Congratulations

A month is a lot in the beginning.

I consider it your first milestone in a quit.

Now, let's get you through the next 3 1/2 months.

What To Expect In The First Four Months 

Congratulations on your one precious month of Smokefree living and counting WTG, keep moving forward and stacking up your precious Days WON....

It WILL get easier - I promise, but you must give it the time it takes.  You smoked for a long time, and it is a proven difficult addiction to quit....

but you CAN do it! Proof is in your MONTH quit.  That is huge!

So awesome.....bet they craves are not as bad as that first week though

It does get better and better and better....Hugs~Missy

Obviously you're doing it all "right."  Not much to say?  One month kind of says it all.  You are where the person on the night before their quit wishes they were.  You are so much farther ahead than you were a month ago, but you can't comprehend it because it still seems hard.  I guarantee you it's not as hard as it was that first week.  The hardness softens in increments.  Some of those incremental changes are imperceptible.  There are breakthroughs along the journey.  Keep them in mind when they happen.  The day you went half a day without a craving.  A whole day without one.  The day you didn't think about cigarettes first thing in the morning.  The day you didn't think about cigarettes at all.  The day you thought about them but didn't want one.  They're all little bits of change that add up eventually to the freedom we hope to achieve - which is not wanting nor needing a cigarette.  This is a strong addiction.  And our cure takes time.  Stay the course.

You are right - it will pass and it will get better! Congrats on one month! Celebrate each and every day of freedom!

Congratulations on your 1 month of freedom.  To go out you have to go through it. Go back to the beginning and take a look even write down all the positives and benefits there is to not smoking that you reaped so far. That will help motitvate you to keep on track. It really does get better with time.  Stay strong and keep with NOPE you get you where you want to be is FREE!!

Congrats on your 1month.  I'm at 22.  It ant easy.  But by dam you are doing it.

Congratulations on your 1 month nicotine free!  It's a huge accomplishment so be proud of yourself. I totally get the feeling of wow, made a milestone, still sucks. You've just been inducted into No Man's Land.  This really is a difficult time span that can be the slide leading down to smoking again. I used the NML group as another place of support to get through it.  Celebrate your success even if you don't have anyone to celebrate with, do something good for yourself, and be vigilant with whatever you have used this past month to keep your quit on track! 

Congratulations!!! I’m just ahead of you.  Keep strong you are doing it!
