Easy or Hard?

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be for all those years, but then again, I didn't have the right mindset for all those years either. I attribute a lot of it to the SSC. It was the turning point in making it a completely positive thing, as well as giving me lots of information and education, AND on-going support.

If it weren't for Chantix or this site i would never have been able to quit. So far it has not been too bad. I crave everyday, some days worse than others, but I have noticed that it does get easier to handle with each week. The only thing that i wish would go away is the fact that I smell tobacco 24/7. Not sure why, but I do. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 772 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $150 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

I think that I would have had a difficult quit or possibly no quit at all. Fortunately I educated myself on the negative effects of nicotine and how to quit smoking. I also found this site and took advantage of the tools and knowlege of people who came here before me. I read advice, use advice, and understand that every quit is different. I have also remained happy and excited about this process. Therefore, this has been a eye opening, pleasant experience. Yes, I have had craves. Yes, I have wanted a cigarette at times. The bottom line is that I have choosen not to smoke anymore. That is that. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/8/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 82 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,240 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $344.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43

SO far I must say it has been relatively easy, but then I am on the patch so you expect it should be easier, because I still have nicotine in my blood system. But...having quit the same way other times, this time is very different, my attitude is different and I think that is the thing that is making it easier this time. I have finally figured out and I am an addict and that I can't touch amother cigarette! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 25 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 649 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $263.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
