Day 25 was a success

Yesterday was 25 DOF for me and I am so excited to say that I am still SMOKE FREE!!! I have to admit I was a bit worried for the evening as it was hubby's company picnic at the baseball game and most of those that he works with are smokers (hubby is not)...but it turns out that my anxiety about potentially having anxiety was all for nothing. I successfully sat and chatted with those folks and not once did I crave (even while they sat there puffing away, looking like little fish with their cheeks sucked in as they inhaled). There were lots of questions...How long have you been quit? How did you do it? etc....I remember being that smoker, with a cigarette in my hand, knowing that quitting was the right thing to do, but still a slave to the addiction. I gave them all of my honest answers and shared how great I feel since my quit. I am wide eyed (ok not yet, I haven't finished my coffee) and ready to take on day 26! There is no way I could have made it this far, or even made it through last evening, if it were not for the support of this wonderful group. So once again, I shout THANK YOU!!! to all who have shared your words of wisdom. May you all have a wonderful Saturday!!

I began smoking, stealing mom's cigs out of her purse at 13 years old. I have quit a million times before, my first serious quit when I was in my 30's and that quit lasted a little over 7 years....after halfheartedly plenty of other quits lasting from 1/2 days to maybe a week or so, I am hoping this next attempt is my last...As someone who has become an expert in cigarette withdrawals, I'm getting kind of sick of it and this time I am looking for support from this site....
