I just can’t believe that I quit smoking. It has been a month now. I still crave but not as bad as in the beginning.
Boy like everyone who has quit, things do taste better by ten pounds now. Better to have to lose the weight than smoking. The good thing is which helped me is, people smoking doesn’t bother me at all.
I was figuring out how long I had been a smoker wow 43 years. I was knock over by how long I had been smoking.
I must say that I had help this time. It is from the doctor and it worked great for me and my husband. It is a prescription it’s called Chantix.
I can’t say enough about it and that it did work for me.
So it just feels so good not having to wash down walls and repaint ceilings every 6months to a year.
I was a really bad three pack a day smoker . Now I eat candy canes and peppermints. Keep me in your prayer that I never start again that is my biggest fear right now. But so far so good on fighting the urge.
I can’t wait for June my grandson is coming to visit for a couple of weeks. He has been on my case for years to stop. He is going to be very happy.
Well thanks for hearing me out about smoking.
:yay::woohoo::balloons:
Well done that is a brillent achivement. Good luck for the next few months. You can do it 
Just think you can use the money on more yarn!
Congratulations!!! My sister used to smoke and has stopped recently too. I think she has not smoked for a month or two. A couple I’m guessing. But, yes, what a big achievement!!! I bet it not an easy thing to do either!
That’s fantastic! Congratulations!
It seems like knitting would help too since it keeps your hands busy.
[FONT=Century Gothic]Congratulations!!!:cheering::cheering::cheering:[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]I’ve read in several places that it takes about three months for something to become a habit (eating well, exercise, whatever), so once you make that three-month mark, you should be very well set! A month is a fantastic achievement, though, considering how powerful nicotine addiction is [I]and[/I] how much you smoked. I imagine all of your daily activities were punctuated by a cigarette–talk about a hard habit to break! But you did it! :woot:[/FONT]

to you![/FONT]
Congratulations! I understand how difficult those initial steps must have been! My mom stopped smoking when I was a teenager. She chewed lots of bubble gum. Your grandson will certainly be surprised!!
Congratulations!!! Don’t feel bad about putting on a little weight. I gained too when I quit, but have since lost that and some. I’m going on 1 year 8 months smoke free!
Keep it up! I’m so happy for you!!!
That’s wonderful!
congratulations!
have you been to quitnet.com?
it lets you keep track of how much money per second you haven’t spent on filthy tar (all the better to spend it on yarn…), by how long you’ve increased your life expectancy, etc. - automatic moral support.
yay for you!
Yup the urge is still there and I fight it every day. I think that this is my time to stop. I refuse to light up even in my mind it will only be one puff. ya right so I am just going day to day. I am going to be smoke free for the rest of my life and have fun spending on yarn!!!
CONGRADULATIONS
Good for you!!! I have also quit and I am on Chantix .What a miracle drug this is.It’s been 2 weeks for me and my husband.
CONGRATS TO YOU!!:cheering:
I also quit 28 days and counting :happydancing:
Three packs a day holy Jesus! Even here that would buy you 2 balls of DB Cashmerino or something equally sinful. Well done and don’t give in to those ‘just one puff’ urges! If you’re anything like me you don’t enjoy them once you actually have them… just want them when you don’t have them. Feel free to update us further!
Sarah
good for you- each of you that has quit! my hubby quit after we got married and I know how tough it can be. Stay strong!
Congratulations!! Keep it up!!
Congratulations! My father and my husband were both long-time smokers and have both quit - my father quit when I was about 10, I think, and I’m now 44 - and my husband quit some time before we met, so that’s probably 10 years and more. It’s doable! But I understand it’s very, very hard - so you should feel extremely proud of yourself! (And you’ll be around longer to keep feeling proud, too!:cheering:)
Congratulations!!! :cheering::cheering::cheering:
Keep it up and do stuff instead - eat vegetables - it’s better to have a carot inyour hand than a cigarette. I myself quit a little time ago, though i wasn’t much of a smoker. Believe me - it feels better now.
Congratulations! 
This is amazing! What an accomplishment! Keep it up! :cheering: If you need any encouraging words, we’re here for ya!
