Thanks so much!!  I can't believe it's been 9 months.  The months are just flying by! Onward to number 10. I feel totally different now than when I first quit.  It's definitely not as difficult now. I don't get very many urges anymore, but when I do they are just for a few seconds and then they are gone.

You know the old saying "What a difference a day makes", well, for ex-smokers it's "what a difference several months makes", and it's so true!  All of you helped me so much to get to this point, and I am so thankful and grateful. Only ex smokers know what a newly quit smoker is going through.  Today I was in a shopping center and there was a woman outside of a store smoking a cigarette, I thought to myself wow, that used to be me. Anytime I could grab a smoke, I would be out there, always looking for a place to smoke, and when I couldn't find a place I started to panic.  Did any of you feel that way and panic? Back when I smoked and my husband and I would go on vacation, I would always look for a hotel that had a balcony, because it would be easier to smoke than having to go down the elevator and out into the street. I do love balconies, but for different reasons now.    Also, since most of my friends don't smoke, when I would see them, I would load up on the breath mints/gum and perfume because I wouldn't want them to tell me that I smelled from smoke and offend them.  Although, I tried very hard not to.  Did all of you go through this when you smoked?

 

As I mentioned in my previous post, I do get the urge once in a while and I do miss it, but it only lasts a few seconds and it's gone.  I am looking forward to the day where I get no urges and don't miss it at all!!

 

Anyway, thanks again friends!!!  Now, girls, let's go beat the guys in Chicks and Sticks!! LOL!!!😁

Congratulations QG! 9 months quit is awesome. I experienced a lot of what you mentioned when I used to smoke. We always considered our habit over everything. It affected our choices on everything. I hope that you had fun celebrating today.

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.
