Thanks for your support my wonderful friends... Angel, your strength is just amazing! You've certainly turned the tables around on this nasty addiction. Very well done. Nance, don't hero's wear spandex tights..can I borrow a pair please? I only have a feather boa and oh ya, watch out for broken china. I need more dishes so I can share them with Lynne and Gen. :) Update: The past few stressful days at work have reminded me of hell week, or at least the emotional similarities are there from when I was cutting back cold turkey prior to my quit day. I hung in there during the hard times and asked for help, blindly expecting things to get better. Suddenly, out of seemingly no-where people have started pitching in and my request for help has snowballed. Yesterday I had 5 people helping me and work wasn't just work anymore...it was actually FUN!!! It's like posting here at SSC...ask for help...have faith and patience until someone can reply...you will get through it and yes, it's even possible to HAVE SOME FUN QUITTING! :) Pat Knowledge replaces fear.

Hi Pat. Thought I responded to this already, but I guess not? Anyway, I love your outlook and perspective on the whole quitting thing. It has been very helpful. AND what an encouraging story for newer quitters - hearing that stressful times could pass without any thoughts of smoking. Way to go!

You really are my hero, did you know that? I am so proud of you! And to think you did it without breaking any of JT's dishes (that we know of, anyway!) You are amazing!

Ladycigevictor, Congratulations! You are proof that it can be done! Freedom is achievable! Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Ladycigevictor You are so right. Each and every day I am thankful and happy I quit. Yes, there are stresses in my life and in my job and yes, there are some days I want to pull my hair out (and I have come close to doing it), but not once did I say, I am going to smoke because of this situation! Instead I said "I AM NOT GOING TO SMOKE BECUASE OF THIS SITUATION. Because I knew I could get through it without the cig. And each time this happens it gets easier and easier and soon you forget that smoking was a part of the situation in the past. Thanks for your post, it was great! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 70 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,764 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $350 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 56

Hi, I'm a new quitter, TODAY and everyday for the rest of my life. I came here some time ago to read how everyone was quitting smoking. I wanted to quit. I read. I posted. I gained knowledge. I realized I was an addict. I adopted NOPE (Not One Puff Ever). I made myself a promise to never smoke again on my quit day. I quit. I quit everyday and it's been over 100 days now. I am feeling so free. I know I am free because yesterday was the most stressful day I've ever had at any job I've ever had. I mean if anything could possibly go wrong it did, and then some...over and over again. It was chaos. It never ended. Every time I thought everything was finally fixed, something else would happen. It took every bit of strength I had not to just start screaming and walk off mindlessly "into the sunset". I was at my breaking point. I was alone. I had no help. I had no one to call. I had only my determination to stick it out. I had to dig really deep to find ways to make things work. This happened repeatedly during a very long day. Everytime something unexpected happened...I took a deep breath...I smiled...I just kept on going...and going...and going...like the pink bunny...I just kept going...and finally the day from he!! was over. Then before I could make a clean escape, I was asked to come to work on my day off today and do it again. I said yes, because it's my job and I'm needed because no one else is available to do it. I went home, ate a late dinner and fell into bed exhausted, both physically and mentally. This morning I woke up and smiled because I have time to come here to see my friends and post congratulations to their amazing sucesses. A few minutes ago I thought about yesterday and had to post this for the new people. Do you want to know what??? It might happen to you. [size=4]Not once during that whole entire stess filled day, did I even think about smoking!!![/size] I thought about everything else, BUT I DID NOT THINK ABOUT SMOKING. Yes, I know am quit. Yes, I did it with the help of this site...and I will never forget I am an addict who is free. Yes, you can do it too. Yes, you can feel this freedom too. :) Pat Knowledge replaces fear [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/28/2007 [B]Smoke-F
