Nonic, my reasons at first, were mostly about myself. But, then i slipped and I had to really think about why i was quitting. What I found out, is , I am doing it all for me. For my lungs, my health, for my self esteem... That became clear to me tonight, as my husband smoked in another room in the house and even though I could smell it, I sat on the couch and I was fine. I didn't even think about going to ask him for a puff. I had to realize that it was just about me or I was going to fail. Last year in January, we both quit, after 60 days I found out he had been sneaking on a daily basis. I felt cheated, betrayed and angry. I had suffered for 60 days, thinking it was something we were doing together and then wham! So I fell off the wagon. But, this time is different. He talks about quitting, but I'm not pressuring him. He will quit when he is ready. And I will be fine either way. Besides, we'll probably get along better if we quit at different times.

Good morning DL,
Once I got past that evening ride home, I was okay. I had one difficult moment where the junkie tried telling me "go ahead, you can smoke one a day", and I just got up and started doing dishes, laundry etc. And of course, read the boards alot. For the most part, the cravings do not last long and you can keep busy long enough for them to pass and you'll be so glad that you did.
So you have a couple more days to prepare yourself for your quit. Don't forget to remember what you said you'd do in trigger situations. Write them down and keep them handy, breathe, and the water really helps. When I'm craving at work, I walk outside with a cup of water in my hand. Does the trick.

Jazz --I can't wait to have one of my own, but have to move out to the country first. My aunt and uncle raised and trained labs for years. They gave me one of their retired studs one time, and he was sooooo sweet and smart, then my neighbors moved overnight and took him with them.
Ok, OMT what's it gonna be for us JanuNopes? New Year No Nics?
