    Default I have quit smoking!!! :)

    Today I succesfully went without smoking! It was hard but I did it. Tomorrow may be difficult too, but I am going to remind myself that I need to take it one day at a time. It will get better and I will feel better! Not to mention the money saved Need some extra encouragment, my husband and mother both smoke.That was the hardest part today.

    Kori - Congratulations for getting through your 1st smoke - free day!!! I quit 6 weeks ago tomorrow and I will say that what got me to this point was the e-cig. I get cartridges with no nicotine, and inhale and exhale mist. My husband thought he might want to stay at a hotel the first couple weeks - he was very surprised. He was sure that he would die at some point. Anyway, I am about ready to put away the e-cig at this point. My surgery is next Tuesday.

    I remember when I quit 10 years ago, I was like a mad woman. It gets better with each passing day and now I hate the smell of smoke! You'll get there and live longer because of it. Good luck to you.

    Congratulations Kori is beginning your journey of a cigarette free life. Success does not happen if you do not take the first step. Remember, there may be times when you wonder what you have gotten yourself in to but they will pass. Wishing you the best. Lynn aka Luvmissmm

    I quit 5.5 years ago and you are completely right. It's a minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day challenge.
    I didn't avoid other smokers because I know I'd be around them the rest of my life.

    You can do this! Find a reward for yourself at the end of the 1st week.
