Dates to remember 3days,3weeks3months and 3 years.When I quit this is what a fellow told me are the dates to watch.Sure enough right around these time frames was when the cravings appeared again.

Dec 2009 | Thank You everyone!! And Roger you're right about the 3's, well Day 3 anyhow, I found it extremely harder that day and was extremely 'cranky'.
I like the idea of writing down what I would like to do with my 'non smoking' money- Thanks Sharon

Apr 2009 | I quit nearly ten years ago after smoking for 33. Pistachios were my friend for a few weeks. That and a lot of will-power.
You can do it!!!

Nov 2008 | Awsome job. I just want to add that it is ok to be human and screw up too. Not that I am telling you to go have a smoke or anything. It's just when I was quiting this summer I had one really bad day and gave in. I started feeling really bad for myself, like I had failed and was never going to be able to do it right. But then I got it together and realized that I, like everyone else am human and it is ok to make mistakes. Just keep at it and you will succeed

Dec 2009 | I am now on day 10 !! It's getting easier.
I tried the gum last year and hated it...I will continue with the patch for now till I feel I have the strength in me to do without it.
I love how you keep track of the 'hours' JA Scott, sometimes I feel like I need to go minute by minute as well.
Congratulations to all that have succeeded !! I am walking beside you all!! :-)
