August Quitters

[karen49]

I am approaching 90 days. I quit 2 years ago & lasted 6 mos., but gained so much weight I started smoking again. I am surprised this time, even approaching 90 days, there are days the urge to smoke is really bad!! I'm ok when we go to the bar, it's like I'm ready for it then, but it's at the oddest times I crave a cigarette. I'm starting to do the hand-to-mouth thing now when I crave a smoke. So far I'm still holding my own with my weight.

HI Karen, I quit on 8-24-09
  We sound alot alike. Stress seems to be my biggest trigger too.
  I'm learning slowly how to handle it with my new life as a nonsmoker. I also have a hubby here that still smokes (outside only) Really bugs me though...but it's his lungs and have to pray he will quit one day.

61 days! 61 days down.....a lifetime to go. I still want a smoke sometimes, I even dream about smoking! My biggest problem has been the binge eating instead of smoking. My weight loss goals are not going to be met for Oct. I sure hope these urges go away soon or I find a better way to handle them. To all of us August Quitters that are still quit, WE ROCK!!!

  it's been 81 days for me and i just had another smoking dream last night. i haven't had one in a while and this one really got to me. but i shook it off and am feeling well, again.

My quit date is today: 08/01/10: Last cigarette was last night at 10:00 p.m. I frequently visit with my neighbors and we would enjoy a glass of wine, coversation, and a CIGARETTE. This past activity will pose as my biggest hurdle in staying smoke free.

Today was my quit date and so far I'm ok. I havent had a cigarette since last night. My trigger will most likely be my boyfriend. He's still smoking. I'm going to try my best
