[heybales219]

I went almost 5 months too, but I feel off the wagon around Thanksgiving. Haven't been smoking as much as I was, but putting them down again today. Started back on Chantix but so far, it's been alot harder than it was the first time. I have several friends who smoke so I've got to try to stay away from them for a little while until I'm sure I'm over it. Asking for your :prayers, it's an extremely busy and stressful time of the year for me at work too so I pray the "claws" don't come out! :heh

day 4 :) Yay it was easier today ........ whew, I have a feeling that this may be IT ! I sure hope it is. I have tried and failed so many times but this time it seems different, I sure hope so!!! I even told everyone that I was trying to quit and I ususaly don't tell anyone at all in case I fail. I figured that would also help me. The patches are making me dream wierd dreams though so tonight I am taking it off before bed !!! I am very tired too for some reason. Well thank you for your continued support and prayers I sure need them. I figure though that if everyone on this board has quit then I can too!!!!!

congrats to everyone who has made the decision to quit this nasty habit!
stay strong!! lean on the Lord!! He will get you through everything!

make sure to drink a lot of fluids - water and juices. The juices detoxify your body. One good juice that is great is V8 VFusion. There are 4 different flavors. It's veggie and fruit juice and they taste incredible!!

carrots and celery are good things to munch on. frozen grapes are as well! lemon drops work too...there are a lot of things you can use to diminish the oral fixation. just keep trying til you find something that works for you.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I have been quit for 10 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, 5 hours, 42 minutes and 44 seconds (329 days).

I have saved $987.71 by not smoking 6,584 cigarettes.

I have saved 3 Weeks, 1 Day, 20 hours and 40 minutes of my life.

My Quit Date: 2/17/2007 10:00 AM

In one month and 5 days it will be a year since I quit smoking. Through God's help, I was able to break the addiction.

Praising Him!!

7 days !!! Wooohoo and feeling quite proud and sassy. I am getting excited about it now, not so tense and nervous and thrilled at the possiblility that I will be free of the prison of that addiction. Thank you Lord for your help and strength, and ofcourse all of you here at RR :)

Good for you!!! I know how hard it is...I smoked for 18 years, starting at 14. Ugh. I have been quit for a year and 3 months, with only one cheat that whole time. So that is pretty good. I never want to go thru quitting again. Stay strong and you can do everything through Christ who strengthens you!
