I've seen many who have fell off the wagon many months ago returning again.  I also see many new blogs offering so much encouragement from older members who I haven't seen on here for a long time.  

Just remember whether quit for many years or just a few months, we all take each other's hands and work our way through this quit.  We all had the apprehension and the wonder of will there be life after cigarettes.  Amazingly enough, I can tell you that there is.  Most of us on here young and old in terms of our quits will tell you we all started off apprehensive, worried, in a panic on what comes next.

The first 30 days are the roughest, but then you relearn how to live life without smoking.  You change your behavior in how you deal with life's little stressors and frustrations.  Smoking never took them away except for maybe 5 or 10 minutes and then it was right back.  Life really does go on and on to the next day without that cigarette.  It holds no magic powers nor answers no questions.  It just simply makes you weak, sick and slowly kills you over time.  But you know that already.  So tell me, why do you give that little white tube so much power in your life?

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
