OT- Day 6 without smoking

Well, today has been Day # 6 without a cigarette!  I only think about them a little bit--especially when I am in the car.  I know this just comes from pure habit, so I've been keeping sf gum in the car.  That seems to be helping.   I began taking the new Rx Chantix a while back.  I did not quit on the particular day they want you to quit on, but i slowed waaaaay down.  Gradually they just started to taste nasty, which is wonderful. IF (and that's a BIG IF) I am able to continue being smoke-free, it will be the Chantix that did it.  It REALLY takes your mind off smoking. Smokers:  Don't worry about me.  I will NEVER be one of those holier than thou"  ex-smokers. Y'all have a fun and safe Memorial Day! JoAnn

Tigger Congrats on quitting smoking.  I am so proud of you.  I recently quit also, April 7th was my day i stopped.  I am like you I will never be one of those holier than thou type ex smokers either.  Even though I don't like the smell of them now, I do let my hubby smoke in the car while I am driving.  I don't think he should suffer just because I quit.  He has cut wayyyyy down from where he was but has made it perfectly clear he doesn't want to quit and I respect his decision.  So, in saying  that, I commend your attitude and I hopeyou stay smoke free for the rest of your life.  Good luck and hang in there. Hugs

JoAnn congrats on your success so far!  Keep it up.  Having started and stopped a few times myself I know how hard it is.  I have heard good things about the Chantix.  Maybe I should look into it.  :) Courtney

Joann Im so proud of you!!!!!! You go girl I miss our dancers and clappers from the old board I dont like this one at all, But any way Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Im a lil concerned you say ( a Big If) leading me to think you didnt do this because YOU wanted to? I learned the hard way and hundreds of dollars I had to want this so be strong you will get through this. And I to said the samething I wasnt gonna be a holier than thou ex smoker lol, be careful, everything changed after your smokefree for a while you will get it after a while. I was just telling another one of (our) friends she needed to quit yesterday hehe she knows who she is. Love ya either way but congrats Joann quitting is a very hard thing to do. 

Congratulations JoAnn !!!   I am sure it is a hard thing to do - I have never smoked so I am sure I do not appreciate how hard it is but I think it is hard to give up anything you have done for a long time. So I wish you lots of luck... Jackie

JoAnn, Congratulations on your dedication to a smoke-free life!  What a great gift to give yourself.  I've not smoked, bu****ched my husband quit several times - this last one (a few years ago) seems to have been his last "quit".  It's such a struggle, but well worth it. Keep up the good work and keep busy...he tells me it keeps your mind off the "need" for a cigarette.   Way to go!!!  Keep us posted on your awesome progress! Hugs, Chele

Way to to Tigger!!!!!  What a hard thing to do. I am so proud of you. I cant wait to see you again, are you coming to the FFP lunch on the 30th? Tootles Cathy
