Nice Job---keep it up. I know its hard but you'll get through it, the nicotine is already out of your system if you did it cold turkey---its all psychological now.

good luck

Congrats !!!!!  And good luck staying off of them.  Lots of people on the board have been quitting, so lean on them if you feel yourself slipping.  Stay away from me ...... I'm still a stinky girl !

I thought I had the record!   :)

Great Job!   In addition to the multiple health benefits provided by quitting smoking, let us know if it helps with the CH's as well.

Good for you!  I stopped cold-turkey 8 years ago.  The first 3 weeks was the worst, smooth sailing after that.   ;)

It's the best thing you did for your health.

Me too!!!!

I"m getting real crabby though. My wife quit at the same time. She's crabbier than me.

Now I can't chain smoke to take my mind off of my screaming head when I get hit.

I quit last March.  I have around 1/2 pack /mo.  Oh almost forgot, and I chew 6-8 pieces of that nic gum a day. Costs more than smoking and i think it wears out my teeth and jaw...

Hi,

You can do it.
The worst part is over.
Physical addiction only lasts 3 days.

The physical part is the easiest to get past. It's the mental thing that is hard.

What do smokers do when they are bored, in traffic, pissed off, waiting for a train, wating for a red light, finished with a good meal, relaxing, done having good sex?

I've got to find replacement activities for all of those situations and hope it works.

I figure that I'm saving at least 6 dollars a day right now. I'll keep adding that up and share the total with my wife when we are convinced that we 'Made It'.
