Wow...it was close! Saturday night I actually had cravings so bad that I got into the car to drive to the gas station...I thought about buying a pack of American Spirit cigarettes..took a deep breath then drove back home without them..I did this 2 times last night! I am happy to say that today is day 7 and I am still smoke free...

FANTASTIC smoke!

Be proud of yourself, you handled that beautifully. There are gonna be days like that. I was talking to my mom yesterday who has been smoke free for 3 years now. We were talking about my not smoking, she gives me lots of encouragement. She was telling me she was eating something she made that she hadn't made in years and after she was done she wanted a cigarette. Said the thought was just passing but it was there. Amazing how long the brain associates things isn't it?!

Keep going, you are doing very well
