Most all of what was posted but the two big things were my morning coffee on the porch or when I was driving (I always "enjoyed" smoking while on the road). I seemed to have gotten past all those but I still stay on guard!!!

^^^^^^^ Boo I could not have said it better -- Spot On. Thank you!!!!!

3 months is awesome Ankush. Congrats and better take a little time to celebrate -- you have gotten thru the terrible three's now!!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still here and still going strong!!!!!!

Fantastic job on the 3 year mark -- Congrats!!!!

Linda -- 11 months so soon and look at all the good you have done (not only for yourself but others). Those lights on the Lido deck should be getting pretty bright now. Seriously take some time to celebrate today then start that countdown to the Lido deck!!!!

I am also on the fence on this one. Could it be too far or should we be leaving the choice to the individual. We could then use other means as education, financial, and not promoting in advertising to apply pressure. There is individual choice but how far should government go!!!!

Abby, 6 months already great job. Congrats and remember to take a little time to celebrate today!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^^^ This is a step you will have to focus on as it comes up and really fight the crave. The good thing is that you are aware of that major crave, what needs to be done now is how to educate yourself and there is a lot of information on this site that can help. When that crave comes on take a few minutes to really think about it, take a walk, or better yet come to this site and post a "SOS" like what you done today then wait and read the replies. Sometimes just letting people know you are having a hard time can help you focus more and the feedback you get will try and help you get thru the crave. It is a hard one but if you commit and seek advice you can get thru this!!!!

Reading this was an eye opener on a couple of the points and I actually bought into a couple of them when I was a smoker. I am kind of ashamed to admit that when I was younger I kind of fell into the "we all have to die of something" myth so why not smoking -- some of the stupid things that I did. Anyway I have quit and my eyes are opened to what smoking really does -- help keeps me grounded!!!
