There's something very powerful about talking to someone who hears exactly what you're saying and has been in your shoes. Something I said to myself a lot in the beginning was, Smoking is not an option. Once i had taken the weed out of the picture I was left to find some other way to deal with the moment. The folks around here are amazing, as you can see [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]9/9/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 550 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 22,000 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $11,000.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 50 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

I come back to this site from time to time to see how many smokes I have not smoked. As I look at some of the people that have quit longer than I and the others that have quit for less time than I have, I get a sense of pride in myself and all of you out there. It really is the best gift we can ever give ourselves and our loved ones. Congratulations all!

Hi, IceBlue, and welcome to the site... lots of great advice here already for you, I see... use your glove box part of the programme... it really helps a lot. I couldn't have survived my quit without coming in here for support everyday since I quit.

[IMG]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc51/pollyepierce/congratulations/SSC%20%20%20smoking/welcomeWHT.gif[/IMG] This site is a wonderful place to quit. I have recieved so much support I feel like I owe my quit to the people who helped me along. For me quitting after 40+ yrs was a real learning process. I really had not done anything since I was 13 years old without the presence of nicotine in my system. It is pretty frightening to find yourself 60 years old and realize you are an addict. Knowledge is power and quitting makes you powerful. I was taught by members of this site how to quit. Drink lots of water and cleanse your system. Think positive and quit because you want to. I know you need to or maybe have to but wanting to gives you the power. You can do anything you want to.
