I'm Proud To Say, " I'm Smoke Free ! "

Profile Information

About Me:
i am a married mother of 5, 3 boys and 2 girls! my oldest is 17 and my youngest just turned 2 ! i'm desperately going to break the habbit, not only for me, but for all my kids too. i'm tired of paying for something that is literally killing me. i'm tired of coughing upon waking up in the mornings, tired of headaches daily, tired of weezing constantly and always huffing and puffing - it's embarassing. i know that i can quit and stay quit, although everyone i know smokes. i am determined to beat this habbit that i have had for 20 years now. i realize that i have an addiction and it's time to put a stop to it once and for all. this is the second time i have attempted to quit. there will never be another "good enough" reason for me to light up ever again!


DAY 10 - today i have that nagging constant urge to smoke. no matter what i do to keep myself busy, it just doesn't go away. it's always nagging at me. i know there is no way i am lighting up again, but this is really driving me nuts!

DAY 11- today went real well. no cravings at all. if it keeps going like this, it's going to be a breeze from here on out!


DAY 12 - that nagging feeling was back again today. i thought maybe i was done with it. i've been doing everything to keep busy and to keep from feeling it. i've mowed my lawn more times than i can count, i bet i have the best lawn on the block! i've been on several walks with my kids, shopping, swimming etc, but i just can't shake this feeling. i kept telling myself today to just go buy a pack but the other side of me said look at all this work i have done! i will have to start all over! hopefully this ends soon!

DAY 16 - what a difference each day makes! i now have 16 days behind me and wow, what a difference i feel! the constant urge to light up is finally gone! i can't wait to be sitting here this time next year!! good luck everyone.


DAY 22 - wow! i can't believe i'm almost at a month! i do have to admit that i have had a few constant urge days once again but i'm making it through. when i find my mind wondering around the thought of a smoke, i quickly change my thoughts to something else. i have heard that after a month has passed that you barely think of it at all. i can't wait till that day comes.

DAY 31- i think that day has arrived! the past few days i have barely had the urge for a cigarette at all. yesterday i celebrated my 1 month quit and i made myself so proud! so many wonderful people on here congratulated me and that made it even feel more worth while! my own family doesn't even seem to care that i have quit or even acknowledge it. ( they are all smokers except my dad who quit 3 years ago) i feel great!

DAY 51 - i feel like a totally different person these days.i have takin up jogging to help lose some of the weight i have gained. as they say, you have to replace smoking with something so i replaced smoking with running! i can breathe so much better these days. i do have to admit that i still have a craving every now and then but never nothing major. life is good! =)

DAY 100- i made it! triple digits! wow i feel amazing! i do think of smoking or wanting a cigarette every one in awhile, i'm sure that it has crossed every quitters mind once in awhile, but i know i will never smoke again! i love being able to breathe,smell and be the person i am today!!!
