Stay at it my man! You'll be better off for it. As with all goals; keep the long term in mind but work one day at a time.

Thanks, One week today.

I had a good sign yesterday. I was walking though the Magic Kingdom in Disney with my daughter and behind the castle is a smoking area that I normally ducked into a few times a day.

Walking by it the smell of all the cigarrettes made me gag a little.

It's far from over and the nicotine gum has gotten me through some tough moments, but I keep convincing myself I am an ex cigarrete smoker.

Hope the others with the same resolution are doing as well.

you can stretch that week into years if you keep on the mental game as you have. proud of you bro, i went through the same stuff and now i'm almost completely disgusted by cigs. just kinda grosses me out and makes me almost gag.

Just passed the 2 week mark and have had some strong cravings after stressfull moments at work, but have resisted and never really faltered.

Next week I go on vacation, and that has always been the time I have "just one", as my schedule totally changes. In other words, vacations are always when my quit smoking campaigns fail.

We always have a balcony villa and there's many times when time doesn't permit a cigar, but a quick cigarrette before dinner looking out at the sea seems like the thing to do and I always promise that I will quit again when I get home. Not this time though....

I told my wife to help by not even bringing them this trip.

I'm treating myself by filling up my herfador with some really nice cigars for my week on the beach.

Thanks for checking up on me.
