Welcome Tiffany & congratulations on your decision to stop smoking. I'm not that far along in my quit--but so far there isn't a day that has passed that I am thankful that I am a Non-smoker.. Work the tools, read as much as you can on what has helped others here--& what you can probably expect. The one thing that has helped me greatly is to frequently remind myself NOPE--Not One Puff Ever... If that first puff is allowed--in no time it's back to a pack & 1/2 a day--wishing I weren't a smoker. Try not thinking ahead too far--one minute, one hour , one day at a time. You can DO THIS.... ;) Deb [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/1/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 44 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,320 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $297.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 50 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

Well today is Day 6 for me! I had planned to quit years and years ago but you know something always comes up. I'm having some pretty strong cravings and feel if I could just have one I'd be o.k. but I know that is the demon talking. I smoked for 15 years. I'm 33 and I am a single mom to an 8 year old daughter. Just wanted to tell you a bit about myself!!
