6 weeks and counting!

I have not had a cigarette in 44 days! I feel like I get stronger each and every day that passes! Yes, there are hard times here and there but I promise this is the happiest I have ever been with myself. All of the struggles are totally worth the joy I feel knowing that I the worst is behind me and I don't have to quit again!! If I had any tip to give someone just starting their quit, it would be to work on how you think about cigarettes. That has been the most important part of my success this time. Changing the way I think about them!

I wish you all luck out there!

That's great news Griffy. I can relate to your point about not having to quit again.

Having stopped and started many times over the years I'm determined not to put myself through that again.

I'm not far behind you and I'm starting to feel like I'm a non smoker now.

Keep strong

Best wishes

You're truly an inspiration to all of us here especially to those who are having a hard time quitting this kind of habit. Yes, it's a process. And it's hard. Right now I'm starting quitting already but I chose to switch to ecig first. This is a good way for me to quit cigarette smoking for good. Anyway, Congratulations to you! It's a great achievement!
