Hey Tim ! Nice story.. glad to hear that you didn't just quit temporarily. But, I would like to add that you shouldn't be an addict always. The desire and whole smoking thing will go away with time. I quit before for about a year and a half. I was completely over smoking and never wanted to smoke and the smell even repelled me. I started back to smoking simply to fit in with a crowd. I had to force myself too. Just stop thinking about cigarettes and act like they were never part of your life. I am doing this now and only 18 days in and I hardly even get cravings anymore. 8 months is so great that I envy you... I would be so happy to be as far in as you.. Don't ever go back for anything or anyone.. Hang Tuff !

Hey Tim.. Great to see you again. I often wonder what happen to those of you who disappeared. I remember you going to Alaska. You were supose to come back and let us know about the trip. :p Glad to hear you are doing well. At almost 8 months, it does feel great to be free. One year will be here before you know it! The SMOBERS will celebrate! See you then!

i dont get on the net as much as i used to so i am just dropping in to say hello.8 months is quickly approaching for me and i see that some of the people who quit about the same time i did are still regular posters.i also see that alot of new people are here. i want to offer all of you hope in your quit.set your sights on a selfish goal and take off after it. i wanted to go to alaska all of my life and climb some of the mountains and spend time with nature. I quit 3 months before i was to leave and i knew if I smoked i would never make it up to the top.it made my quit easier in the begining and by the time i got back it was just foolish to entertain the idea of having a smoke.dont let me fool you at almost 8 months i still think of smokes daily and crave once in awhile but it gets easier, if i decided i was going to smoke the idea would pass before i could get to the store to buy them. i am an addict, i will always be an addict but i have a new life without nicotine. i hope all of you can feel as good about yourself as i do.
