Amazing-It's working!

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 219

MyLast, Thanks for the inspiration and something to look forward to! I'm still working on my first week, and after 4 days I'm finally able to put my mental dukes down a little. So glad to hear that it gets better soon! Taking it one day at a time (and even enjoying parts of it:) mk [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/11/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 4 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 60 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $14.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 35 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

That's awesome mylast. It's sort of like having a 60lb weight off your back. I never realized how much I thought about smoking until I quit. It actually strengthened my resolve though because now I had all that room to think about other, better things! Congrats on nearly a MONTH!

I wish I could explain how much better it gets. It is amazing how little I think of smoking and how nothing the thought of smoking is to me. I'm not foolish enough to think I can stop fighting it, but I take a lot of comfort and encouragement from the progress that's made everyday.

At the beginning of the quit, you are almost constantly thinking about it. At about one month, I found that when a trigger came along, it wasn't automatic - it gets delayed. I still have many smoking thoughts throughout the day, but they are just that - a thought that pass through, and then is gone. You are doing great! You're right, it does get better.

Great post MYLAST! I think that you will find as time goes on, it will take longer and longer before you have a smoking thought! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 486 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 14,580 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �3,645.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 78 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46

Most amazingly, this morning I woke up and my first thought wasn't about smoking. I did though think about how I didn't think about one on the way to work. Huh! You understand? It does get better Newbies!
