Hey JMK!!!
 
      You really ARE kicking some serious demon ash!!!  Way to go, buddy!!!  I've read about your growing stash and I can tell you that it IS a great motivator!  I have a nice 55" LED TV and laptop from the savings I have achieved!  Be sure to reward yourself frequently, too!!!  Those little bits of happiness keep the brain happy and the demon away, too!!!  You're doing great!

JMK, I hope it's getting better and easier for you now. I'm on Day 5 today and have done pretty well except for a slip yesterday but I know this is going to be really hard...I feel the demon breathing down my neck as well.

You're doing GREAT JMK ! Remember that what you are feeling is your body renewing itself, healing itself now that it is no longer under assault from cigarette after cigarette after cigarette. Celebrate that JMK it is a Beautiful thing.
 
I wish you all the best !

JMK,

Congrats on your 11 days of smoke free living! What have you found to be the most surprising aspect of your quit so far? What was the most challenging? What was the most rewarding?

Please keep us posted.
