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.

...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!
