Phil, so very glad you are at that point in your quit. Doesn't it feel absolutely wonderful! and so free of the addiction?! Just keep your guard up anyways. ]Hugs my dear friend Kim [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 205 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,133 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $830.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 22 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13

Phil, I think you are 'there' Other symptoms of being 'there': You have not had an argument for at least half an hour. Your wife/husband/partner tells you ' I've got my old Phil/Mr Ed back' Your posts on the SSC no longer say: 'I do not feel good, BUT I WILL NOT SMOKE'. Because you do feel good. The act of smoking starts to look strange, like some habit of a bygone era. You look forward to the implementation of the smoking ban (July 2007 in England) You used to look at the light at the end of the tunnel. Now there is just light. And no tunnel. Stay on course And you'll feel no remorse This is a journey A horse can endorse :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 317 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 9,525 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �2377.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 52 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Phil Congratulations on your smoke free christmas - I know it's your first in many years. Sounds like you've broken through the craving barrier and that is fantastic. Enjoy the ease of being smoke free.

Well done Phil me old mate ! It had to happen on boxing day because at last the stress and pressure of christmas had passed. I bet you spent the day relaxing and that probably helped a great deal. Doesn't it feel great though ??? You have reclaimed you life !! keep it up Kiwikeith [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/29/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 89 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,240 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1032.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

you're finally there! but just remember....cravings come at the damnedest times....and usually out of nowhere? almost 5 years I haven't smoked...and the stress lately of taking care of my mother has made thoughts of it turn up. Not cravings or longings...not that I would consider or even want to smoke....but the thinking surfaces non the less. it's an addiction....and the use of it to solve problems will never quite leave us....or at least that seems to be the case for many. Don't ever let that thinking that just having ONE smoke would be ok??? cause I pretty well guarantee that "that" thought will surface at some point too. but back to the present....congratulations.....be sure to reward yourself in some way....and keep a firm grasp on the prize that you now hold.
