Three years of FREEDOM

Martha - I wonder if all of you "long-timers" know how much it means to those of who are early in our quits, half way to the beach, at the beach... Sometimes I have dreams that I mess up and smoke and it just about breaks my heart. I am constantly afraid that something will happen and I will smoke,but then I see posts from some of you who have made it as long as this and I know I will NEVER SMOKE AGAIN. You are an amazing group of people who after probably having their quits managed and are able to cope without this site take the time to come back here and help us along. I cannot thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!

Total Relapse

This string really scared me. I read through 2cents' post and related with alot of the way they feel. I felt so much better when I smoked. I was never sick. All my annual physicals came back great. I had more energy. I miss my best friend (the cig). I felt so much happier when I smoked. I love the warm feel of the first drag. I am on day 55 and I am still having a damn tightness across my chest that just will not go away. I was probably better off when I smoked. I should go get a pack now and stop my misery....... ..... oh, right.... I almost forgot.... I want to live. I want to see my daughter grow up. I want to not stink like a bar at 7:00 in the morning right after my shower. I want to be able to breathe and walk a flight of steps without hacking up a lung. I want to make decisions that are not completely based on whether it will interfere with my smoking schedule. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A SLAVE TO THIS DRUG ANY LONGER!!!!!!!! 2cents - you are right, you have to want to quit more than you want to smoke. Your post made me realize... I WANT TO BE A NON-SMOKER. I did feel better when I smoked. I do miss it. But not enough to ever do it again! Thank you for being honest! Please come back when you are ready!

Help? Slipping Game...

Mamakitty - I am so sorry I didn't see this post yesterday. No matter what you decide to do with your meter, just don't give up. I am a truth 'til it hurts girl and think I would have to start my meter over to make myself realize the loss of my slip. How much more it hurts to see the loss of those days than it did to just not smoke. But I have heard others here say they would have to leave their meter alone becuase they think it would be too hard for them to restart it. The decision is a completely personal one. Just know we are all here to help you in any way we can. Hang in their mamakitty - try keeping the quit for babykitty. Helps me alot to think I am doing it my baby too, not just for me.
