Three months

Congrats! 3 months is awesome!! Is this the longest you have ever gone without smoking? Either way it is truly an impressive accomplishment.
 
Do you host a large group for Thanksgiving? I've been hosting since last year because I don't have enough time to travel home to see my family, so my parents come to me. I'm actually vegan (no animal products), my mom eats fish but no meat and my dad is a die-hard carnivore, so it's truly a challenge to cook for everybody. I pretty much do all of the standard Thanksgiving fare, except vegan, which honestly doesn't affect much except for the turkey which I made from tofu, and I buy some real pre-cooked turkey for my dad so he doesn't give me too much of a hard time about it!

Congrats on 3 months smoke free!  You've got this beat now, and it's something extra to be thankful for during your Thanksgiving celebration.    P.S, you're appetizers sound delicious, you'll have to let me know how they turn out.  (I'm not much of a cook) lol
 
Best wishes.

    Cigarettes Not Smoked

It has been three months since I smoked my last cigarette! The time has finally started to move a little more quickly. I actually stopped counting the days at some point in the past month. I am still having to wrestle with the occasional urge to smoke, but I don't even know if I would call it a "craving" at this point because it passes so quickly. The biggest change of all is that when I am around smokers now, I don't feel sorry for myself anymore. I feel sorry for them.
 
It's almost Thanksgiving here in the US and I am so thankful to have made it this far that I could cry. The years and years I spent smoking feel like a bad dream that I have finally woken up from. I am so grateful to have had the support of the people in my life and to have had you all. I read your posts every day and they help me so much.
 
I host Thanksgiving at my place so I do the turkey and other folks bring the rest, but I do have fun making creative appetizers. This year I am doing sun-dried tomato deviled eggs and jalapenos stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in candied bacon. I'd love to hear what other people are making if anyone feels like sharing!
