Thanks for all the help on this one. Not sure if i'm going to launch it knowing that I have to put IM on my computer (probably not acceptable at work) but I appreciate the info. Thanks again!

Congrats on Day 3! You are now realizing that it may be tough and probably the most difficult thing you have had to do in your life, but you know it is do-able! Hang in there, and remember NOPE.
Read lots on here, post and reward yourself often. This is a great site for support, encouragement and motivation. Go through the workbook on here and make a list of the reasons why you don't want to be a smoker and keep it with you.
Stay on here as much as you need, it was one of the best things for me in the first few weeks of my quit.
Make sure you plan a nice reward for day 3!

Just wanted to check in with the November quitters and see how everyone is doing. I had a few tough days over the holidays, so I'm happy to get back into a regular routine, even if that means working the next 2 days until the weekend!
Moss and CrazyCuban, how are you doing? Hope you are doing well with your quit and that it is getting easier. Don't forget to reward yourself even if you already got spoiled by your family and friends. It is so important to remember to reward yourself! Isn't it amazing to be a non-smoker? I really can't think of a better way to live my life. I'll have to look back to see who posted this but I love this quote: I would rather be a non-smoker occasionally thinking of smoking, than a smoker constantly thinking of quitting!
Thanks to Aloha for suggesting a name for the November quitters! All your help is appreciated.
Keep the Quit!!!!!

Hi Moss, yes so far I have a good attitude and I hope that part of me sticks around. I contribute a lot of my positive attitude to all the changes I am currently making in my life as well as to Allen Carr. I think understanding what a true monster nicotine is, has made all the difference in the world. I would recommend his books to anyone. (good thing I had purchased them, before my quit date!)
I am glad to see you are hanging in there. Although it feels really good to be proud of yourself it also feels good to be proud of others that are going through the same thing. I hope you are enjoying your quit so far. Isn't it nice now that the worst is over and we can actually enjoy our normal lives but without smoking!
Sorry to hear about your internet access. I'll make sure not to worry about your quit and try to remember that you may not have immediate access to SSC. I am sure that the cravings are just that..cravings. Going this far just makes me realize that it can be done and it is much easier for those cravings to go away than it was in the beginning. Maybe we need to find new distractions or rewards to keep the quit!
Isn't it nice not to worry that New Year's is coming up and you don't have to make a quit smoking resolution? I know I will enjoy ringing in the New Year as a Non-smoker!
Take Care,

Arm yourself with some ice cold water, carrot sticks, hard candies, gum and whatever else it takes for you to not smoke. It really does get easier each and every day but focus on one day at a time. This website and all its participants are proof that it is do-able no matter who you are. Read through the workbook, post, read and reward.
Congrats on making a wonderful decision, it will probably be the best one you'll ever make.
Have a great 2008 as a Non-Smoker!
