I have to admit that the cravings are less intense now, yes they still come but I am also fully aware that they will leave. I find that I don't even think about a cigarette when I get myself involved in something.
One of the things that are keeping me quit is the number of cigarettes I've smoked - more than a quarter of a million of those killing sticks. I'm actually ashamed I was so stupid for so long, that I let a stick control me instead of me controlling it.
I'm definitely learning something about myself.
I feel a little better physically everyday that I don't smoke, I definitely look better too.
I want to remember telling those of you posting comments - I really appreciate your support and encouragement, thank you.
My pledge and acknowledgment:
I am an addict, I will always be one cigarette away from a pack a day habit.
I will not smoke, not today.

I too feel a sense of shame. I have a blog about coping strategies after you quit. I would love to exchange blog links. I'll add you to my blogroll now. Would you add me to yours? You can find me at www.quitcoping.com .
Congrats on getting into double digits. We will both be in triple digits like our friend Maggie in no time. Have a wonderful weekend!
I'm so *thrilled* for you hanging out there in the double digits and feeling so good about it! I just love reading your blog. You inspire me to keep going.
Holy cow, a quarter of a million? I haven't done the math on how many I smoked, but I bet it was a huge, huge amount. Craziness. I do have my quitmeter thing that tells me how many I *haven't* smoked, and even that amazes me.
You are doing great - keep going!
Congrats on 10 days!!! I think all of us ex-smokers have some sense of shame, so welcome to the club! :-)
Hang in there and keep up the good work!
