Getting close to a big milestone for me. 90 days has been the longest I have ever gone and its getting closer each day. I will be successful this time because I really want to be. Its easy to get upset or have millions of reasons to light up but just the one reason of making a choice NOT TO is much more important. We all go through ups and downs every single day but i feel better about myself each day I remind myself that I accomplished it without that darn demon. What a relief it is for me to say this. This site is the backbone of my success and I salute and cherish you all. I can never say thank you enough. I love you all!!!!!!

Reached a milestone today and boy oh boy do I feel GREAT. I find that I am most tempted when things go really sour quickly and unexpectedily. When I am in those situations I now know that absolutely NOBODY or NOTHING can make me give all of this up again. I have been tested and retested more times than I can count and smoking would NOT have change one darn thing. I am getting a little more exercise and must admit that I am beginning to feel better. I hate the exercise part but I know its very important. I am just glad to share this day with you all. Hugs to you all !!!!

Very bad time right now. Major crisis that I know a cig will not change but I cant seem to get my head past that desire. I know all the right words and I'm doing all the right things but its really getting to me today. The worst has seemed to lessen while I was waiting to log in and I;m feeling better the more I type but this is a major battle right now. My head has already made the decision to light up but ddthis group is here guiding me and giving me strength to ride through this storm. It is not worth going back to day one all over again. I need help!!!!!

Well folks...here I go yet again. I have never laster more than 5 yrs. I quit for 5 yrs then resumed and have been off and on since the loss of my eldest son in 2004. I am frustrated by my inablity to remain smoke free. I have many, many health issues which smoking only worsens, yet I keep puffing away. I know if I continue to smoke..I will die. I need everyone's help and prayers to achieve this.....and I will.
Tomorrow is day one. I will stay in touch. This group has always been my rock. In the past I have been without a computer and used that for an excuse not to keep in touch. NOT THIS TIME.
For all the newbies....keep that Nico Demon Away!!!!
Mid day has arrived and I'm still smoke free today. I can do this!!!! Just taking 1 hr at a time. This morning was a little shakey but I managed getting through the one cigarette that I really do miss but I'll get over it with all your help. Keeping myself busy. I had forgotten how exhausting I become. Just want to take a nap I am trying to drink lots of water and keep myself busy. I find keeping a straw in my mouth helps me get through the cravings along with gum. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Taking deep breaths and getting out of house. I was able to go for a walk which helped clear my head. I remember now all the agony and ups and downs of the first week. I am feeling worn out but I refuse to cave in. Just taking each hour at a time. Soon I will getting my dinner ready which will occupy my hands and my time. After dinner on planning on coming right back here. My Mileage:
