Repost:  I never thought I'd get past day 1

Take a few moments and look at the positives of your quit.  I know I was very negative and I think that increased the difficulties I experienced quitting.  When we quit and the smoke screen clears - we see our addiction and all the lies smoking told us.  We see that all that we gave smoking credit for came from us - we did it ourselves and gave the sickerette credit for it.  Cannot speak for you but I hate at work when someone takes credit for things I do and yet for years I found it acceptable to allow the white tube to take credit for what I did.
I will never smoke again and I can say that and be happy.
Quitting is not always easy but it is doable.

I never thought I'd get past day 1...

 yet, here I am! Day 19. I was one of those people who figured I'd never be able to "give up" smoking. Let's be honest though... Are you really giving anything up? I certainly don't miss the nagging urge to run outside every 30 minutes to an hour, all day long. It's such a hassle.

I also don't miss feeling winded all day, nothing tasting/smelling right, absolutely no energy, spending a ton of money every month, yellow fingers... I could go on all day. I feel like I have so much more freedom. I'm actually happier now than I was as a smoker... It's still early in my quit so the charm might wear off. Who knows... Right now, I'm excited about my smoke free days :)

This is my quit. It's not much yet, but it's beautiful and I'm proud of it. I will protect it because it matters. I will not make excuses to smoke, no matter what. I won't have "just one" or a few puffs. Smoking doesn't help anything. It never has and it never will, and I'm not falling for the lies again. I love being a non-smoker!

Look at these numbers ;) ====> 18 days, 21 hours, 28 minutes and 44 seconds smoke free. 472  cigarettes not smoked.  $118.75  and 3 days, 14 hours of my life saved!

I love the message here - more wise words from Dave.
Reminds us of why we pay it forward. I do it of course to help others, but I also selfishly do it to help myself - helps keep me mindful of the importance of my quit and reminds me I can never have just one (I am not blowing a long term quit again buying that lie).

I heard a story about a Mother who went out jogging with her 10 year old daughter. While they were running, they came upon a hill that was pretty steep and long. As they were going up the hill the Mother kept saying, "C'mon Judy You Can Do It; C'mon Judy You Can Do It." A few days later, another woman ran into the Mother at a store and commented, "I saw you jogging with your daughter Judy the other day. I thought it was wonderful the way you were encouraging little Judy and helping her make it up that hill." The Mother looked at the woman rather sheepishly and said, "Thank you but I'm Judy."

A lot of times, here on the Q, someone who is having a rough time of it will post, "Help - I'm going crazy for a cigarette." In about 15 minutes there are about 20 responses to the post that say in effect, "C'mon Judy You Can Do It; C'mon Judy You Can Do It." Those responding are not only posting encouraging words for for the person asking for help, but they are posting memos for themselves as well. Sometimes the replies we post are the replies we need to hear ourselves.

Remember - Every time you reach out a hand to help someone else, you automatically receive a hand in return. Isn't it terrific how that works? So make sure you keep shouting those words of encouragement and helping others. "C'mon Judy You Can Do It; C'mon Judy You Can Do It." You'll be helping yourself up that hill as well and I'll.....

See You At The Top
