I've struggled with quiting, but now I know I've got to
I know it's going to affect my health!!

Wow today I made 1 week without a puff,,, Yahoo!!!!!!!!! I have had some moments when I thought just one but I know I can't have l or even l puff,,, This is it,,, I Am A None Smoker !! When I get weak I try to remember how I have felt before I stopped My chest and stomach were burning,, it scared me,, I don't want to forget that. Well I hope all of you that have stopped will be strong and take one moment, hour, day at a time. I can't wait for 2 weeks :-)

Well I've made it past a month and have done pretty good
after the first couple of weeks. For some reason this week has
really been a struggle,, I'm feeling frustrated and really tempted
to smoke,, it's really hard. I've gained almost 10 lbs and I guess
my motivation has kindof gone down I know I can't go back and
keep reminding myself how I hated where I was I quit.
I'll get through just a stage.
Thanks Marsha for the sweet note. Yesterday will filled with doing paper work for the Denver Police and talking to their financial crimes unit.
But today, I am back on top of the world!
Nothing or no one will come between me and this quit. It is very sacred and precious to me.
Come Sat. it will have been a month and I don't know where the time went. This is just a natural for me now, and hope that it stays that way.
Have you been doing okay???
I am sorry I haven't reached out to my friends more then I have, bad, bad, bad!
I will start to make up for it.
Today is a snow day, so I will be on line most of the day. U hope you have a great one!
Marsh,
I couldn't be doing better and I know what you mean about this support site, it is very awesome!
I am going down to my daughters (50 miles away) over the weekend to spend some much needed time with my grandchildren. They have been one of my biggest motivators.
Strong I shall stay and I wish the same for you!
Marsha, Just wanted to keep in touch. I have looked at my home page and noticed that there are some buddies that I have not been in contact with lately.
So 18 days, how fantastic. We should be so proud of ourselves, even if we are still considered "newbies"!
I just wanted to celebrate all weekend long. My husband thinks when you celebrate anything it should be for a whole week, especially birthdays! He is just a really big kid at heart.
It is such a great feeling....my lungs feel much clearer, my mind....everything.
Hope you are doing well, just wanted to check. When I get home from work today I am going to have to start contacting other people that are friends that I haven't chatted with for awhile.
Keep Strong........18 days! You go girl! I'm still trying to catch up!
Today is 2 weeks haven't even had a puff, still can't believe
I've done it this time after countless times of trying. I've been really
sick though with a cold and bronchitas. Went to doc she asked
if I had been coughing up brown flem from my lungs, she said when
you stop smoking your lungs will clear out the tar and nicotine,,,,
Nasty,,,,, before I would have smoked sick or not.
I just want to thank everyone on here , it has really helped
me to have a support group to go to.
Hope everyone is hanging in there ,,, One Day at a Time !!!
Be Stong !!!!
