My main problems are 1) when I am doing Army stuff (I am a weekend warrior)because SO MANY people smoke. Nonsmokers are BY FAR the minority. And if you are standing around doing nothing you get yelled at but if you are standing around with a cigarette it's ok.. 2) If I am consuming some adult beverages (which is.. fairly often) and 3) because my husband smokes and has no real desire to quit at all.
I feel doomed. I have fallen off the bandwagon several times, but at least it's down to 1-3 a day again, if any. Sigh. I'm in the same boat as you Erica. I was down to 2 cigarrettes a day with help from an ap on my phone - but I couldn't get past that. My husband smokes & I smoke when I'm stressed (which is a lot lately). I just keep recommitting - one of these days it will stick.

Never give up, no matter how many times it feels like we fail. I have a similar issue with weight loss... have been fighting it my entire life! But, I refuse to give up. I have had success and set-backs. Just have to keep trying!

I have to go ahead and say it to Okie...
CONGRATS TO YOU FOR BEING A NON-SMOKER FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!!
We all knew you could do it, deep down you knew you could too. Great job!

Just checking in. Still a quitter. Close to 16 months now with not even one slip or drag or puff or e-cig.

And you can put all the money you're saving towards things like pizza and/or beer!! That has to be nice. ...or shooze! Way to go! Start putting the "habit" money aside every paycheck and watch it grow. I converted my habit money into a car payment.

I am in total awe of anyone that can stop an addiction like smoking or losing and keeping off significant weight through a lifestyle change.
What power of the will and mind it takes.

It gets easier with each passing day - or at least that was my experience.

It's a hard job, (but no harder than compliance) and somebody has to do it. Just think of the pay raise you gave yourself!
