I am so excited to post this morning. I made it ONE MONTH. 

 

It has been quite the journey. I have had to hide out in my bed, not respond to my phone, say no to going out with friends - anything to not smoke. And I have freedom back in my life, I am not constantly trying to sneak out of work for a smoke, I do not spend my days in withdraw, I do not smell anymore. I still have days where I can feel the demon - where I think I could just buy a pack and feel "normal" but I know there is nothing normal about smoking and the feelings I have are from an addiction not a friend. 

 

As I enter my second month - I hope to feel more confident in my quit - I want to join my friends at the bar etc. - but. I have learned from my years of smoking and many attempted quits - my quit is a baby and needs my attention and nurturing. - As it grows in days and time - I will be stronger. 

 

But for today can I just say YAY - ONE MONTH - it has been years since I have had a month smoke free!!

I am SO happy for you !  Congratulations on your First Month of Freedom, @HeatherDianne !

 

You are doing exactly right by protecting your quit, it is young and precious and needs everything you are right now.

Soon, more and more benefits will be forthcoming.

Confidence in yourself and confidence in your quit are just a matter of short time.

You will soon have a profound trust in yourself, you have stopped poisoning yourself with nicotine and smoke.  

 

Please remember to continue to reward yourself for every milestone and every crave/trigger conquered.

Your brain is being re-calibrated and providing rewards is part of the process.

 

So happy you are with us.

Congratulations HeatherDianne.  Isn't it an awesome feeling.  Know that you will continue to get more power in your quit.  Just keep thinking how wonderful it is to not be chained to those death sticks.  Your quit is still pretty young, but eventually these situations will not bother your.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
