Today I celebrate 6 months as a non-smoker. This is big for me. I started smoking when I was 18 and smoked for 35 years. I never quit before. With intervention from my family I found myself surrounded by many who wanted me to quit and began to hear them for the 1st time in years. Yet I had to quit for me. So with sheer determination on 10-10-05 I stopped smoking.
My doctor advised that I find some type of support group as first time quitters stand a better chance of staying smoke free with a support grout. Well thank you CCS- you have been that support for me.
Yet better than support I QUIT!!! Although it has not been easy I have and will I will continue to beat the odds and stay smoke free.

Thanks for the reminder that I will always be "one puff away from a pack a day." Yet a big thanks for the encouragement that years of not smoking is possible.
With respect,
Lynne

3days to 1 cig= start again today. It sounds to me like your giving yourself a reason to smoke for the next couple of weeks. Believe me you HAVE made it through the worst.

You have already begun. Welcome to the world of non-smoking! Determination is what you'll need to succeed.
I visited this site several times a day when I first quit and that was what helped me get through the beginning. So your in the right place. God speed on your quit.

The hardest part for me is accepting that those who "just got saved" are out to save the world without focusing on their own quit. I don't visit SSC much because its clickly and too many have solved the stopping by avoiding the fact that it takes determination to stay a non-smoker(only my opinion). I have always been taught that 1 year free from any drug is the target to quitting success and anything less is the road to recovery.
