David has 30 days!!!

Great news on 30 days, this is a wonderful thing that you are doing for yourself, keep with it, soon your work will become a matter of habit. Once you have established the habit of not smoking, it gets much easier in those times when the junkie comes calling. Stay well my friend and move always "further up and further in"... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 276 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,280 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,898.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 50 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 1

Starter here... I will make it!!!!!!!!

boomer38 You are SO SO SO RIGHT about the water...Water does it everytime...In the early days I, like you had a bottle with me always. There is something to the need for water and desire for a cigarette...I ma glad that you have gotten hold of this idea early on. It will serve you well...For the most part we are dehydrated most of the time in any case, we just don't realize it unless our body is screaming for water.... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 285 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,550 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,992.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 52 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54

I'm going to quit

Xena Here is the secret to this...I understand that your life is stressful and that smoking appears to be a way of releiving some of the stress. BUT the fact is that stress is us responding to needs...We NEED to get this done, or we NEED to get that accomplished, or we NEED to be in a certain place at a certain time...This is all very real and a part of our lives...However, the secret is that smoking does not diminish the sress caused by having so many NEEDS in our lives. No in point of fact smoking adds to our stress by creating another NEED...That is the NEED to smoke. The act of smoking does not reduce the stress created by all of the other NEEDS in our lives, it becomes another NEED and due to the addictive nature of nicotine a NEED that will not be put off...So in the end this idea that smoking relieves stress is a part of the addictive trap that we have all fallen into. The fact is that when you quit, you will have reduced the stress in your life by many fold...Remember, as soon as you take a drag of a cigarette, you are starting the clock...As the nicotine goes through its half life, the clock ticks down and down and down, until it is zero hour again and then you NEED to smoke...This means that you will drop all of the other NEEDS and run to the alter of the tobacco industry to do your hourly tribute...End the addiction and you will have destressed your life in an amazing way... Good Luck to you... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 285 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,550 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,992.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 52 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 32
