3 weeks, I'm amazed and proud of myself but I will never let down my guard because I know it will be easy to slip in my quit (my friend Maggie showed me just how easily that can come about). But like Maggie, should I slip and fall, I will get right back with the program and my Original Quit.
I'm beginning to fill in the spare time I found I had not smoking or at least it feels that way, maybe I'm just adjusting to not smoking anymore.
Does there come a time when you don't think about not smoking anymore, don't think about what you are doing without, thinking about your quit, the Chantix, the side effects?
I sure hope so cause I'm tired of thinking about it, I want it to just be my life now - no cigarettes, no smoking.
How is everyone doing?
Thanks encouragers and supporters and friends - I could not have gotten this far without you!!
My admission & vow:
I am an addict, I understand that I will always be one cigarette away from my pack a day habit.
I vow not to smoke today.

Wow, many, many congrats on 3 weeks! That really is just plain awesome!
I've quit in the past and did eventually reach a point where I didn't think about smoking much at all. It's different for everyone, I think, but it's out there waiting for you, I promise.
Yes, it's almost scary how easy it is for a non-smoker who used to smoke to, well, smoke. I'm just glad that it's over and that I'm back on my little track. I do hope that you will not go off where I did. Not everyone does.
I also meant to say that I liked your quit meter at the top and love that you added a picture!
Thanks Maggie. I felt like I shouldn't be so secretive about myself. Did you notice I was holding a cigarette in that photo? I thought it was appropriate for this particular blog.
My quit meter reminds me, I also have one on my personal blog instead of talking about my quit on there all the time.
Yea! Congratulations! Before you know it you'll have a month under your belt.
Wow, 3 wks! That's a milestone to be proud of. Congratulations!
I think that it depends on the person how long it takes to stop thinking about smoking or wanting to smoke.
My husband and daughter stopped thinking about smoking right away and never get the urge. My sister on the other hand quit smoking 10 years ago and still thinks about it all the time. She will never smoke again, but she still gets the urge to.
I'm hoping that I'm not like my sister and I hope everyone here isn't. lol
You're doing great, keep up the good work!
