Doreen.
Yea I am down to 99 times a day and additionally one piece of hard candy each time I walk out a door.
I do seem to have more conviction for this quit to be permanent than the last and am extremely enthusiastic about not smoking. The wonderful thoughts that I am a non smoker are so beautiful.
Even though I am a newbie. I do have the memory of being clean from the last quit. every time i would light up over the last couple years I would look at that burning death stick and be disgusted... but still smoke it because I believed my perfect quit date was approaching, this date of course never showed up. The only way for me to start was to just decide that day was never coming and the battle must start and it must start now !! I threw away half of the carton I had left, actually dumped them in a bucket of water and stirred it like a witches brew.
Those sneaky craves drop in unexpectedly... they can be fairly powerful with an additional thought of JUST HAVE ONE!!!
What a milestone, nicely done Doreen.
