104 days nicotine free

Thanks K. You too! Congratulations on your quit too... I've found that meditation works well with the emotional roller coaster... I've bought a couple guided cd's. They work wonders. That, and I try to read every think I can find on the negative effects of tobacco... It keeps me focused on the goal. Good luck with your quit, Peace Jackey [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/22/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 105 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,118 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $438.9 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 21

Hey, as long as your not smoking, I'd say you're not cheating... And yeah... I had to change gas stations too... I started driving 10 miles out of the way to go by a Costco... so I *couldn't* be tempted. Whatever works, right?

So, I've stopped smoking again... I started smoking at 13 and am 35 now. Over the past 10 years, I've attempted to stop smoking 7 or 8 times, each time using a Nicotine Replacement Therapy. My longest quit using an NRT was 58 days. On December 22nd, 2005, I decided to go one day without a cigarette, in the hopes that I could be smoke free by my 35th birthday on January 22nd. As of now, I'm 104 days nicotine free... I have my up days and my down days, but with each day, the craving keeps getting smaller and smaller. I'm just here looking for support as I continue this roller coaster. Every day I tell myself that statistically someone dies from a tobacco related illness every 8 seconds, and I don't want to be one of those casualties. So, I guess, I'm here to rant, seek support and friends. Wishing you all peace, Jackey [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/22/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 104 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,093 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $434.72 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Jackey - congratulations on an awesome success. you are definitely an inspiration and something i needed to hear tonight! yes,it may be hard at times, with many ups and many downs, but in the end, it is the only way. mind over matter - i'd rather be alive and annoyed/irritated/emotionally confused at times, then sick or dead. keep up the good work! k [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/20/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 17 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 323 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $89.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 47

Well done Jackey, 100 days is such a massive milestone that seems an impossibility when we start. You are proof that with dedication it can be done. Doesn't it feel good!!
