Kittycat- way to go on one week. It really does start getting better so hang in there!
I realized today was 2 years and 8 months cigarette free for me. I am so grateful to be quit. It took me so many tries to get here but I refused to give up. It amazes me to think that 3 years is around the corner... As long as I just keep not smoking for one day at a time.

24 more for me. I'm in a really wretched mood but I know smoking never made anything better and I really don't want to smoke when I feel bad anymore. But I do remember when I would turn to cigarettes when I felt bad.
I still romance the idea of getting drunk to drown out my problems though. Part of me thinks how I'd like to drown out my sorrows. But I also know what a recipe for disaster that would be. I know from experience that when I feel bad there is not enough booze in the world to make me feel better.

You can do this Yazzy.
24 more for me!
I am grateful to be able to put in solid time at work and never even think about wanting to get up and take a break for a cigarette. I can remember when smoking controlled me and there was no way I could work all afternoon without having to go smoke several times. It took some time to get to where I didn't think about it at all, but now I feel free from that horrible addiction.

I'm with you DG. I work close to home and I was taking breaks and going home for a cigarette in the middle of the day. Haven't had to do that in nearly 4 months. It was more of a compulsion than something that relaxed me anyway.
