51 weeks, 4 days

[Mizmoon]

I'm sorry to do this again but I am only three days away from being quit smokng for a whole year. Sounds great, right? I have never wanted to smoke more than I do today. It has been on my mind a great deal for the last week. Arggh! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

1. I can relate....

It's been 1yr, 4 months, and 2 weeks for me. Last week I thought I'd cave - the cravings were bad.

Maybe it's just this time of year?

:hug:

2. welcome to DU

:hi: It's good to have a fellow "joneser" here with me.

Maybe it's the holidays coming up? I know (this is going to sound vapid) but there are a lot of new cigarette flavors and packages - I think I'm being dazzled a bit by clever marketing.

6. MrG has bought all the camel flavors and says they suck. I know

they smell awful...if that helps! :hug: Good On You!

15. I used to love some of the camel flavours

Although Champagne was a little odd. :)

8. I think when I first quit

we talked about it here. You weren't quite ready to quit yet but were thinking about it. I'm glad to see you came along ... now if I can only stay with the program.

12. That must be about right

You quit right after the election last year huh?

Wow very good for you.

13. The day before my 35th birthday

I read that if you quit by the time you're 35 you're very unlikely to have long term health problems. So I waited until the last possible moment and quit the night before at like 11:39 PM :evilgrin:

7. Don't be sorry. If venting about it here helps you stay away from

smokes then vent away.

In fact, I like seeing non-smokers post here.

I'm a smoker for now, but I've just about had it with it and hearing from you folks who have quit is really helpful.

Here's a picture of a goofy animal to take your mind off of it for a second:

9. LOL! Thanks!

That is one wacky creature!

10. Is that a tarsier?

I love those things.

[jane_pippin]

11. I think so. I've never seen one before.

I was looking for a picture of a macaque in diapers and this guy came up instead.

16. I'm thoroughly impressed! Hang in there.

I had my first "smoking" dream last night, in which I smoked not one, but TWO cigarettes, and ever since I woke up, I've been wanting one SO badly!

17. Way to go Mizmoon!

Hang in there. You can do it.

Woof
