That's fantastic Mike

Just looked at my quit tracker and I'm on day 133. Still early days but I do feel like a non smoker now rather than someone trying to quit.

i once got all the way to 5 months but i would bum one 2 or 3 times a week. i didn't like bumming them so i bought a pack, big mistake lol. this time i made it. and if you made 133 days then you definately quit. you should be proud of yourself i know im proud of you i hope you don't have to face too many temptations...mike...

Thanks Mike
I've only got one friend who smokes and I've told her no matter how much I beg not to give me one. So far she's stuck to that (and I have begged!)

i did bum 1 cig last year but i still consider myself as quit because it was only 1. my wife was pissed at me and the person who gave me the cig lol. i do have a cig hidden for an emergency but it's been there for more than a year so i'm sure it's awfully stale by now lol....mike...

 

[Walker]

gross, I can't imagine how desperate I'd have to be to smoke a cigarette that had been hidden for a year Mike @1964dodge

 

[Walker]

Congrats Lucy. I know you had been trying for a really long time and giving it some really good shots at quitting. I'm really proud of you for all your hard work. @Sunspots *thumbup

that cig helps me a lot. 1. you're right it would be gross so that puts smoking it as an act of desperation, and 2. it comforts me knowing i have 1 so i don't worry about not having a cig, if that makes sense...mike...

 

[Walker]

That's great @UKDude Stopping drinking and smoking at the same time must be really tough but good on you, mate. That's quite an accomplishment. Keep up the hard work!

I personally don't get that line of thinking but how often do we hear that around here? (similar thinking) so it would seem I am the minority in this case. Must be something about it that really sets people up for success.

And yeah, you're totally right about it making smoking a desperate thing. That's like a death bed smoke there.

i'll tell you one thing if my doctor ever said i was terminal i would start smoking again lol..mike...

 

[Walker]

We're all terminal, mister Mike. It's just a matter of time. You're better off trying to stretch that time out as long as possible though so your wife and little frogs and tadpoles can see you as long as they can... so no smoking!! @1964dodge

 

[Sunspots]

There's absolutely no way I could have had a cigarette in the house and not smoked it. Even now I'm not sure I'd be able to resist it.
You must have willpower of iron Mike

 

[UKDude]

Years ago on one of my previous attempts to quit the stop smoking nurse at the local doctors told me she recommended keeping a packet handy at all times "so you don't feel stressed". I looked at her thinking are you nuts - it would last about 3 minutes.

She also had never been a smoker and tried to tell me that she understood because she liked cream cakes and had to resist those.
