How about it?

[edith2]

We need some new discussions on here! How is your quit going? Does anyone have any concerns that this group can give you support with? Is anyone here coming back from a relapse? Any funny stories? Stories of inspiration? Enquiring minds want to know.....

I HAVEN'T RELAPSED. SO GLAD OF THAT. I BELIEVE IF I PICKED UP 1 CIGARETTE AND SMOKED IT ,I WOULD BE SO HOOKED AGAIN. IT SCARED ME WHEN I WAS EARLY IN MY QUIT STAGE. I DREAMED I SMOKED AND WAS YELLING AT EVERYONE FOR LETTING ME DO IT. SO GLAD IT WAS JUST A DREAM. ALL HANG IN THERE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I WOULD AFFORD TO SMOKE NOW. OURS ARE UP TO 5.25 A PACK.

Someone posted here once that a large % (don't remember the exact %) do not make it past 5 months. Does anyone know if that is correct? You guys hitting the 6, 7, 8th months could let us know how you are feeling about your quit now.

Edith... I'm going to be on 7 months on April 11. It does get easier as the months tick off. Libby, I made it past 5 months! It has helped me a lot coming to these stop smoking sites...mostly to help others, but sometimes I still need encouragement. I've learned that whatever the traumatic event, smoking is just not an option. I've learned self control in a lot of other areas of my life as well as wanting to light up. I think we've all learned that we need each other!

Poppycock! I've never heard that and I don't believe it for a second!
