Keep a positive attitude. Remember this is not an impossible task. After quitting this bad habit, you will feel proud and be happy. A feeling of achievement will fill you with confidence and you will be a happier person.

It gets easier every day. Then just like everything else you will have some days that are better than others, but by then, the addiction is over and it is just the old crutch you are looking for. I use a silkquit.com ticker in my taskbar. I like that it is always there keeping track of how long I have not smoked, how much money I have saved, and how much time I have added to my life. I find it motivational. You are doing sooooo good, keep it up!

Thanks guys!

I am on day 5 now, wow... Now tonight I have to go to a barbecue and drinks evening... the food and drink's not a problem, but both friends smoke... I don't think I'll crave though. Got a few packs of sugar free gum to chew on if I'm desperate!

WOW day 5 already...you are doing great!!!!

Now we are all a little different but I'll tell you that being around others who smoke + drinking = CRAVINGS!

Just remember....It won't be as good as your little head thinks it will be so if you get the slightest craving remind yourself of that....BUT with that said you are awesome and I'm sure you'll do just fine!!!!!

I am on DAY 9!!!

This is getting easier. I started exercising again this morning.... things are looking up!

Day 9? Thats awesome! You Rock!

That is awesome!!! I talked to my friend who is in kind of the same boat you are and she still isn't smoking either! I'm so proud of the both of you because like I told you before, and she would tell you: "If she can do it, you can do it"... I promise you that

Over a week! You're awesome!!!

Nice work! I quit smoking on Jan 1, 2007. Haven't even touched a cig since then... tried 3-4 times before then by weaning off, or with the patch... but in the end only WANTING to quit made me quit. It's still hard sometimes, but I just think about the things I can do now (run a 5k, for one...) that I couldn't do before. It's definitely made this whole dieting/losing weight/getting fit thing much easier and much more possible.

Cravings only last 2-5 minutes, so if you can divert your attention elsewhere for those short few seconds, you're golden. Wish you the best!

Thanks guys!

Now, I need to admit this: I'm still smoking green. More so now... Will be cutting down, then also just stopping in a few weeks.

Otherwise, day 10 is going fine!

My friend's still smoking green too, so no worries It's the tobacco and the nicotine that she is done with... One thing at a time, right. Cigarettes are hard enough by themselves. Quitting the green will come in time.

I still smoke green also. I don't find that it hinders me nearly as much as tobacco did. I could never even run a block without wheezing, but that has all changed. I've gone a few weeks without, and couldn't really tell a difference... so I say whatever.

Hehe, thanks.... I really don't feel so bad anymore.... and yeah, me and my guy are planning on stopping pretty soon... He wants to start jogging with me, which is SO awesome

I have completed 10 DAYS of no cigarettes!!!! Wooohoooo

You are doing awesome...keep it up! And about still smoking the green....one thing at a time! You are reallllly doing it...you must be soo proud of yourself!

haha ya quitting the green was a different story for me too. well, i never got around to quitting it either, but hey at least it probably doesnt have even half of the amount of chemicals cigarettes have. proud of ya girl! keep it up
