Lady hit the nail on the head when she said you have to embrace your quit. I catch myself fighting it sometimes and those are the times I struggle the most.
Accepting the fact that I can no longer smoke seems to have a bit of a calming effect (most of the time) ;)
Tryagain, I think it's great that you've made it this far and you should be proud of yourself for hanging in there. Keep going forward and don't look back!

Today is my 2 week mark and I never thought (in a million years) I could even go 1 day without smoking.
I am so excited to be able to say I have come this far and I want to thank you all for for your inspiration, laughs, triumphs, and your stories of struggle.
My quit has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Some days I'm on top of the world and there's no stopping me, and other days I hate everybody for no reason. When I read all of your posts I feel that what I'm going through is normal and it's all worth it.
Cheers to you all!

Way to go jojo!
Bear is right, when you get your sense of smell back you'll realize that your quit is worth it. SCC has been the best part of my quit and I couldn't have done it alone. Good luck tomorrow :) We're all cheering for you!!!

Welcome to your 1st smoke free day! Isn't it great?!
Sugar free candy and gum have been a big part of my quit. Carrots are a good snack but on the first day of my quit I ate like 4 lbs so I burned out on them right away.
Good luck jojo, I'm rooting for you all the way!

Isn't it great to know that you don't smell like a dirty old ashtray anymore?! When my co-workers come in from smoking, the stink is so strong that I can smell it across the room (and I used to smell just like that)
Everyday I thank God that I don't smell gross anymore. I plan on rewarding myself with some new perfume when my quit reaches one month!!!!

Not to fear Bonnie,
I know just how you feel. The nic fits pop up out of nowhere and take you by surprise. I can be having a great day and one tiny little thing will make me blow my stack! After looking foolish for about 5 minutes I am back to normal
Be strong and don't give in. It will pass, I promise :)
