I, memie of Canada, pledge my commitment to quit using tobacco forever. I have set 1/25/2010 as my quit date.

My main reasons for quitting and the things I will personally do to be successful are:

I want to quit for my health & to smell better. I did quit in year 2000 for 4 years but I started again. I've been to embarrassed to tell family & friends so I've been a closet smoker for 6 years now, I only smoke in the garage but I'm scarred that my Kids our grand-kids will find out one of these days. Only my husband knows that I smoke and I hope that someday soon he will also quit.


My Mileage:

My Quit Date: 1/25/2010
Smoke-Free Days: 227
Cigarettes Not Smoked: 2,270
Amount Saved: $908.00
Life Gained:
Days: 27 Hrs: 17 Mins: 13 Seconds: 19

120 Days

Wow 120 days look at me go... actualy it's going by real fast. I still think about smoking often but the craving does pass. The worst cravings I get are when I first get home after work. I use to get a glass of water and go straight to the garage for a smoke I was never able to smoke without something to drink. Maybe I should quit working that would take care of those cravings... lol ....I think it's true what they say about having to go through all 4 seasons to be actualy smoke free  cause now that  the nice wheather is here I get different cravings.  I went biking with my husband on the weekend and we take a lot of breaks for my husband to smoke I though it would bother me more not to smoke on those breaks  but it didn't bother me at all.  I hope all our bike trips are like  that. My husband was suppose to quit after our disney world trip in April but he didn't quit yet.  He changed is quit to June after he comes back from a trip with our son to the race formula  can't remember the name of the race. Anyway it's his decision and he has to be ready to be able to succeed.  Well I'm really happy that I quit but I must not put my guards down because I did blow a 4 years quit before, how stupid that was......sometimes my husband leaves his pack of cigarettes on the counter and I tell him to put them away...out of site out of mind....  In all my guits I have learned that I can not even have a puff cause one puff leads to another puff and next thing you know your a full time smoker... so just say nope never again not even a puff... 

Day 75

Well it's been 75 days without smoking and I have to say it's still a struggle. Some days I don't even think about smoking and then I have other days were it's like I only quit a week ago.  It has been hard, I remember one day having really strong cravings and I was exercising on the elleptical and I just started crying I felt so sad..... but thank god it's not like that every day....I don't ever want to start smoking again because it's to hard to quit....
Tomorrow I'm going on a trip to Disney World with my husband and two grand-kids.  My wish is for my husband to quit smoking when we return from our trip. I do worry about his health....

30 days

Well it's been 30 days smoke free and I'm quite happy with myself. I smell good , I breath better and I don't need to go outside in the cold to smoke.  My worst days were day 20 and 21 but I think it's because I wasn't doing my regular excersice on my elleptical which helps releive a lot of anxiety. I received a lot of good advice from the ex-smokers, the ice cold water really helps and I  sometimes add a lemon wedge as a change. This morning I woke-up to a bit of a headache and now I have the sniffles I think I'm coming down with a cold but that's ok...... because I don't like to smoke when I'm sick.................P.S. cold turkey is the best way for me!!!!!
