Hi Everyone,
Haven't posted anything here for quite some time. After doing session 5, I decided it was time to quit smoking. I have smoked about 1 1/2 packs a day for 27 years. I few of us on the forums got together and started a Quit Smoking Support Group.
I am extremely proud to say that I haven't smoked in 11 days, and I never will again!
I had given up caffeine and all the sugar I could months ago, so this was my final straw holding me back.
Thanks to the program and the support,I finally got rid of a very bad habit.

That is wonderful! I am trying to stop smoking too. I'm smoking 4-6 cigarettes a day and I want to stop completely. I would like the support from your Quit Smoking Support Group. Is that through the program forums?

What a wonderful thing! Congratulations. In January I am coming up on one year since I quit. It's definitely one of the best things I ever did! I smoked for six years. I went through periods where I would smoke a pack a day to just a few a day & I had tried to quit various times. I am glad it stuck this time.
You should be very proud of yourself!

Last Oct. was my two year anniversary.Congrats on quitting. Isn't it funny how little time it takes to feel like " I will never smoke again"? I remember when I was 90% sure I was never gonna smoke again how angry I was at myself. Not for quitting but for smoking for 23 years.Once I got beyond the crutch of smoking and physical cravings I kept thinking to myself "WHY the F did I go through so much misery if it was so easy to quit!" All the times I poured water on my pack only to drive to the store a half hour later!!!!! I was so angry and yet so relieved. To me nicotine is the devil incarnate!!!!!I once had a dream I was smoking and woke up in a cold sweat.I was so relieved the dream wasn't real !!!!!!!Welcome to freedom!!!!!
