Consider this a bump! This is too good a post to be lost in an "unbumpable" thread.
Thanks stickin, I love this post and all new quitters coming here should be aware of your experience.
This is what 'stickin to it' posted
"To You,
I am at the point in my quit, some 240 days, that the act of smoking has become a distance memory. To forget the memories of smoking is what I consider part of the quit goals, not to forget that I once smoked.
With the fading of the memories there goes the fading of those triggers and peace is instilled. I know, I don�t need or want to smoke. My last serious urge came around my fifth month of quit, a trigger came out of nowhere and I had to stop what I was doing and take up another activity.
I�m not feeling any urges anymore at all and haven�t for a couple of months. Today I am a non-smoker, and wonder why I didn�t quit so much earlier. If you stay with the program you will be happy, self confident, and a healthier individual. I am glad that you came to this site. It shows that you have the desire, and with that desire come hope, and that yes, yes, it can be done. Look around. How can so many succeed. It is their will to succeed, their can do, want to, will do positive attitude and actions.
Good luck to all of you on your journey. Think positive and the quit will be yours always!"
