Oh Abby, I also was so ashamed of smoking. I felt like such a weakling because I could not quit and knew that I was going to die of a smoking related illness. I promise you that you will gain so much power as your quit keeps going and then one day, it is not even a thought. You are doing great. Keep that quit going.!

Welcome Steve. I smoked for 42 years and never thought I could quit. There is something magical about this forum. The support I received here helped me make it to the finish line. The first week is the most difficult and then it is a matter of changing your thinking. Learn to power yourself through the craves and you will find you will get stronger and stronger. So let's keep this quit going because life improves so much after quitting. Stay close to the forum and shout out when you need us. We are here for you!

Yes, I had them in the beginning of my quit. It amazed me how realistic they were. I am now over a year quit and I do not have them anymore. I don't quite remember when they disappeared.

Vivianne, thanks for sharing your story. I grew up in a nonsmoking home. Smoking to me was just a "Hey look at me, I am an adult". It should have been "Hey look at me, what an idiot". I continued to smoke for 42 years. I even made my husband quit, after the kids were born, because he needed to be healthy to support us. What a hypocrite I was because I couldn't quit. I know he wanted me to but never shamed me. He is thrilled that I have found the strength to quit through this forum. Now I try not to look back. I only want to look forward to the time I will, hopefully, recoup. I am so glad I can be a part of your journey to freedom. I look forward to celebrating your many smokeless, days, months and years!!!!!

Stewie, I was sorry when you left. You did add so much to the forum. I don't think you offended anyone, at least not me. I think I could tell you were struggling and wished that you would stay so we could help . I am so glad you have kept your quit and found your way back. Know we are not only her to help you keep your quit, we are your friends and care!

Boy Vivianne, you are doing great. Quitting smoking and still being a morning person!!!!

Congratulations Wansit. I am so glad you are smoke free and doing great. You were a big part of my quit also. I remember sharing in your journey. Looking forward to partying with you and celebrating your years quit!
