The problem is that the "healing" happens soooooo slowly that you don't realize that it is actually happening until some event happens in your life and it just clicks in your brain that; OMG, I have turned the corner on this smoking thing!

I hope you're sharing Sslip ?

Hopefully you are feeling better now PQ89 as the above responses have been honest and pretty much covered your original question. This quitting smoking this is tuff - no question but, with steadfast personal commitment. education about nicotine addiction and support of others in the same position as you are in, it is VERY doable! It's a process that takes time. It won't happen overnight but IT WILL HAPPEN! Just don't smoke - Not One Puff Ever (NOPE) is all you have to live be each day. You have a nice quit going now but you are still learning coping tools so embrace that part of your quit. Fight those strong cravings because they will not be plaguing you much longer. I am 1 year and a bit quit. Do I still think about smoking - yes I do but as Jillar said it's not a craving but merely a fleeting thought. It might be 3 months, it might be 5 or 6 months but there will come a time when you just know you have all the power over this addiction Just don't smoke!

Just got finished signing what seemed like 100 documents for selling our house and making an offer on a new house in a different community. The next month or 3 are gonna be interesting. I can only hope things fall in line timing wise! Could get stressful at times I suppose. At least I don't have to worry about going out for a smoke every time things go a little off the rails

Hoping for a positive outcome for you Ren! You've got too much invested to go backward now. These moments happen to us all. It's a matter of how we respond that makes the difference. Hoping you stood strong on your quit

8 Months Smoke Free is fantastic Sparkzzz! You've been on the train here for awhile now. I bet you can see that light at the end of the tunnel getting closer and closer.

That's right folks! 74th anniversary of D-Day today, June 6, 2018. Allied forces assault on Nazi Germany that helped turned the tide of WWII but at a horrendous cost in human lives. Proud to be Canadian today as we gave 5,000 lives that day and another 14,000 casualties in the pursuit of the freedoms we all enjoy today! Well done lads! May you rest in peace now and forever and, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice.
