Gimm, congrats on 1/2 trip around the sun, smoke free of course!  I'm so happy to see you reach this milestone!  And you're right, if only we had urge to quit years ago we'd be so much better off.  But you know what?  You had the urge 6 months ago, and its still working!  Enjoy your smoke free vacation!  Here's to the next smoke free six months, and beyond!

I'm glad you're feeling great! Quitting smoking is a self-esteem builder--not to mention a health builder. Since each quit is different, we don't know if we would have been able to quit in the past. If so, why didn't we? I read a slogan somewhere recently that says something like, Have no regrets. What could have been is as hidden from us as what will be. All we know is what is, one day a a time.  If I start smoking again, I'm not assured that I'll be able to quit again. It took me twenty years to get this amount of time again. I also know that one of the reasons it may have taken so long to quit is because I really didn't want to quit. I just knew I needed to quit and had to quit. Nicotine causes insanity. If I smoke again I may become convinced again that I enjoy it. In any case, let's not play with fire. Let's just keep accumulating days. Doing so is like accumulating security.

Well i'm a little over a week away from 6 months!  Wow, how fast the time has went.  Things are going extremely easy for me now, I NEVER want a cig.  That makes me so happy!  I never thought the day would come when i didnt want one.  Newbies hang in there, it really does get easier with time.  I finally feel free of cigs.  Only regret is i didn't stop years ago.  I had an easier time quitting with this quit.  Last time i tried to quit i had major sleeping problems.  This time i've had none!  The only thing that bothered me with this quit was gas lol  It's finally back to normal.  I can smell and taste so much better now.  I have a little bit more energy.  I never had a cough or breathing problems, so that hasnt changed. I did gain some weight but i have most of it off now.  Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement!!   
 
Best Wishes
Gimm
