Thanks everyone...rough day.....but when I look at my graph thingie...havent had strong cravings for over a month, so what's one day of discomfort vs a lifetime of clean lungs? Today might be related to passing 50 days..or leading up to 60 days..who knows? it sucks, but I'll get through it
N.O.P.E.!!!!!

Hi Delayette...and welcome!!!
Sounds like you've got the right attitude..this is something you WANT to do.
Are you going cold turkey or using an NRT or chantix?
Whatever you are going through, it is ok to share, and any questions you have, most likely someone will have an answer for.
Keep using the coping strategies you have planned, and check in often. We're with you all the way

I just returned from a trip where I faced that situation...and more. What I did was prepare ahead of time. I had something to hold and chew on (the holder from a NRT cigarette), like a cut straw, had a list of self-talk phrases to remind me why I was quitting, and then while I was at dinner and other events, just enjoyed the heck out of not having to go out to smoke or worrying about my smoke bothering other people.
Enjoy!!!!

Yes you can, disneyfan!
You ARE doing it! Doesn't it feel great when you get past a crave and don't cave in to it? Just keep doing what you're doing..it seems to be working.

Congrats on the four weeks!
Kev..I've never heard of them either..what is electric persuasion???
I'll look them up when I get back.
I'm leaving for a trip tonight, so most likely will not post while I'm gone. I'm a bit scared about handling not smoking in some of these old/new sitations, but I have a page of self-talk phrases printed out and with me. The most important one: "I do not smoke because I am a non-smoker!" I know I am going to really miss this site and everyone here.
See ya when I return
