Hi QuitMeister,
I've begun my fifth day! Can you believe it! I didn't get to post any last night except to put out a call for a mentor then I read the new posts. After that, I was DONE for they day! I'm learning every day that those habit thoughts intrude on almost everything but I've been working through them as best as I can.
How are you doing QM? You must be thrilled with 2 weeks quit!!! Congratulations to you! And thanks for checking in on me! I appreciate your kindness.
Debbie

I too will be wandering the neighborhood with a Red Power Ranger! What fun we will have! And I don't have to chew 50 pieces of gum to "camouflage" my smoke breath! I don't have it anymore!!!! How nice is that? Happy Halloween to all my fellow Fresh Air Freaks!!!!!

You know ParrotLady, it's funny you'd mention something like this! I actually smelled my coffee brewing this morning! The smell actually stopped me in my tracks, I stood in the kitchen breathing in the aroma and smiling like a big ole goon! It smelled like heaven on earth to me!
I never realized that I wasn't "able to smell" while I was a smoker, and now I kind of wonder what else I've been missing for 26 smoke-filled years. BUT I'm on my way to finding out! I'm so excited! It's sort of like a baby discovering a whole new world! I get goosebumps just thinking about it! I know it sounds silly, but this is truly how I feel! Like I've been cheating myself out of the simplest pleasures in life for way too many years. And I totally like the feeling of empowerment that my quit has given me. Anybody else have these feelings? Or am I just a nut job?
Life is good!
Debbie

Thanks everybody!
Stormy,
I've got about 4 1/2 hours until the completion of my 6th smoke-free day! I'm just staying real busy, drinking gallons of water, writing in my journal and reading lots of posts here! This quitting smoking thing is quite a ride! I'm hanging on for all I'm worth! Woohoo!

QM,
Thanks so much for your confidence in me! I plan to keep going strong! How about you? How's your day going? Great, I hope! I've just learned so stinking much here in the last couple of weeks that I truly believe the saying, "Knowledge is Power!" And you people here on SSC know quite a lot! And thanks to all those before me who have shared their wisdom on so many posts for so long! I've gone quite a ways back just reading! It's incredible to watch someone's journey and heed their advice, even if it wasn't really intended for me. Sorry, got a little windy and almost teary eyed there!
Love you guys and gals!
Deb

Congrats, Lynne! I have no idea how to do all the fancy pictures and cute stuff (even though I read the post on how to do it, LOL). So I'm sending you lots of cheers and applause! Can you hear the roar?
Hope you've had some awesome rewards!

Hi Monica,
I was just reading your thread and thinking how great you are doing! Reading here at SSC has saved my ole butt more than once in the last few days! Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and congratulations on your decision to quit!
