So I guess the message here is that it doesn't matter how far into it you are. If you're addicted, you're addicted, no two ways about it. I really can only attribute my resolve in staying quit to my motivation then, not how long nic has had a grip on me.

Still smoke free. No I have a whole week of being supervisor to look forward to. This is going to be a rough one.

I am the "acting" supervisor at work for the last few days and ALL of next week. I'm only 26 years old and tell people that are old enough to be my parents what to do. It's VERY difficult and stressful. Especially when people tell me flat out to my face that I'm "not doing a good job". I have to put up with everyone's complaints about time off, he said she said, and people flat out lying to me. I swear it is the worst week at work ever. To top it all off, my boss was out for all of this week. Which means that I have NO one to to back me up, to stand up for me. I put my foot down if I have too. I have contemplating smoking, but I haven't. And I won't. I get to see my girlfriend for lunch, which is AWESOME. I am holding back tears right now and it's driving me up the walls. I'm almost certain most of this emotional outbreak is due to not smoking. I've been breathing deep and trying not to let it get to me.
I appologize in advance for typos, I don't have much time as I am being pulled in a bazillion and one directions at once and can't spend time to proofread my posts for grammar or cohearance.

166 days. And tomorrow is 167. I know I know... "great Nic, you can add". But tomorrow is a pretty epic day. My girlfriend and I move into our new home together. Me smoke free. Just checking in, like I speratically do.
The Girlfriend asked me if I still haven't smoked a few days ago. I got a little irritated becuase I answered "yes" then she asked "are you sure?". Like perhaps I had forgotten or something. I was a little dissapointed, but if you know my history, then you know how much crap and pulled her through when I first started to quit.

125 days for me tomorrow.
I hate to say it but I don't think that coming here and reading is the best thing for me and my quit. All I do is read about how difficult it is for people to stay quit and it sort of makes me depressed. Anyone else fell that way? I get urges like everyone else, but I really start thinking about cigarettes when I'm here, reading. Just my observation that at some point in time you need to leave this place so that you don't always think about cigs. If that makes sense.

Still with my girlfriend Stephanie. We are building a house together (part of why I haven't been on here very much), should be moving in towards the begining of January. I relapsed pretty bad towards the begining of July. Closet smoker for about a month. Finally came clean with Steph, we had a pretty bad fight. Been clean ever since.

Well folks. Don't know how many of you will remember me. I was on here about the February time frame. Did well for a while then dissapeared (I think you can imagine why). Well I'm BACK! And 1 day away from 100. HA HA! Happy DAY!

I understand everything that 4my2girls is saying. And all of those things are all very well and good. Before I met my girlfriend I was going to the gym everday, running miles at a time and still smoking a pack a day. Sure I would have been THAT much better if I wasn't smoking, but since I've quit, I've stopped going to the gym all together, my eating habits are retarded, I feel lazy. I've gained 25 lbs. I used to have a six pack and all that good stuff.
It's just very frustrating that my life seems to have made a turn for the worse since quitting. I know it's best for me. I think anyone knows that. All I'm saying is.... actually I have no idea what I'm saying. All these things seem like personal problems that aren't related to smoking. I just think my brain tries to relate them because I deep down have the junkie mentality.
