My vote went to Johnny Cash. I usually prefer the original to the cover but not in this case. Trent Reznor has done some great, challenging and thought-provoking stuff and I know this song was very personal to him but watching Johnny Cash cover this is pretty amazing.

Romanticizing the cigarette is a tough thing to let go of. Just know, as your signature says... If you have just one you will be right back where you started, and where you started was desperately wishing you were where you are right now. PS For me, there is no such thing as "Just One". This is so true. It will not be just one cigarette. It will lead to more ...and... You may think that cigarette will calm you down but it will not. It will just feed your nicotine craving and will restart the process of smoking to relive the crave. You will also feel bad for losing your quit. It is a vicious cycle and it is best to break it once and for all. It might not feel like it but you are doing great, Michelle. Keep fighting. You can do this.

Good job posting an SOS and fighting through those craves, Michelle. Each time you fight through a strong crave, it is a victory and it makes your quit stronger.

You are making it through the toughest stages of your quit, Michelle. Celebrate each hour that passes smoke free. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations Richard!

That is awesome, Diane! Keep up the great work!

NOPE - smoking sucks!

Welcome to QuitTrain, hellkat. You are making a very wise decision by putting cigarettes behind you forever. Post and ramble all you want if it helps. Do whatever you need to do as long as you don't smoke. You will find lots of support and knowledge here.

The mornings were tough for me too, Kate, but things did get better. You are doing a great job of expressing what you are experiencing. That helps you better understand what you are going through and also helps others early in their quits. Keep doing this as I believe it will help you. Also, congratulations on making it to day 2. These early milestones really are huge and I hope you realize that. Just keep taking it one day at a time and you will get there.
