I made it to Friday.  Today is day 46 without a smoke and day 5 without any nicotine.  Day 3 without nicotine almost got me, but I stayed the course.  Day 4 was so much easier.   I'm learning how to refocus my attention elsewhere.  Instead of dwelling on the fact that ....I used to Sm_*K* when I did this or that.  I'm refocusing on how great it is to have 2 hands free while I'm doing this or that.  My next quilt will not smell like a cigarette.  I hated pulling up flowers and weeds with a cig in the mouth getting smoke in my eyes.  Coffee tastes so much better. Can sit for an entire game of dominoes without headed out for a you know what.  I find I really enjoy Guitar Hero (70's wild child in me).  Anyway, I'm ready for the weekend and look forward to my life with the smokes.  Today is day 46 without a smoke and I will not smoke today.  Good luck and stay strong everyone.  We can make it thru these tough days.  We just have to really want to get rid of this nasty habit!!!!   Always remember the reasons you came to this website.  Why did you want to quit.  Remember these points and repeat them daily.

congrats on staying smoke free  i remember holding my new born baby and smoking  this was back in the 70's when the had a smoking area by the elevator i spent more time there than in my room,   when i think back to that time it makes me realize how much of my life was devoted to smoking... i thank god that he has given me a strong body and a strong mind to be able to do something about it... i regret that i didnt realize it way back then.. but that is past and i am working on the future now... i am now 21 days into my quit.. thats 3 weeks and i will not quit quitting

Congratulations. I'm wondering myself how it is going to feel to step down and eventually go off the patch.

You're doing fantastic.
