IslandGirl - you are correct - I am there with this quit. It's my time. There is no doubt in my mind. Nicotine will not win - I will. Thanks for all the support everyone.

I'd wake up in the morning go out on the deck and smoke two butts. I'd go in grab the coffe cuz it would be ready after two butts, and go out and smoke another 2. Then I'd head in and grab a shower and get dressed, head to the deck smoke another one. Make myself a cup of coffee to go and head for the truck. Drive in to work, smoke at least 4 cigarettes. Never drove without one in my hand, ever. Get to work smoke at least 2 before I head in. Folks, It's not even 8 a/m. at this point and I would have already smoked at least half a pack! During work, break at least once an hour and smoke 2. Smoke at least 4 at lunch. 4 or 5 more on the way home, head. Get home say hello, just finished a smoke in the truck but head out to the deck and smoke another one or two depending on the day. Go in have some supper, out to the deck right after for at least 2. Sit down and watch TV, every commercial break go grab a quick smoke, 2 or 3 right before I went to bed, and if I woke up at night, I'd smoke 2 or 3 then as well. I'm telling you all - I was hard core, really. 35 is actually low for some days. There were days I'd go through 3 pack of cigarettes. I kid you not, I am not making this stuff up. If I can stop - anyone can stop.

Hello all - I hit the one month mark today. Look at my meter. I was a hard core smoker. I've been smoke free for one month now and I'm still going strong. I feel great. I've dealt with some pretty strong urges but they pass. I've felt myself getting worked up and angry, but I've talked to myself and told myself it's an irrational response based on a chemical that's messing with my mind, and I didn't blow up. I got through it. I haven't lost any friends, I haven't caused myself any problems at home, things are going well. I guess this quit is different because I own this one. Smoking was my problem, not the problem of those around me. I'm doing it for myself this time. This time I've chosen to deal with my issues as an adult and not project my feelings or moods onto others as I go through this. Sure, I've asked for help, but in a nice way, and I've received it in abundance. One month and going strong. See you all at the beach!
