The Quit Process that Worked for you - How did you do it?

I was going to quit for Christmas... my present to myself. Well, it didn't happen -- my excuse is that we were traveling. So...New Year's Day was my goal. I got on the internet once again looking for information. I found this website, and I started reading, working through everything, reading, reading, reading, and I was more than 100% ready to quit right then! I finished that particular day at 6 cigarettes, threw out the rest (as in broke them and wet them under the faucet), and never looked back. The SSC and all the info here, and stories from others has been invaluable! I really think it was the key to help me over that last little hurdle. I haven't mourned for my cigarettes. I'm glad to be done... and know I'm going to have to work at replacements, rewards, etc. over the months to come. I'll keep coming here, but I have no desire to smoke. I am missing something I used to do... but do I really want to smoke? No. I don't. I simply need to find how to release a little tension other than gritting my teeth and letting my neck get stiff. To help? I'll be rewarded with a massage next week! This was way too long. Guess you can always stop reading it though! lol [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/31/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 58 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $9.65 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

i made it

Faith and Kansas, I found some of the graphics, but can't get them into this software. It won't let me paste, and there isn't a feature to insert a file, so, I also want to know how they are getting them into their messages. Afterall, Pictures speak louder than words... or is that Actions? ha! Oh well.. it's all the same!

Yes, Kansas, you do need to change your name. Faith is right... trying is wimpy, and you ARE NOT wimpy!!! Live, I forgot you were in Kansas. So am I, so now there are three of us! Congrats Kansas! You know you can get through it now... one day at a time!

For all NEW YEAR'S QUITTERS...

CONGRATS on one week! There are so many of you, I didn't want to leave anyone out, so am posting this instead. Did the week go fast or slow for you? Did you spend your week in fog land? Are your families still speaking to you? Do you still have your job? Inquiring minds want to know! How was your first week?????
