Are smoking friends really on our side???

Next time you should ask why they are offering you a cigarette though they know that you quit? I really would like to hear their reasoning behind their actions. When I told my mom (who smokes a lot) that I hadn't had a cigarette in 4 weeks (didn't tell her that I had quit before that) her answer to it was, "we'll see how long that will last." Very encouraging, isn't it? You're doing great, the fact that no one was able to tempt you, and that you recognized that your resistance was leaving you shows how strong you are.

Lady, This is horrible! I dread going to Europe this summer visiting my family. I know how my mom ticks, and know that she'll be trying to tempt me. :mad: Good thing though that most of my friends over there quit, so I'll be spending a lot of time with them. :) I just am very proud of myself, and love that I am free of these horrible things.

Hi Ang, Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. You are a great inspiration. Where did you get all this wisdom from at your age? I really hope that my two kids will be like you when they are teenagers.

THE VIP CLUB

Thanks Dufis, what a wonderful place! Still have ways to go, but whenever the nicodemon comes knocking I will remember the Club, and that with each passing day I haven't smoked I am one step closer to paradise.

Could it really be THIS EASY?

Hi C.S., I am 44 days quit, and I pretty much feel the same way you feel. I thought quitting was going to be a lot harder, but to my amazement it has been easier than expected. That is not to say that the nicodemon isn't lurking around and showing up at times, but I just hit him over the head with whatever is around. I don't know what it is this time around, but it's a lot easier. I am just getting a kick out of it, you know. Sometimes I feel like a little kid in a candy store when I smell my hair or my clothes. Silly I know. But I am like, "Damn do I smell good." ;p Anyway, fantastic to hear that you're doing this great.

Oops, jumped a few days ahead. It's 39 days, why I thought it is 44 I don't know. Ahhh, wishful thinking. Anywho, sorry about that.

1/2 way there

Thank you all. As far as the reward goes, I am saving up the money, and will do something special once 6 months roll around. I was thinking of spending a whole day at a Spa!
