Hi All, 

Today marks month number 4 for me! I am feeling good and the cravings are minimal. Thank you all for the support that you have given me over the last couple of months. Making it through NML has given confidence to continue this journey.

I went to beach Monday and Tuesday and as I walked on the boardwalk with my husband i just turned and said, "see, i just relaxed for 2 days and it didn't require smoking". Previous trips to the beach included cigarettes, a book and snacks to add to my relaxation and I can honestly say that I didn't miss it once while we were there. I even did it without the snacks too; just me, the book and my water. It was great!

My sister is set another quit date for September 1st. I did tell her about the site but I don't know that she will use it. She tried quitting in April with the patch but this time will try first with Chantix. I am scared for her because her boyfriend also smokes and without his support it may be too much. My mother also smokes and we all live together so she will be around it. Her boyfriend is supposed to try the patch but we will see. She wants to join the Y but feels it is too expensive ($50month); i just told her that she can use the money saved from not smoking to fund the gym. I don't know how much of my advice is wanted but I do give it anyway. I try to use what I learned here to help people which in turn helps me to stay quit. I know I have a long road away but I will do my best to succeed.
