Third Time's he Charm

Hi Nibey, congrats on your final quit. I have also tried to quit many times before. I'm more positive and optimistic this time and I think it's because I've done tons of research about nicotine addiction and understand it better. I'm not giving myself an out by thinking it's OK to have a puff or two here or there, I think that's what tripped me up before because a puff or two leads to a cig or two and then it's all over. Stay strong!

Halfway through day #1

Thanks aloha, that's a terrific mantra to have. Loving the way your family chimes in with you. My husband quit smoking 7 years ago so he's is totally supportive and helpful. I'm trying to think like my friend who is and has always been a non-smoker. When I think about having a smoke, I say to myself, "VK wouldn't even be thinking about this so I won't either." So far so good. I'm managing well and maintaining my quit.

Hi Hojohnjo! Glad to see you here. 50 days is wonderful, keep up the good work. You've got lots of stressors right now, but just keep your quit up front and you'll make it through.

Hang in their Faith! You're doing a fantastic job, just don't let that junkie talk you into giving up your quit.

Have your friends changed?

Most of my friends are non-smokers so this is actually good for me! There is one lady at work who was my smoking buddy (now she's the only smoker at work). She is really mad at me and called me selfish to be quitting! She doesn't want to go outside by herself. I was shocked she would actually be so tacky about my quit, but I just calmly told her it was something that I have to do for myself. Now she just stops at my office door and announces everytime she goes to smoke! But hopefully she will get over her hurt feelings because I'm not giving up my quit for her.
