Boy I am at that stage once again too especially after this past week. There does come a time when you don't think about cigarettes or it might be once every 6 months. I am on my second successful quit, there have been attempts the last two years, but it was that IF I COULD JUST HAVE ONE- that led up to having to set another quit date. My first successful quit was 8 years ago this august 1st. I did it for 6 years and after a while it does not cross your mind but once in a great while, but you feel so good you're like no way. Why I started again was stupid and self-destructive. My boyfriend was using drugs occasionally so I thought it was a way for me to cope, to destress, but all I did was add to it because then I had all this guilt and shame on top of everything else. I am now almost 3 weeks "clean" and feel good and every day this weekend have wanted to smoke, but I tell myself the thought will pass and it does. I know the agony I will cause myself if I have one. Because one thing leads to another and I will be right back where I was 4 weeks ago. Feeling like crap, not breathing good, ashamed of myself for myself and my family, especially my 7 yr old twins, who I don't want to pick up my habits. So yes there is a time when you don't think about it as much, but it will always be a part of who you were. Keep strong.

I'm not an old timer so I can't give you wisdom. But it took a long time to create the habit, and I feel it will take a long time to rewire your brain. You have an amazing amount of time, and I bet the good days are much greater than your bad days. Hang in there! You have an amazing quit, tomorrow will be a better day.

I will be very interested to see how different it is going to be for me and my daughter. I smoked for 35 years, 2 to 3 packs a day. She smoked for two years, from 14 to 16 just a half pack to a pack a day. I'm pretty sure I will always have the addiction "just under the surface of my quit" (who ever said that in this thread: that's a great saying) I could not have an open cigarette pack in front of me right now for sure. But maybe it's not too late for my daughter! At least I hope that she is not perminatly "damaged" in that way. I only have one kid that has never smoked. He says he never even considers it. I know I will probly never have that experiance of that kind of freedom, but I am going to always remember: N.O.P.E.

[quote]So in answer to your question, I will say yes you will get to a point where you are free, free and free from this monkey on your back.

Phreaknbz, Don't let these thoughts discourage you. I don't think there's one answer to this question as everyone' quit is different. Just give it time and keep practicing your new behaviors. Danielle _______________________________ The SSC Support Team

Oh boy could I relate. I guess I am not alone but it scares me because I really dont want to go back to smoking. I went through alot to get here and the weight gain alone is enough to say I dont want to have done this all for nothing. But I wish I knew when this desire does go away. Or will this be a fight forever. Well good luck to you and hopefully we will all conquer this demon. It will be worth it.

[quote] Thanks everybody. Sometimes it helps to here what it will be like in another 5 to 6 months. I know that I wont smoke again, I guess that's why it seems so strange with the thought pops into my mind. I feel that I'm old enough that I've run out of time to quit, and then smoke, and then quit... Gees, I'm getting to old for that crap ;-). I turned 43 on the 6th of July. [/quote] Add a few years a few months and you could be me so weird how the smoking thoughts are still there. I like to get real busy cause when I am really busy I can cover them over really good.

It amazes me that I sometimes feel like if I had a cigarette, I'd smoke it... in a heart beat!! Then I get my sanity back and think... no, no, no... Remember what it was like to quit... arg... Remember, not one puff every, if you smoke one... etc. etc. I just can't believe that I still think this way. I'm going to ask the old timers another one of those questions... Is there a time where it doesn't seem like you could slip in a split second? When "I need a cigarette!" does not cross your mind? When will I think, "I need to go do yoga" or "I need a drink!" or ANYTHING but "I need a cigarette". Hey, check it out... I'm heading for a full 5 months here :-). Unfortunately my little brain is still thinkin� "I want a ...;-)" [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 149 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,475 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1043 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 15

i'm not an old timer but yes, i could slip in a second. I still enjoy the odd 'wiff' of a passing cigarette but i know for a fact that i wouldn't enjoy a cigarette & that i would have to re-learn to enjoy it. One thing i've learnt...the information & knowledge i've gathered from reading & searching my addiction, i would have to be insane to start smoking again. but saying this, we are still only human.
