I saw a posting by Anxioux1 yesterday with her at 364 days:  I guess that means today is 365 days smoke free!!!  Congratulations on reaching the 365 day mark!  I am going to guess that there is leap year involved, but I think today is also One Year Smoke Free Eve!!!  Happy early One Year Smoke Free!  No matter how the numbers work; congratulations on this huge milestone!  I hope you have a nice reward planned to celebrate this milestone!  Here's to the next 365 days, and beyond!!

2 days and counting

Reyes, I am so glad you made the decision to quit.  Congratulations on 2 days smoke free!  Now, be sure to fill out all of the questionaires on this site to give you a sense of where you are and what actions you need to take.  Are you going to use an NRT like Chantix or patches or are you going cold turkey?  Put together a reward system for yourself as every day you don't smoke deserves a reward!  Drink lots of iced water, take long walks, know your triggers and avoid them if necessary, at least the first couple weeks.  Post often!  Read past posts to see how others survive the first week of not smoking.  We're all here rooting for your success!!!

Fag Ash Lil is Cruisin' ! ! !

lil, so glad to hear from you!  And congratulations on reaching 50 days smoke free!  Enjoy the beach!  Wiggle your feet in the sand.  Order a fancy drink from the cabana boy, and take in all that you have accomplished.  I know it has been tough, but anything worthwhile in life is worth the fight.  I am happy that you are still fighting!  Please be sure to reward yourself for achieving this 50 day milestone!  Welcome back!

Happy Anniversary to me!!

Hip Hip Hooray!  Hip Hip Hooray!  Congratulations on reaching one year!  Don't you just love subtle peer pressure?  Now I'm not talking about the kind of "hey buddy, want a cigarette?"  I'm talking about "hey, look at my quit meter.  Look at my stats!"  I'm looking at your stats, and I want the same numbers one day!  Now thats good peer pressure!  LOL!  Frosty, you're an inspiration to all of us!  I hope you have a wonderful reward planned to celebrate!

Q4G, I'm so glad you have decided to quit smoking and join us at SSC!  You've been given some good advice.  The best part is that we aren't just "reading from a book".  We are all ex-smokers, so our advice is from real life situations!  If you are affected by a specific situation, do a search on it here and see how other members reacted/responded.  If you are using an NRT like Chantix or the patch, search for prior posts.  Going cold turkey?  Search for that too!  Be sure to fill out all of the questionaires so you are prepared to have this be your final quit!  And make sure you have a reward system in place.  We LOVE rewards!!!  N(ot) O(ne) P(uff) E(ver) is the motto around here!  Please let us know what we can do to help!  We're all rooting for your success!

Hi

Mach, we're all so happy that you are back with us!  You now know what works and what doesn't work!  Take this knowledge and apply it so this is your final quit!  Put your quit meter on your postings (you can do this from MY PROFILE) so you can see how you are progressing.  Post when needed so we can help you make this be your final quit!  Good Luck!  We're all rooting for your success!
