Day 27 and still not smoking

How is everyone's quit coming along?
I'm still quit and still want to smoke..........maybe everyone is right, maybe this is just a faze I'm going through in my quit and it will lessen as time goes on.
The weather has finally turned to autumn, a real honest to goodness autumn. The front came in through the night last night with storms and howling wind and left us highs in the 50's today with lows tonight in the low 40's expected - yes, perfect smoking weather - Hahhaaaahaha
Every time my husband leaves the house I fantasize about having a cigarette but then I realize that he'd be able to smell it the minute he came home and I leave the thought. In fact, I was thinking about it last night after I got into bed and within record time he was sound asleep snoring and I thought, I wonder if he'd notice if I went and had a cigarette.........No I didn't.
I'm amazed that for the first few weeks of my quit that I didn't really "think" about smoking and now it's in my thoughts constantly.

Oh yeah, my son called me this morning and our first grandchild is going to be a BOY!!! The baby is 17 weeks and 3 days along. Mother and baby are doing fantastic!

I am an addict and I understand that I will always be one cigarette away from my pack a day habit.
I vow (hopefully) not to smoke today.

Let that phone call be the one that gets you through until bedtime today - all that fun of a little boy that I know you will love dearly and spoil rotten with all that money not wasted on smoking. That's all you have to do is just until bedtime, one day at a time. The really hard stuff will get easier, and you will be so stronger coming through the other side. I know that probably sounds like crap right now, but it's true, and you know it will be well worth it when you think of the end result. Keep going!

Congrats on the new grandbaby boy on the way! I love babies, especially grandbabies! lol

Hang in there and keep strong. I know that it's hard sometimes because it sure is for me, but hopefully, we'll all get through it and be better off.

Congrats again!

Thank you so much for both of your Well Wishes. This is our first grandchild so you know how excited I have to be!!!!! Spoiled rotten doesn't even come close to what is going to happen with this baby :):):).
The best thing - I won't smell like a dirty ashtray!
You are right, what better reason to stay quit.
Thanks for being friends!!!!!
