Just wanted to check in and to tell everyone that I made it over that last hill. It was a tough one. I knew that I couldn't hear about anyone smoking again because the craving was driving me crazy!! I am having a hard time some days, other days I do ok. Most days I am very sleepy. My lungs are trying to clean out and some days they actually hurt. I do expect some discomfort after 40+ years but sometimes I get discouraged. I am still wanting a cig pretty often but know that I won't go back. I want to thank every one of you who that has offered me words of praise and encouragement. Without you guys holding my bicycle up, I will never learn how to ride by myself. Thanks for being there!! Someday, I hope that I will be able to hold up someone elses.

Thank you so much everyone. I know that my lungs are healing because at first I was coughing up dark stuff and it is slowly getting clearer. If I am still coughing after 3 mths or I suddenly turn around and start to cough more or if I see an unsual color, I will go to the Dr. Thank you all so much for your concern and applause.

I was just reading online about the price of cigs going up because of taxes and it really ticks me off. If you were any other drug addict there would be goverment sponcered rehab clinics for you to go to. Maybe even help you find a job, a place to live. I have finally gone through the roughest time of my life when I quit smoking. It's not just putting out your cig and laying the pack down. I know for a fact that your body goes through agonizing hell to get rid of the addiction. I am so thankful that I live alone and nobody had to see me go through that torture. I am confident that I will never go back. I wish everyone here the drive and determination and love for yourself that it takes to get through this fight. I will always be grateful to everyone on this site who has written to me and encouraged me and for writing to each other for me to read. Thanks for letting me know that I wasn't going through this alone and I could lean on you for support when I needed it. If you're a smoker out there or thinking of sliding back, just tell yourself that you are worth the fight and that you can do it!!

Just wanted to say that I have made it to 55 days and I still feel like a piece of crap most days. I have no energy and am still coughing up stuff all the time. I think I have had a total of 3 good days since I stopped smoking. I know that it will take time but just wanted to witch about it for a bit. Nothing will ever make me smoke again but I'm hoping for better days ahead!(Soon)
