This will be one of the roughest journeys you will be on in a long time, but oh so worth it! I have not been here as long as some. I myself am at day 190. I have had my ups and my downs during this entire journey. I used to read all the blogs when I first began my quit. I felt like pure Hell for some times and everyone just kept telling me it would get better. I kept telling myself that it was easy for them to say since they were way up in their quit days. Yet I kept on without even one puff. At first I educated and just tried to stay busy whenever I did get a crave. I was so tired and kept thinking I would never make it. Well before I knew it, it really did get easier. I smoked for 44 years, lost both parents to cancer, and finally realized that I wanted my freedom and was not ready to go out like that. I know it could still happen, but at least I am not going to help by smoking. I had to finally realize that I wanted my freedom more than I wanted a cigarette.
The journey is hard at times, but keep coming here, educate yourself about this addiction, blog, whatever it takes, but please protect your quit! We CAN all do this!
