Hi... I've been reading lots of posts from those of you in the first hours, days, weeks of your quits. Your posts are strong affirmations for some of us further into--still early-on--in our quits. It reminds me of a journey that finally ends full circle. Our words encourage you "critical-times" quitters to keep on. Trust me on this: THE DISCOMFORT WILL PASS!! Your words remind us "still-early-on" quitters that the trace feelings of discomfort remaining continue to dissipate with each passing day. The feeling of breaking out of the invisible chains of nicotine addiction is surreal, empowering. We feel like if we can do this, we can do anything.... if we have done this, you will do it too. Don't obsess about minutes, hours, days or weeks. Instead distract, look forward. Put one foot in front of the other. Afterall, when you think about it, it's just another ordinary miracle today.

Full circle, you help us remember, we help you look forward. The circle has neither a beginning or an end, it just keep going round and round.

you are so getting an add as my friend Nan, thanks!  Well spoken, and just what i needed to hear!  I went to your profile expecting to see that you had been smoke free for 20 years!  All each of us has is the day at a time.  Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that is why it's called the present.

expecting a miracle!!

Linda... you are doing GREAT!! You have the right attitude about all this and you're already through the toughest of times. Yes, there will be more, and yes, they too will pass. Keep it up, Linda, you won't believe how quickly the time goes by.

It' is now day 7 and continue to smoke 3 cigarettes a day.  I am upset with myself.  I don't smoke the entire cigarette only half. This doesn't make any sense.  What's going on with me?  Is this a mental block?
