I Made it Through Hell Week!

Good morning my amazing friends-

Well I am 7 days smoke free today!  I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through one week if anyone had asked me a week ago.  My first day was awful! 🙂  We all remember those!  I took it hour by hour.  I have a long way to go, but I am so glad Hell week is over.  Heck week here I come!

Everyone's support has been invaluable to me this past week.  You all are just priceless!  How will I ever repay you for helping me?  I can choose not to smoke each day and pay it forward with other newbies like myself. 

I hope everyone has a fabulous smoke-free day! 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you my dear friends-

Rachel

Whoo hoo!! Well done Rachel! Week one is definately the hardest. I'm not saying it's smooth sailing from here on out, but it is easier each week I rack up. You made it through one normal week of your life without smoking and that's amazing!

Keep up the good work and keep shining!

Congrats Rachel ... it's amazing to have week 1 done ... you are doing all the right things and you'll see great results.

I'm not lying: you'll have other tough days, but you'll have a lot of wonderful moments that will make you stronger and stronger!

Enjoy your quit.

Congratulations Rachel! You made it this far, and will continue to make it, because of your attitude and listening to the elders here. You can't pay it back but rather pay it forward by sticking around for future newbies. I plan to do the same.

Congratulations!!!!! ONE WEEK is such an amazing accomplishment! Driving was tough on me too. I just cranked the radio & sang a lot!!! Also had a little cooler with drinks & snaks...anything to chew on. I drove chewing a straw for months! xo
