Mercy,
I've been hanging around for a little while now, reading and reading.
I'm not surprised at all that you have made it to a year! The things you have shared that have helped you stay smokefree have really been helpful to this 'lurker'
Congrats!
Thanks for all your wisdom!

Yippee ... It doesn't feel like 30 days have passed by already. When I look at my stats and see the money that hasn't 'gone up in smoke' it feels GOOD! Plus, because hubby also quit we get to double that!
Thanks for all the good wishes.
We did reward ourselves today ... won't say how. (wink wink!!)

Just finished watching the show and I agree ... very similar to our quit program.
I am so glad I caught the show. It really reinforced my decision. Those lungs looked NASTY and when they showed that one woman how she will age as a smoker ... yuck!
Loved what that actor said about hanging on for just one more day. That's where I am at today. I've had those crazy thoughts but will not smoke today. Cause I know that they pass!

What I've been finding the last week or so is that I really just want to be left alone. I can't be bothered with answering the phone ... I just let the machine pick up. I have no desire to see people. All I want to do is just hang out with my hubby (who is my quit buddy) and to heck with the rest of the world. Oh yeah, I'm also OK with the 2 year old I care for four days a week but that's it.
I am feeling really blah and ambivilent.
Did this happen to any of you guys?

Thanks for the validation.
So many times when I've reached this place in my previous quits I've said screw it. This time I'm going to give myself permission to feel whatever it is I am feeling and know that it will pass.
I am feeling a little guilty about the way I seem to be ignoring people but it "is what it is" and when this passes I will make it up to them. (Not a lot of people know that I've quit. I didn't make a big announcement this time cause ... well, I could just see the eyes a-rolling!)
