 Hello TNGirl
Sounds like you are off to a great start and it will keep getting easier each day .The crafts project is a awesome ideal to give your hands something to hold . I held a pencil for a while . another thing i found helpful was to set goals . like a month mark , then 3 months , 6 months and so on . reward yourself at each goal . maybe a dinner out , or new pair of shoes . anything to mark the goal . I can't describe to you the feeling you will get when you reach that 1 year mark . I felt so many things , free , healthy , in control of my own life . breathing easy . keep up the good work and you can make it . I will be cheering for you :) Billy H . P.S congrats of making one of the best choices you could ever make . on quitting .

Hi BillyH,
  Thanks for your support and Congrats on your quitting smoking.  I am now on day 6 and no smoking.  It is just now beginning to get a little easier each day and I do feel much better already.  Each time I get a craving I grab a hard candy and it seems to help a lot.  I also started a craft to keep my hands busy.  I am going to do this!

Hello TNGirl , 
 I am known as Gadget044 on here / or Billy H . KyGuy here . I am on day 446 . the 20th of this month will make a year and 3 months for me . I want to encourage you to not give up . I smoked for 35 years and then quit cold turkey . I just made a choice that nothing was going to stop me from reaching my goal . You can do it to , and it does get easier . I am at the point I don't even have cravings any more or they are so far between each that I can't remember when the last one was . Something that helped me was to find a healthy snack , I used peanuts and whenever i wanted a smoke , i would eat a few peanuts . i did that for the first couple months . I can tell you i feel so much better and can breath easy now . You just have to keep telling yourself you are the one in control and dont give up . You can do this . and you have a new life awaiting .  Keep on keeping on Gadget044 /Billy H
