Good Morning,
My quit date was January 9th, 2008. I have 52 days completely smoke free today. I have been here to this site before and have been to 52 days before, as well. I am not as excited about the days as I am about the relative serenity I am experiencing most days, if I continue to affirm my decision to quit, and silence that stupid voice in my head that says otherwise.
I am using Chantix, which makes it almost easy except that I keep thinking if it's so easy, why not do it another time? And then I have to remind myself how many "another times" I've done this, so THIS time I am doing it differently. I am not allowing myself to dewll on the possibility of "going back", because as the serenity prayer says, "grant me the courage to control the things I can", I have to accept that this IS a thing I CAN control, if I keep choosing to do so.
I am going to be 54 in May, and I plan to be a little over 5 months quit at that time. I am a grandmother, a psych tech (hence the nickname) full time for more than 20 years, I own my own gardening company, I have been married for 17 years, and we have parrots. You may have known me as ParrotLady another time.
For now, I am going to try taking care of me and not others, although that's tough in my line of work! I hope to get here at least once a day, but am quite busy this time of year with both jobs and hubby and the birds; I will post when I can.
That's all I can think of for now, except congrats to all the quitters!

It must feel awesome to have a full year quit! Way to show us how it's done!
Hope you have a big reward planned or have richly rewarded yourself already!
