Vicky’s Last Cigarette

Friday, January 18th, 2008

I got Vicky’s last cigarette in the mail on Tuesday this week when I got back from a trip to Miami to see my husband’s family. She sent me her last cigarette that she smoked plus two that she hadn’t smoked in the box (see pictures below). Vicky is on Day 14 now!!! WHOOHOO Vicky – I know you will do it – somehow I know she has got the right ingredients together to pull off a successful quit. I wish I knew what they are – you just know. Perhaps one of the key ingredients is that she has a punching bag in her basement and that will greatly help in dealing with the withdrawals.

Anyway I am really excited to have got these wonderful materials and I hope I will do Vicky justice. Thanks again, Vicky and I loved the presentation package!!

6 months & celebrating

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Today I’ve reached my 6 month milestone and I’m celebrating! I have saved $900 and more importantly have not inhaled 3600 cigarettes into my system.
For people new to quitting or contemplating quitting I want to tell you the things I thought that I would never get used to before I started my quit.
- that morning cigarette(s)
- the one after a meal
- the one with a drink
- the one to settle my nerves
- the one to control my anger
- the one before I did ANYTHING
- the one after I finished ANYTHING
- the one to make me feel good

Six months down the road I really don’t miss any of those things. I am SO happy to be FREE of that goddamned addiction.

NEVER use the works “I’m giving up” when talking about quitting smoking – you are “giving up” nothing – you have SO much more to gain by quitting.
