Well, I'm trying to figure out how a train will get from Florida to Australia, but that's okay. I'm on it!

Hi Martha...nice to see you again!

You are all doing wonderfully! Looks like a few of you are right around the two week mark and truly, that is a big big deal. Don't let the weekend bring a stop to your new and marvelous, smoke-free lives.

Sassy - thank you for sharing your story. I forget at times what the journey was like in the early days and you captured the beauty of those amazing celebrations so well. Congrats on your 120 Days and your very wise daughter's graduation.

It is worth every minute of the struggle folks and the struggle does eventually end

I promise not to smoke this weekend.

All the best

Count me in too! It will be tough! Nan's 80th brithday party and all the family together and a lot of alcohol and sing songs I reckon. I think I'll offer to be the designated driver so I'll stay away from drink. I'm glad you're not allowed smoke indoors here, all I have to do is stay inside. Feeling weird today, I can smell someone with a cigarette from across the street and I think that if there were cigs in my house at the moment, I would smoke them. Wish me luck!

I pledge not to smoke this weekend. I will not miss coughing and smelling like an ashtray, and making errand plans around picking up a pack so I don't run out. I pledge to be thankful for not smoking this weekend.

Hi there. I am checking in on day 120. Basically, i am not a brand new visitor here but i think my message may be important - especially - to the new ones - the ones who think they might not be able to make it. I smoked for 35 years and never thought i could stop...people warned me about 'triggers'...drinking, stress, being near other smokers, bad news, worry...I was such a heavy smoker - i considered blinking a trigger. Life was a trigger. So i stopped, cold turkey on february 7th...cried for a while...stomped my feet - dreamt i smoked - dreamt i stopped smoking....you name it - i went through it. But i never cheated...not once...not one puff.... My daughter graduates High School tomorrow - i have just completed weeks and weeks of financial aid forms - loans - stress unlimited. I did not smoke. Last night was a special Mass at her school for the blessing of her diploma and outside of the Church - afterwards - were all the smoking parents. My daughter came over to me and said - "i know you are proud of me - but i am prouder of you - look around and see how they look - how you are not like that anymore...thank you Mom for caring about yourself and me enough to keep healthy....you gave me the best graduation present i could ever ask for". If the special Mass didn't make me cry - those special words certainly did. So when you think you can't make it - go for a walk. cry. curse. rip up paper. yell out the window. get through the urge, get through the day - add up your stats and count the days you have saved in your life. It goes fast....before you know it, you will be where i am. Before i know it - i will be where some of the incredible non-smokers are on this site...we can do it because we want to. We choose life and smoking isn't life. So my milestone is bigger than i thought it would be tomorrow...i made my daughter as proud of me as i am of her. Any idea what that feels like? Yup, i bet you all do. Enjoy your weekends...non-smokers!!!

Count me in. The last time I started smoking was on a saturday. Last night I had some coffee and as I was driving from Starbucks drinking it, I reached into my pockets looking for ciggs and a lighter. Then I realized I din't smoke any more. It was strange but good, I think
