OT: smoke Free for 5 days!
(morning)
I am so happy and I feel SOOOOO much better...but the temptation is still there. 
You can do it. I am 8+ years from smoking my last cigarette. I stopped cold turkey and never looked back. Don't count the days . . . that just means you miss it and are keeping track. Forget about it and next thing you know, it will be a month, six months, a year. Good luck to you, and WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Tracy,
I quit smoking last Sunday too! I smoked my last cigarette at 2pm. I am very proud of myself.
The temptation is there for me because I don't necessarily feel so much better. As a matter of fact, I don't feel any different at all. I am holding on to the fact that I don't smell like an ashtray and my breath stays fresher longer because I have to convince myself that it is a good idea to stop.
My PS told me that he would not do any work on me until I was smoke free for 2 months. When I left his office I thought to myself, how in the heck would he know? I figured I could not smoke on the days I had appts with him and he wouldnt smell it on me. The more I thought of this plan, the more ridiculous it sounded. If he thought that I would heal so much better if I wasn't smoking, then why was I trying to get around it? So, when I ran out I vowed to quit. Here I am, late Friday night and clean as a whistle.
I know the reason I haven't done it up til now is because I didn't want to. I didn't quit before my GBS. But after all I have accomplished this last year, and because I have become such a different, more confident person, I figured I didn't need this other vice in my life.
Still hard. I have told everyone I know that I quit. I figured that would keep me honest. Now I just have to worry that the few smoking friends I still have will forgive me!!!
Congrats to you Tracy! I feel your pain AND your accomplishment!
