Congrats! 13 weeks for me.

Congrats for quitting

Kuddos! Keep it up!
The best decision I have ever accomplished. It's been 15 years+. Don't look back and you won't regret it.

What you need is a Journey song...don't stop....belieeeeeeeeeving....ohhhh...no one needs that...hehe...funny, as I was reading the whole thing, I was thinking,"I hope you are entrenched in 'not smoking' before the next relationship stress...haha...always a killer for my friends..

Congratulations! Good luck staying away from those addictive little pricks.

When I quit cold turkey (Chewing Tobacco) there were several milestones. 2 Days (sweating bullets) , 2 Weeks (sweating BB's), Two Months (cravings in the morning, after meals, when drinking are finally under control) and 2 Years (When all Cravings were finally gone). Now 20 years nicotine free.

Congratulations!!! I have great respect for someone who can beat the cigarette habit. I have heard that it is incredibly hard to do. You should feel proud of yourself. (You are always welcome to message me with your progress. I would love to hear about your successes, or even any hard times.)

@germangirl90439 hahaha! Japanese and French! I drink Sake, gorge on Tartiflette & Bouillabaisse and REFUSE to comply to Anything, EVER! Even if its for my own good. ...ESPECIALLY if its for my own good! hahahaha!!

Honestly, though, in the early 1800's my Great-Great Grandmother was born to a German Father and a Japanese mother. From that little bit of German blood, we got a green eyed gene that Still pops up every 15 to 25 of us! That COULD Be why we are SOOO stubborn in the Sadoi family! lol

@tnorman1236 yup i began post-break up as well. I hear ya brother! And hey, when it is your time to quit, you will find the onus to do so. It doesnt matter how much others tell you its not good for you, until something clicks Within You, its pointless to even try.

Like i said, you will Know when you are finally ready and there.

@germangirl90439 Toooooootaaaally! hahahaha! There are Mules who would BLUSH in my stubborn presence!

Good for you! I wish I could do it again. I quit for several years when my kids were small, and then started just smoking when I was away somewhere. But then,after my divorce, I took it up again, and need to try to quit once more. One day.

@TheMiddleWay hahaha Oh yeess... and the Doctor & Friend in you certainly would bring to my attention the benefits! You should see all of us Nurses and Doctors out back smoking cigs on our breaks! hahaha! You would think... we wouldn't be smoking, right?? I'd say about 35%-40% of the medical professionals I work with are smokers.

We just look at one another on smoke breaks and no one can out anyone else be cause we are All there letting the Monkey's on our backs have a little meet and greet play session!

The other day, one of the Drs I work with was passing me in the hall as I was heading to the cafeteria and he was leaving and he yelled out, "Sadoi!! Heey! Haven't seen you on the patio in a few weeks... how have I managed to miss you?" I replied, "because I quit." He congratulated me and said, "I should quit too." I know THAT feeling!

Thank you sir!

You'll be okay, good job

Yay You!!!

Great job!!!
High five!!!

What I’m about to tell you is the truth.

It’s all mental. 8) If you want to stay off cigs, and undevelop this habit, you just do that. No more smoking. That’s the secret—willpower.

Your nicotine withdrawals were gone weeks ago, it’s the habit breaking process now.

I’m coming up on my tenth anniversary as a non smoker, in September. I did it cold turkey, after many other halfassed tries. After quitting, I had the hardest times in threes. Lol. Third week, third month, third year. I wonder if the third decade will be hard.

It took about two years for my lungs to improve.

I smoked cigarettes for roughly twenty three years. A pack a day (twenty).
I would get pneumonia every year, and had chronic bronchitis. My immune system was shit. I found out I had cervical cancer, and quit the day I had my hysterectomy. I credit my success in part to the fact I set a date in the future to quit, and prepared myself mentally for it.

I have smoked marijuana for about thirty three years. Two to four . 3g joints a day now, but for the first twenty years, it was much less. I use filters in my joints. I’m trying to get myself to use extracts instead, but smoking delivers the effect I need.

keep at it!

Awesome!

Congratulations! Stay strong, smoking kills!

Good going with the willpower.

Grats. I was recently over 3 months and broke with some recent bad news causing tons of stress. Could be worse though, better than heroin I suppose.

I'm very proud of you! It's a damn hard to quit smoking, but you can do it!

Good for you. Great job.

My money is on you!
