Well it's almost 3pm and I really haven't had that much of an urge to smoke. I've been pretty busy and alot of support here at work. It's funny they all thought I would be an evil woman and I've been pretty calm. Probably because I'm so tired. Any way still hanging in there and I'll try going to sleep early thanks!!! :)

Hi Shafty,
Welcome!!! You will get all the support you need on this sight anytime you ask. I've made small attempts in the past and failed but this is the first time I have made it past a month and I couldn't have done it without the support and friends I made on this site. There is great advise and so much encouragement that if the will and desire are there with everyone's help here you can quit. There's no going back for me and this can be the final quit for you as well. Have you set a quit date yet and do you plan on using any kind of NRT? Stay close keep reading and post anytime you need!!

Just curious... I'm on antibiotics for strep throat and have one day left to finish it but I've developed a really bad dry cough that's about to break a rib or two.I wasn't sure if anyone else who quit smoking had this problem into their quit. I had a cough in the beginning and it went away now it's back and worse. My doc says it's from the strep. Even though I told him I quit smoking a month ago. I would appreciate any feedback. I'm not sure if this is part of quitting smoking or what. Quick note** welcome to all the new non smokers and all the advise from new and experienced quitters!!!Stay strong!!!!

Hi Changing,
I can relate to feeling like this is a marathon and with hurdles to jump the whole way. You've seen some of my post and smoking is not an option for me either. I look at it this way. For me it seems that everytime things are going good and I'm feeling strong BAM life hits me with a challenge and I feel sick to my stomach and fight the urges and keep going. I make this a positive thing instead of giving into to the urges and feel even stronger for fighting back. It's hard sometimes but the next day I'm glad I didn't give in because I keep thinking how much harder it would be to know I gave up. I'm my own worst enemy and I couldn't deal with that regret which is why I won't give up on my quit. I'd rather have the O2angel on my side than the nicodemon!!! My father quit smoking 30 years ago and he says he still has his moments that an urge sneaks up on him but he said it's a fleeting feeling and gone so fast he forgets about it almost as fast as it hits so I know eventually the struggle will be over. Maybe not for awhile but it's something to look forward to. I'm glad you made this post and it didn't sound negative. It's reality and a struggle alot of us go through. My father suggested to me to get in my car and take a drive to somewhere there is water and relax to the sound of the water. It's fresh and calming and gives the chance to clear the mind and figure ways to work through whatever is going on at the time. With a daughter it's not always feasable so a walk around the block helps too. I admire your strength. Let it keep working for you!!!
