Welcome Matt. This quit for me feels different too. Not sure why, but I think I was really ready to say goodbye to those %#@^ing little sticks for good. Still tough but I am determined this time. Stay strong and read here often as it really helps to know we are not alone in our struggle. Stay strong!!

[center][IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a17/Daniwiz/hello_rotating.gif[/IMG] Matt & [IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a17/Daniwiz/Welcome-18-june.gif[/IMG][/center] Knowledge is power. And the more you learn about how to quit, the more power you'll have. Power translates into control. When you are 10 days into your quit and you have a strong craving, you will have the tools/skills/knowledge to deal with that craving. You will know that the occasional bad day may rear it's ugly head, but you will know what you can do about it. You will know where to go for help. Lay your foundation/Make a plan, Empower yourself with knowledge, Knowledge = increased motivation and will power, Commit to your Quit, Make it happen! Believe in the process of your QUIT. Believe in yourself. Remember that you can do this just as well as the person who quit successfully before you. Everyone who has quit successfully before you does not have any secret power that you don't possess. It is just a matter of feeling the fear and doing it anyway! You can do this.

Hi Matt and welcome aboard! Congratulations on your quit and 3 days behind you! Hell week is almost over. You've come to the right place, the people here are the best bunch of quitters I know. I find when I'm having a major crave (not so bad anymore), I come to my computer and read for inspiration - and then I try to give some away also. Stay close and stay strong - you can do it!

Welcome Matt, It's been different for me this time as well. I sure hope you feel the physical benefits as much as I have. Breathing easier is such a great motivator :) I hope you are here to stay :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/3/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 64 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 777 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $192 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

[IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i125/CHEARNE/welc.gif[/IMG] Matt, I agree with Luna - you've got the right attitude and that's 80% of a successful quit. Stay positive and post here with us quitters as often as you like. You're doing really great ! C-ya around the neighborhood.....

Matt - I love your attitude "Bring it on". I can hear nicodemon gnashing his teeth. He doesn't like attitudes like yours. Yes this is very hard. But you are stronger than he is. This is your life you are fighting for - keep those fists ready! Before you know it, you will be wondering what in the heck took you so long.
