A week! A whole friggin week!!! I can not believe it! To all of you who have helped me through this, THANK YOU! I honestly don't think I would have made it this far without your help. There were a couple of times there where it got really close, but I came here instead, and haven not taken a single puff. The cravings are getting less frequent and more manageable. I am starting to be able to smell and taste things again. I feel cleaner somehow. I have saved myself $35. I haven't done 140 smokes worth of damage to myself. I can breathe more deeply. I know the battle isn't over yet, not by a longshot, but I feel as though I will beat this. Bring on day 8!!!

Congrats to you Scott. I thought about you this weekend as the Chargers played the Steelers and wondered how you were doing with your quit, now I know. Sorry about your Chargers losing, but hey.....we can be losers together, my Titans didn't do any better. 🙂 Have a good day.

Gosh, A week or over for a few of us. Congrats Scott. Nothing in life that is hard is easy unless you work hard to obtain it...and this smoking thing is a biggie. Are any of you going to put the money aside that you have spent on smokes??? I am. I got my daily call from Chantix and they said that I had saved $40.50....pretty darn cool to know you have extra cash around if you need it.
Congrats again Scott....you really made it to a big milestone! Hang in there...nEXt week we are at 1/2 a month. That sound pretty good.

I think that day 8 and 9 have been the easiest so far! What about you? Only 6 more hours until day 10!!! I really think I may be able to do this!...Although I may end up being a gum addict:)
