I made a decision to stop smoking today

Welcome!
 
Day 1 - 3 is always hard to get through but being on day 9 myself, I can honestly say it is worth the battle with your mind and the habit to not smoke ever again, not even just a drag. I smoked for 12 years and decided that I no longer wanted to be a smoker. I did some research, found this site, started going through the program (a  must) and posting on these forums. It really has been a lifesaver for me. My husband, although supportive, doesn't understand so this site is a great motivator for me, being able to talk to and read from fellow non-smokers.
 
Keep up the great work! Believe in yourself! You can do this!

Dear daisyfi,
 
It is one of the most important, life-changing decisions you will ever make!  Congratulations!
 
Like Cheryl, I smoked for 40 years and I have known Freedom for 8+ years.
 
How are you doing?  Please do stay here on site as much as you can.  Read lots and post!
 
Whatever it takes, just don't smoke!!! 
 
Love Lolly.

You have chosen a great place to come for support. As some one who smoked for close to 40 years and has now been free for more than 8 years, I just want to assure you that it is possible.  And there does come a time when you actually forget about cigarettes for weeks at a time. Pamper yourself, but keep busy. Drink lots of water and start getting some exercise.  You will be surprised how much extra time you have on your hands now.  Cheryl
