Today marks my 4 week no smoking anniversary.   Think I'll celebrate with a cigarette.  Just kidding!  It's been amazing.  I realized at about 1:30p.m. that it was my 4 week date and that I hadn't thought about smoking at all today.  Simply amazing.  I think I'm in the clear now.  I won't smoke before surgery, I don't want to risk not being able to have it and if I can go the four months till surgery I'm gonna have a lot bigger things to think about after.

Congratulations!  I quit about 3 years ago and haven't looked back.   Did you use anything to help you? I heard there is a new medication out there. My sister is talking about quitting, I hope she does.  You've gone a month already you can keep it up, way to go!

Hey Kristy,

  I did use Chantix and it seriously saved me.  The first week I took it I could still smoke but they started tasting kinda weird.  But it took away the anxiousness of it all.  It was pretty amazing.  The only side effect that I had was drowsiness.   I have quit the medication now and don't feel too bad without it.  I would recommend it to anyone.

You are absolutely amazing! I just want to say that because what you have accomplished (3 weeks without smoking) is certainly NOT an easy feat. You are so inspiring to me... I don't smoke, but just hearing that you've been so strong inspires me!
