Looking back when I was just a newbie on this little sight---Now it's 6 months later without a PUFF!!!!!!

I really know this sight help save my life. God bless the creative minds that thought of this. Thanks to the people that thought enough about me to send me supportive information to help me. I bloded several times a day in the beginning and at least everyday for the 1st 2 months. I must say the 3rd and 4th months was my hardest. I was educated about what smoking do to my lungs and body addiction on nicotine, but my selfestem was low. I did not know how to enjoy the money that I save, my health was better than ever and I had more time on my hands. I was thinking a smoke would be nice...I was thinking you now know that you can quit this habit at any time so go smoke...(Now remember I had 3 months under my belt without a puff)...The mind did not have any recent memories of how it was when i didn't smoke and I didnot give it new fun memories of how it is now. So I start small, started taking long drives with hubby, spending more money on my grandkids, taking short weekend getaway and etc. It's almost 6 months and I am sooooo thankful for this site.

Six months is so awesome. Congratulations!

Stop and take a cool deep breath. Remember trying to do that the day you quit? I bet you couldn't feel it deep into your lungs like you can now. That's my little daily reminder of why I quit and why I'm not going back.
