cow. Keeping the quit, one day at a time, with this website and juju stxs.
