Rainie- That is an excellent promise that you wrote! One thing that I have noticed in my quit is that I am really focused on me.. and taking "care" of me.. being "kind" to myself.. I have never, never done this before and it has taken 3 weeks to really learn how to do this. Be sure to do this for yourself !! Remember... BREATH! I'm here for you !! We all are! -Rhonda [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/31/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 24 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 731 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $144 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Wow Rainie, you really got my emotions stirred up this morning. Brought chills to my body and a lump in my throat with a few tears in the eyes. You touched my heart with your deeply commited promise to yourself. Take each day for what it is a new day, promise yourself that you will do your absolute best and start living life to the fullest for you moment by moment, hour by hour and breath by breath. You have inspired me to take better care of me and God given body that for many years I have used and abused. Starting this minute I will take pride in the person that I am and the person that I am about to become as a non-smoker. My goal in this new adventure is to become a better mother, better wife and better friend and most of all better grandmother. But first and foremost a better ME! Thanks for the inspiration and heart felt promise, I just made to myself because of you. My sincere appreciation, Lisa (Katie and Maggies Nana) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/15/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 9 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 281 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $54 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

I know it is important in a quit to make a public statement to your friends and family to gain support and accountibility in your quit. Well, since I am a closet quitter here is my public proclimation! I promise myself that I will turn a deaf ear and closed mind to ANY influence that may try to bend my resolve. I promise that I will do everything and anything it takes to never let nicotine invade my precious God given body again. I will pray, breathe, post, use ALL of my tools. I will do all of these things with a positive attitude. I will accept feelings of cravings as they come because with each crave that is denied I am teaching my body how to respond to a new life and a new me. Not only do I promise to care for, nuture, and cherish my quit but I will place it above all else for the rest of this journey. To you - my quit family, to the world, and more importantly to myself, I promise this on the last day I will ever allow my body and my mind to be controlled by my addition to nicotine. With love....

Excellent promise. I was a closet smoker/quitter too. Use the support of these boards and those traveling the road less traveled with you. You are in for an adventure of a lifetime! Remember to take a lot of deep breaths and take it five minutes at a time. Post often and read even more. There is a lot of useful information around here to get you through the tough times. Use it! Tomorrow you begin the first day of the rest of your life. No matter how difficult it may seem Remember that every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again. The freedom is soooooo worth it.
