You don't need to make promises to us, Sunshine. You owe us nothing. However, I find that to recover I need to be able to keep promises I make to myself, that I need that discipline. Quitting takes discipline.

Wow...you guys are the best.  I really don't have anyone that I can use as my support system here.  The one's I had as my support aren't any longer.  They say they don't believe I'm quitting for good this time because that is what I said last time and I ended started back up so I am always reading everyone else's posts when times get tough to pull me through.
 
I want to send a sincere "thank you" and all the best to the rest of you going through your individual journeys!

Good for you, Sunshine! As you get more and more recovery, those craves will get farther and farther apart. You will start to atomatically say N.O.P.E., so quitting really will get a lot less tedious.

Go for it Sunshine!! You have people thinking of you and supporting you all over the world..even way down here in New Zealand...Push on through that first week week and when you come out the other side you will be on your way.
I found drinking water and going for a walk really helpful. Every time a thought of smoking enters your mind just smile and realise its the death throes of the nictotine monster. You are doing it!!!!

Sung to the appropriate Sunshine tune. Groans and moans are okay.
 
You are our Sunshine
Our determined Sunshine
You will pull through this
Cause we are with you
Sunshine you'll be just fine
 
Sunshine, at the first sign of any oogy feelings you are to sing this song.....even if it's under your breath. Maybe it should be but when you sing it think of your strength and the collective arms here giving you a big hug.
