I quit smoking 8 days ago and have kept it a secret because I just couldn't talk about it at first. This is the first time I've quit in 30 years and I will make sure it's my last. The first 3 days were the worst, but it's gotten better every day, except for today. Today was rough because after not recieving my child support for three weeks, I find out that my ex is running. I could have easily sat down with a pack of smokes and smoked the whole thing, but I didn't. I'm very proud of myself today for getting through such a tough day. Pats myself on the back :-D

I have long hair and since it doesn't end up smelling like smoke a few hours after I wash it, I end up smelling my hair all day, lol.

Well done. I've been smoking for 10 years and have never managed to quit for longer than a few days. I admire anyone who quits.

One thing though, please don't turn into an ex-smoker anti-smoking Nazi, like some do, although I'm sure you're not that sort of person!

Wow, Montana, That's SUPER!

You go, Girl!

Way to be strong!

And, all that good stuff.

If you feel something, it's me. I'm mentally patting you on the back right now.

Stay strong, sister. If you want to do quit, you can. I quit on Nov. 2, 2001, after 27 years. I'd never tried to quit before because I was afraid of failing so when I finally did quit, failing was not an option.
Do not allow yourself to buy another pack of cigarettes. And don't let that ex of yours be the cause of you disappointing yourself.
HANG TOUGH. The cravings last for only a few minutes and they come less and less as each day passes.
As far as becoming a Nazi, my only thing is, I no longer allow smoking in my home. My motto: If I don't smoke in here, no one does.
Just imagine the money you're saving...

No way would I ever become an anti-smoking Nazi. I have dealt with enough of those use to be smokers to last me a lifetime and I swear that I won't be one of them ;-)

Squinney
Awww!!! Thanks girl :-D

Thanks a bunch. I won't become a Nazi either, but like yourself, I no longer allow smoking in my home or my car. No one that comes over smokes anyways, so it'll never even come up.
I have already done the math on the money I'll be saving and I decided to put that money in my savings to save for a new car that I really really want and need :-D

I'm already keeping an eye on that and watching myself. So far my appetite hasn't changed, so I hope it stays that way.

I quit smoking ten or eleven years ago. As I quit drinking at nearly the same time and also changed my dietary habits, I actually lost about 50 pounds. It all depends on the individual. I don't miss any of it one bit.
I had been smoking from early childhood, when the adults smiled to see me break up butts into a home-made corncob pipe, to just over fifty years old.

That's awesome. I also won't drink any alcohol for quite some time, since smoking goes real well with a drink. The temptation would just be too much. I also suspect I may lose some weight by cutting out the alcohol and because I'm more active than I was before. I keep myself busy all the time to keep my mind off of it.
