day 42

Congratulations to me, 42 days 6 weeks without a cigarette, I have totally amazed myself, I never would have thought I could do this.

I still get the urge to smoke and sometimes reach for them without thinking, but I know I can never have one because I am sure I could not stop there. My friends that stopped smoking years ago tell me that they still get the urge to smoke sometimes but it goes as quickly as it comes. So I continue this journey still taking a day at a time but knowing that I have beaten the cravings and now ensuring I don't give into a memory/urge to smoke. I remind myself that this has been difficult and that if I have a cigarette it will not make anything better but I would give myself a hard time. So on I go, visiting this site daily, reading the posts and enjoying being apart of a community where we are all working towards the same goal
