Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm celebrating a teeny anniversary today - one month and smoke-free! For the most part it's been fairly easy. However, last week brought some significant challenges with it. I've noticed that the cravings are strongest during stressful episodes. I've still managed to get through without not even ONE cigarette. I don't think I'm " there " yet - my approach is still one day at a time. I believe my lungs and kidneys are smiling and saying THANK YOU! Hugs, Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Rita: I quit on Feb 25, 1998. I had tried many times to quit unsucesfully. The final time was truly done one day at a time and with faith in God that he would help me through each day. I am here to tell you that my faith brought me through it just fine. The truth be known I loved to smoke so much it was winning out and finally when I put it in the Lord's hands he won. I am following you and pray for you from time to time. I hope you feel those prayers and good thoughts. I know you can do it! Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Rita, Hang in there and keep on this path it does help. I quit smoking on Jan 8, 1978. I don't think I would have had my 70th birthday if I had keep on smoking. Ray Ritanuch@... wrote: I'm celebrating a teeny anniversary today - one month and smoke-free!
