IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read THIS THREAD about a rebrand for SF.
We're quitters!

- Start date
Most days have been easy for me. Some days I did have massive cravings though and managed to make it through. I know if I gave in the next craving would be worse and then I would eventually be back to smoking daily, which would suck. Cravings always pass and they can't force me to smoke, they are only uncomfortable. I have quit times in the past so i disagree with anyone in here who says slipping and having one isn't a big deal. If you were a daily smoker and have one eventually you will be a daily smoker again. That's how this works.
Congrats on 23 days! Lung and circulation should have started healing by this point
the worst of it is over! Just think we never have one again you never have to go through this process again. Go us

it should be getting easier by now I hope it gets easier soon . remember all the suffering you've done so far if you light up again it was all wasted and you have to go through that again. you are making it stay strong and if you have to use a product to help. vape, gum, patch etc. please keep it up mike 
@ravens @1964dodge @Walker ...thanks for your encouragement...I know that the cravings are because I am under deadline to complete two assignments and am struggling...so "naturally" wanting to go to my previous "go to relaxation" of having a cigarette to supposidly de-stress myself....know this isn't rational ... and you are all so right that it's not worth throwing away the now 24 days of being smoke free---no matter how badly I want one...so just powering through...but admit so very very hard...but wont cave...am too determined....
That's amazing that you are keeping your quit while under a really stressful time. If you can get through this you pretty much proved you can get through anything without smoking. Keep up the good work
...somehow didn't manage to do a multi-quote for your 25...Thank you three...barely hanging on but knowing you three are out there as my "cheerleaders" is giving me the determination to keep going despite how hard I am finding this. I am realizing that I just have to focus on the positives and think of myself as an ex-smoker and not that I am depriving myself...but oh so hard this is....sigh....
And @Walker....thank you as well ...somehow didn't manage to do a multi-quote for your 25...

since you are doing so well do something nice on your 30 day anniversary special meal, movie etc.
I so nearly had one yesterday in coffee break at group therapy. I bummed one off of someone and had it in my hand ready to light when my CPN came outside and gave me 'the look'. So I gave it back and had a biscuit instead.
Looking forward to Friday and it being a whole month

I didn't know you had me signed up for this club, so no, I've not been cutting back, though my son is a constant nag. He doesn't get that stressing me out about it makes me want to smoke more. He says thats junkie logic. I promise I will think about quitting but I'm not in the right mindset to try without nicotine replacement.
