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.
