Hello and Welcome Roland! Stick around, you will love it here :)

Congratulations!

Happy Birthday!

Can't wait for this :)

Great post Marti! Smoking is crazy.

Nope, I will not smoke.

Wow! yep, Monster Quit:)

I had decided that I was going to face all my triggers head on: Drink my coffee without smoking - check Visit with the smokers on their smoke breaks - check Talk on the phone - check And yes Beacon, even drive my car - check. I really didn't have a problem with any of those. But stress, now that's a whole different ballgame. By the 7th inning, I'll have it outta the park :)

Thanks Ross, I guess stressful days will always come along, and family problems. But dealing with them as a non-smoker is new to me, and that's ok, :)

Thanks Marti and Chrispy. I'm hanging on - smoking is NOT an option for me. No matter what happens or what that almost sleeping demon says. Isn't it crazy how the thoughts just pop up out of (seemingly) no where? A smoking thought is just that, a thought. It passes and passes much quicker once I realize what caused it. I control what my body does :)

It's been pretty much smooth sailing for me - until today. I have had thoughts of smoking all dang day! And let me tell you, those thoughts were wearing me out. I went to whyquit.com and started reading. Ta - Da! I needed to sit back and reflect on my life these past few days. Anything going on? new? Different? Stress! I was stressed out about a problem that a family member is having (it also affects me). And of course as a smoker the first thing I would have done is smoke. I'm so glad I realized that this was a trigger that I had to face and do it without smoking. And I did :) (No worries -If my thoughts on smoking would have been anywhere near relapse territory - I would have posted an sos.)

Congratulations! You've got this :)

That must feel Awesome- I can't wait to get to that corner too! :)

Thanks for posting this! I needed to hear this as well. Always good to hear that the struggle is ALWAYS worth it!

Way to go Joe!

Nope for me!

(((Nancy))) Hope today is better.

Oh wow, just beautiful! I have never seen a white squirrel. We do see (rarely) black ones here though.

Welcome Renee! Congats on the quit and I think you will like it here.

Sounds like you are meeting your challenges head on AND not smoking :) Glad Granny is out of hospital and doing well. We learn rather quickly how to deal with life as non-smokers, and find out it's not so bad. In fact it's pretty darn awesome! Keep going, you are doing great :) Sandy

Congratulations girl! Thanks so much for being such a big help to me on my smoke-free journey! You are a gem :)

Congratulations!

10 Months! Congratulations and thank you for always being here to help those of us following in your foot steps! You're awesome :)

Nope, no stinkin' cigs for me :)

Love this post! Thanks for giving me a hint of things to come :) You are doing great!
