Congrats, Mama!  I hope to be in the same position you're in come next January! It is hard, though. I'm really, really depressed not smoking. I quit January 2. |

Sorry, just seeing this now. I quit cold turkey, its the only way I can do it. I set a date in my mind and that was it. I didnt want to wean myself because I think for me anyway, it would have dragged it out. I wanted cut and dry withdrawal and be done with it  I do think quit aids are good for some people though, and support them if they help people quit.I gained about 10 lbs over the last year, but I had been overweight to begin with  So now instead of being an overweight smoker, I am an overweight ex smoker who can run 3.5 miles and is getting rid of the weight!

| Ricochet | I also see a ticker for weight loss, did you gain a lot of weight when you quit? |

Good for you FSW!! You wont ever regret quitting, but there is little doubt you would regret starting up again. Keep it up!

Mama!!! I was bartending the last two nights and totally thought that I would cave and have one... luckily it was to fucking cold to go outside even if I had wanted one (which I didn't). I love being smoke free!

Im still doing GREAT! I cant believe its already been almost a month. Damn, that went really fast Surprisingly, I got over the cravings pretty fast. It only bugged me maybe once in the last 10 days and that was when I was out last weekend at a smoky club. It was hard being around so many smokers. But I didnt cave Thanks for asking

Remember that the first three days are the hardest, and once you get past that it will feel much easier. One thing that really helped me were Lifesavers Wintogreen mints. I popped one in my mouth, and once my mouth got good and minty, I'd inhale deeply. It's almost like smoking a menthol. It was very satisfying.  You can do it!

I woke up this morning for the first time in months without feeling like my throat and mouth were on fire with pain!  It was amazing. I had average morning breath... no 'knock you the fuck out burning esophogus' smell Day 2 is going just very slightly better, but KEEP FOOD AWAY FROM ME  I can see this is going to be a problem already

You're going to be thinking about smoking for a while, just hang in there and don't do it. It only takes 3 days for all the nicotine to be out of your system, then you only have to deal with the brain part of it. You can do it! If you made it through one day, you can make it through 2, then 3, and before you know it you'll have been quit for a year. Just try to keep busy and enjoy how clean your mouth is! |

Day 1 I am struggling. I had my last cigarette last night around 9:00. I woke up today at 7:30 and have been wanting one ever since. This is hard. HARD. Im terrified that I will put back on the weight I just lost, which would suck ass  Right now Im just trying to get through the next few minutes. I already told some people that "I Quit" so I feel like I cant go back on that, or Id be really embarassed. I feel like screaming. This is HARD
