22 days!!!!

And I am pleased to say that one co-worker underwent the hypnosis on Saturday and another co-worker is giving it serious consideration.

Thanks, Wendo!

Yay, Native!!! Before you know it, you'll have been smoke-free for a whole month. Recruiting more co-misserators, eh? The more the merrier.

Made dh take me out to dinner for my 3 months anniversary. Cost him a pretty penny, too. Think I'll angle for a supper at 6 months, champagne and caviar at 1 year?

How is everyone doing these days?
I have now been officially off the patch for three days. It wasn't planned, but I'll take it. During the flu I was so miserable that I forgot to change it for a couple of days. Then I figured since it takes 3 days to clear the nicotine out of the system, I'd just stay off and get it over with. Keeping the leftovers though - just in case.LOL

You will be okay, Lumbele. Really. You will.

You are now a non-smoker. You no longer need nicotine.

Yay Lumbele!!!

Good for you Lumbele!! One day at a time.

I now have 36 days and am finding that I can actually go for a few hours without thinking about it. I came really close Friday after I left court. As I was driving home I reached for my purse to get a cigarette. I have little doubt that I would have lit up if one had been within reach. But I survived.

I am also proud to say that after a co-worker saw how well I was doing, she went for the hypnosis (she did find someone else who was quite a bit cheaper) and has been successful. A couple of other co-workers are giving it serious consideration.

Thanks, guys! So far so good. The flu kicked in again last night which is very helpful. When you are throning with a bucket on your lap, nicotine is not a priority.LOL
My confidence that this time it's going to stick is growing daily.

Native, sorry we missed your 1 month milestone. Congratulations!!!!
Considering the timing of your quitting, you must be an extraordinarily strong woman. Most of us would have probably caved in your situation, but, boy am I ever glad you haven't. Hat's off to you. Hang in there, if anyone can do it you can!!!!

I think a large part of my motivation to not cave is knowing it would give someone else great satisfaction if I did.

And I have to say I know there is no way I could have done this without the hypnosis because I've tried. While I was working out the other day, this man told me that hypnosis had not really done anything for me that I could not have done on my own. I asked him if if he had ever smoked and I bet no one can guess what his answer was.

As of today, I have been smoke-free for 2-months. I still miss the habit sometimes, especially at night, but it's getting easier.

YAY, Native, you are doing great!!!!!!
Hang in there!!! It's the loss of the *habit* rather than the lack of *nicotine* that's giving most of us a hard time.
I read somewhere that it takes 27 days to establish a habit. I wonder how long it will take to get rid of a 36-year long habit.

Hahahahaha!!! I have been sending you good thoughts all along, LL.

I figured when you didn't post that you had some trouble. As you well know, you just have to keep on keeping on until you beat it into submission and hope you win before the killer does. May you be the winner this go-round. You know I am rooting for you.

Yay Lumbele!!!
Yay DJgirl!!!
And yippee Native-Texan!!!

Interesting LLkoolaid, I also quit AGAIN, on the 1st, LOL. I can't believe I did that on April Fools Day. Had quit before and been okay, then some things happened but I haven't given up. I am sure this time it will stick, we can do it together.!!!!
