Rock, I like your idea of letting SSC members know when one of the others has reached a milestone so that person can be praised (I think the majority of people like to be cheered on for doing anything that is hard and takes commitment).

Thank you Hot SiO2 Congratulations for getting rid of Chantix after a little more than three weeks and remaining quit! I will start reading other older threads about NRT's. I kind of feel I don't need the information on nrt s yet but it will be invaluable at the end and during the cycle of therapy. So I guess I will start reading..now. Right now I am taking the right amount of mgs a day for how much I used to smoke, and successively weaning myself off in regards to the manufacturer's guided time frame. Only I do get angry the day I change my nicotine intake, but I need to encounter a few bumps along the path. It will all be worthwhile in the long run.

These are a few quotes that speak to me in regards to quitting.
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
�Helen Keller
(1880-1968); author, lecturer, activist
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
�Plato
(427-347); Classical Greek philosopher
“The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt.”
�Max Lerner
(1902-1992); journalist

I live with a family member who smokes and the people that I am friends with smoke. This has led to me being cut off from their lives because of my decision to quit. I feel alone, only when I am on this site I feel supported. I do not criticize those who smoke because it is their choice like not smoking is my choice. Anyone can see the results smoking can lead to, they are either on the cigarette pack, television etcetc. A friend predicted I would be back on cigs in three weeks.....how supportive. I told my father I was feeling a little down he told me start at it again....hmmm. Another friend said 'I don't like quitters' or ' you suck'. I know she is only half kidding but I can actually feel their support for me radiating off of them. . So the person I live with smokes, which doesn't bother me, as long as it is not indoors. When I am out for a drive she smokes in the car which drives me up the wall wanting a cig if my handy lozenges were not around, and after I reward myself for not ruining my quit by slipping. Like it was said 'I have to responsible for my own quit' and 'I own my quit' .
