Just for today I do not smoke. I have taken back my life and now am in control of what I choose to do. As I get further along in my quit I'm amazed at how I could have gone 35 years with smoking all of those cigs. Remember, I was the one who always said I never even thought of quitting and was such an advocate of smoker's rights.
I will never take my quit for granted or think I'm immune to the cravings. I know a craving can hit you from nowhere and take you by surprise. Just a few weeks ago I was almost in tears I wanted a cig so bad. This addiction makes me angry. I hope I always stay angry with it so I never lose focus. When people come in to the salon, I can smell those who are smokers right away. To think that was me for the last 35 years.
I hope everyone here is fine and keeping their quits. Hang in there and let nothing make you light up again. We can and are doing this. Just for today, do not smoke.!!!!! This is my mantra and I use it everyday.
just 1 puff away from 2 packs a day

Vicki...
I must say it is great seeing your possitive, encouraging attitude returning to the board. You have been missed. You have a lot to offer new quitters for you have been there and know what it feels like to make it through one day at a time. You have an awesome quit and you have done it with style. It has been a pleasure sharing this journey with you. Stick around for a while.

Vicki,
Thanks for popping in and saying hello and bringing with you some very inspiring words. I agree with Lady that you have been missed. Glad to see you're still smoke free.
Crave the Quit!
