One week without the chains of smoking

One whole week free from smoking, something to celebrate today! To those of you who are just thinking about getting free, let me say that you can do it. When my now grown children were small and attempting to do something difficult, I would say,"If it were easy, everyone could do it. If it were impossible, no one could do it." That sums up quitting smoking for me.

I appreciate this site and being able to read the posts from others who are already free, and further down this road. I tamp down my jealosy for those who can say they are free for a year. Thanks for the encouragement!

CONGRATS!! I'm back on Day 2 now; you've given me something to look forward to.  I, too am jealous of the EXers with big numbers under their belts; but looked at another way, wow! look what's possible!!

Congrats Kathy!    It takes education, support and determination to beat this each day.   One of the biggest supports for me is this site...great people!     I also go to the Daily Pledge page each day and promise to stay smoke free that day.      Come check us out, ok?

Stay strong!

Kathy,  I am at 4 days today ... but coming up behind you.  So looking forward to the 1 week mark.   Have you picked out something to celebrate your success?  You have the money now that you did not have to buy any cigarettes.
