whalenda I think putting a bowl of mints where your cigarettes use to be was a WONderful idea, look where it got you! I gave away 8 packs of cigarettes that were left in a carton along with many coupons I had collected and all of my hand carried ashtrays and lighters. I rearranged furniture so that the place on the deck where I used to smoke was no longer there, the butt can was gone, all of the ashtrays were gone, there was a place to sit to relax without puffing away. Of course, I happened to quit in January during a polar vortex so the LAST place I wanted to be was outside. It is seriously the best thing I ever did for myself, I worked hard to quit and to stay quit and this site deserves more credit than I do. I read blogs and I commented, I listened to advice, I wrote blogs. Instead of smoking first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, I came here and I connected with people instead of nicotine. I have NEVER regretted quitting.
CONGRATULATIONS on your first day WON! May there be many, many more.
