Eight weeks today

Wow. Can't believe I hit eight weeks (56 days) tonight, cold turkey. Sometimes it seems like this battle has taken 56 months ... some of the days have passed so slowly. Most of them, though, pass relatively painlessly at this point, and that makes me breathe a whole lot easier! In the beginning it was a constant struggle, and while I know that I've only just started my non-smoking journey, it's become much easier already. Cravings come, cravings go and you've just got to let them bounce off. Hang in there everyone, and be humble. Don't ever think you have it beat. I am pledging to myself to always stay humble and NEVER take any days for granted. One at a time, for the rest of my life. Good luck.

Amen.. Don't get too comfy in your ex smoking shoes or before you know it a major craving will spin you around and mess with your resolve. Always stay focused on your commitment. Keep up the good fight. You're doing great!! 56 days is killer!!

a huge congrats to you on 56 days thats great now all you need to do is  to remember FREEDOM MEANS WE SIMPLY CHOOSE TO NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats all there is to it now its not a relapse/slip/bad grade/divorce/break-up/not even a death the only thing that will break your quit now is if you CHOOSE  to take a puff only one powerful little puff  will send us back to full blown addiction so keep your quit going and i will see you on the FREEDOM TRAIL.......................I have been quit for 2 Years, 6 Months, 4 Days, 1 hour, 31 minutes and 16 seconds (919 days). I have saved $9,604.21 by not smoking 50,548 cigarettes. I have saved 5 Months, 3 Weeks, 1 Day, 12 hours and 20 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 8/21/2007 7:58 AM
