Hi Kristine!

You can't imagine how helpful your posts are! I like your thoughts very much. When I read it I feel like I'm writing it by myself (only 6th nicotine free day is ending...). Thank you!

Sorry it took me so long to respond! I was out of town for work all week and didn't get the chance to check in. Thanks for all the encouragement!

Thanksgiving was great. I really noticed a difference from not smoking. I wasn't jumping around all the time and as a result I was able to really focus on the cooking, the meal and my friends. After dinner I let the husband clear while I curled up in a big chair with a glass of wine and we all hung out for a few hours. I was so calm. It was really nice.

My deviled eggs came out great, but the stuffed jalapenos were about ten times spicier than intended! I like spicy food, so I was eating them, but I worried no one else would. But one by one they all disappeared, so I guess everyone got used to the heat. Lesson learned: you can't just scrape out the seeds of the pepper, you have to scrape out the ribs as well.

How was everyone else's holiday?

The biggest change of all is that when I am around smokers now, I don't feel sorry for myself anymore. I feel sorry for them. - See more at: http://sg.stopsmokingcenter.net/supportV7/viewmessages.aspx?forum=6&topic=51424&ForumName=Stats%20Parade&TopicTitle=Three%20months#sthash.Xv4xmIMW.dpuf

Congratulations on three months quit. You headed into a holiday for the first time a non-smoker, able to taste that amazing spread of food. I hope you cherished every second of that meal. They just get better and better!

You have the right attitude and you're well on track. Please keep that statement in mind if you ever falter: "The biggest change of all is that when I am around smokers now, I don't feel sorry for myself anymore. I feel sorry for them." That is HUGE. Hold that close, it will keep you quit.

Here's to a healthier you in the coming year and well beyond.

Congratulations LK! Three months is really great!

I remember my 3 month milestone so well. It was the longest time I had ever managed to remain quit, and it was a bit of a turning point in my quit. I hope you find the same.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love Lolly.
