For new and recent Quitters - what's so good about quitting?

Being seated in the "Good" section of the restaurant for a change. [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 90 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,250 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $315.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 38 [B]Seconds:[/B] 11

gritting my teeth

yup, for the first couple mos Shutter! You got to find something that is near Zero calories and keeps you busy. Some use Sunflower seeds, cause you have to crack them open, do all this work to get a little tiny seed. Sue bought some very low all natural cheese puffs that are pretty good. I think Celery and Carrots are what the experts will tell ya! I too had the clinching (still do) problem, need to be careful, I ended up cracking a tooth and had to get a crown put on.

social smoker desperately needs help

You smoke for the rush Try a double shot of expresso, that should get your blood pumping. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 90 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,250 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $315.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24

What has been you favorite reward

I am taking Sue to the beach this weekend to celebrate her birthday and our 100 day quit, (and to break her crankiness) I have reserved a condo that is right on the beach where they will be having some surfing competitions running. Next door is an award winning restaurant. The restaurant has a pier, which allows you to sit and enjoy the breeze while a band plays right there in the sunset. After dinner and a few drinks we can then stumble the beach back to the condo! This beats emptying ashtrays any day! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 90 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,250 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $315.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53

Hi everybody

Your doing great Steph! Keep up the good work. Don't worry about the past just the future. Let's face it, smoking is so 60'ish anyway, don't even think about going back. Nobody smokes anymore. You have now boarded the quit train! Next stop, The Healthy Lifestyle Concourse where you can walk AND breathe!

Day One

Welcome aboard Luvlambs, my wife Susan and I quit with Chantix. Super easy to quit, you can expect a few bumps and emotional uprisings but in three months you will be a new person!

Day three

Chris, if you dig around you will find some of my earlier posts. Smoking sometimes masks symptoms of existing problems so as your body is healing it might just be normal to feel like crap. (if that makes sense) I kinda feel I went through the ringer. Keep your doctor in the loop.
