Hey Gabby. Welcome back! Good practice quit. Quitting is a journey not an event. You can absolutely do it. Keep reading, keep posting, and work out why you reach for the ciggie...once you know why, you can remove those reasons. 5 days is a great start! Well done you.

Today, I am sneaking off for early golf before work... Using some of the energy gifted to me by cutting out the smothering, choking effects of cigarettes. So, today I am going to shout Not One Puff Ever! [and...FORE!] Who will join me?

Welcome back Mason. Keep reading and keep posting!

3 months! 3 whole months! Absolutely fantastic. You are a classy act Marti. Congratulations!

Great work Rowly! Well done.

RWW! Congratulations. Excellent work.

I quit on vacation. As my cigarettes were running low, and I was reading the AC book, I brought the date forward. I tried to plan it to finish my last cigarette at bedtime. Predictably, I then subconsciously tried to sabotage the plan, by having 10 left as I neared the end of the book and bedtime! So, I sat on the terrace of the room, reading a page, smoking a cigarette. read another page, smoke another cigarette, until I got through the pack. Then I went to bed and woke up a non smoker.

Yep. That happens. But, you decided that you don't smoke any more. So, there will be some cravings, but they become fewer and fewer and less noticeable every day that you do not smoke. Cravings are caused by smoking. Stop smoking and you stop the cravings. Keep on keeping on Rowly. The craving will pass.
