Ok, you need to stop with the negative and be happy that you're DOING SO WELL! :D

If you're finding it easy then consider me jealous! ;) This just means that you're ready and that this is the quit for you.

It's never a bad thing to be on your guard, but you're obviously a positive thinker to have got this far with ease.

Be happy and enjoy the feeling! :)

Well done! You're not setting yourself up for a fall so long as you never allow yourself to get over confident and complacent - NEVER think 'just one won't hurt'. That was my downfall after nearly a year and it's taken me several more years to get back on the wagon. For me, a lesson hard learnt but never forgotten.

OK so I already replied but I'm in the mood for rambling, so I'll just add another thought - there is a big difference between being comfortable in your quit and being complacent in your quit. It's a big difference, but easily confused (well it certainly confused me when I messed up my last 'big quit'). You sound very comfortable, and I'd say nothing wrong with that whatsoever :D

come up for air

after 30 years of smoking (last 5 years,30 roll ups a day)thought it wise to quit smoking and let my lungs have some fresh air.

What a great post.Being comfortable in your quit as opposed to being complacent . Looking back thats how it was for me without really being aware of it at the time. I know now that I was sick and tired of stopping and starting and testing the theory of 1 wont hurt. I was wrong about that and am grateful that the penny dropped and the message was finally received and understood.

I think it gets easy when you allow in the idea that your not giving up anything at all but giving yourself a whole bunch of priceless gifts that just keep coming.

The freedom is awesome.

I agree with all of the above comments.

As a failed serial quitter for many years it's taken me til now to discover that quitting doesn't have to be hard.

On my 7th day now and feeling fine, and that is despite the odd little thoughts that keep telling me that one more cigarette won't hurt!

I've just had one as a matter of fact (a thought, not a fag) and, tempting as it was for a few seconds, it was a much better feeling being able to just accept it for what it was and then IGNORE it!

At long last I discovered that my life doesn't have to revolve around smoking and that my world won't end if I don't smoke - in fact it is just the opposite and things are so much better.

The pesky 'cravings' - well, no pain no gain I suppose but at least I know I they won't break me, not this time.

Thanks to everyone on this forum, I'm fairly new so just finding my feet but your stories and support are so encouraging and make so much sense.

Best wishes
