New but strong

[Barndog]

4 months smoke free on April 12, 2019. I smoked for 43 years. I think about it every day but know that If I smoked now, I would be so disappointed in myself. I will stay strong!!!

Stay strong Barndog, 4 months is really good. Like me a lot of years with the fags and it seems to be an ongoing commitment that we have to battle to stay off them. I haven't gained the new unbridled health we are told we will get!!!! But I am sure it will come eventually!! I just got up off my knees from weeding and sat on a log and thought I would have probably sat there and smoked 3 or cigarettes over time! I reckon since I stopped I would have not smoked probably over 7500 cigarettes. Hard to get my head around that I would have jammed that many in me!!!!! So it must make a huge difference hey. Stay strong and let the dog out of the barn sometimes!!!!

Hi ! Im nearing my 66th day and like you I will stay strong. For myself, my 2 children and all the others that are behind me in this process. One day at a time it is happening

It's a horrible habit and costs a lot. You will stay strong. And I bet there will come a day where you don't think about it every day.

Welcome Barndog , congratulations on over 3 months smoke free, well done!

They say it takes to the 6 to 12 months mark to be comfortable in your new found smoke free lifestyle, keep that guard up and ready to attack at times
