Good to hear that it is getting a little easier at work for you. Hang in there, you'll be so glad you did.

I think if you made it a week cold turkey, you are over the worst part already. Good work, Dfennessey!!

on Wednesday I am off to Florida for a week for my fathers wedding and he did not want any presents so I get to tell him I quit smoking 11 days ago (he has been on my case for years to stop smoking)

Dfennessey, your Dad will be thrilled! Telling my mother I had quit smoking was the best present I could have given her. My father died of lung cancer and she was very worried that I would follow suit. Still may, but I have at least improved the odds a bit.

Yay Dfennessey!! You are by no means out of the woods yet, but you should definitely be over the worst of it by now. I bet your Dad was thrilled.

My doctor told me that 21 days is the magic number. After 21 days you are over the withdrawl part of it. Not to say you won't fight the "urges" for a while longer. I got fired a few weeks back (for having ambition!) and boy did I want to smoke after that. I didn't and am glad I didn't, but every now and again the thought pops into my head and then I go, "What ARE you thinking?!" Shake it off and go on.

No, you couldn't, Dfennessey! You'd have to start all over again; and with the worst of the withdrawal over with, do you really want to have to start again? You can do it! You really can! Hang in there! That craving will pass and return less and less often and will be more and more fleeting, easier and easier to shake off.

L is right... everytime you think about smoking just remember how much hard work you have already accomplished. And remind yourself that you DON'T want to start all over again!

Dfennessey, you've come so far, congrats! Heck, after two years I still have the thoughts, Ooh, just one ciggy. But it lasts a second and then I remember that I'm healthier since I've quit. I know it's tough, keep it up. Sending positive vibes to you and everyone else who continue to be smoke free.
