Today is my 5th day without a cigarette

[omeg]

Today is my 5th day without a cigarette.I smoked 2 packs a day for 15 yrs, but today is my 5th day without them.I feel anxious and kind of sad. Feel like I lost a friend. ( a friend that was slowly killing me)I am not doing the e-cig, the patch, Chantix, or anything else...Simply put them down. I guess they call it cold Turkey.I am 45. Was out of breath alot, and I dont like that.Saw two people die of lung cancer in the last two years and I know that is not the way I want to go.Not looking for congrats or pats on the back. Save that for later when I have more time under my belt without cigs.Right now I ask for prayers and good thoughts, to keep me strong, and help me thru the ruff patches.Today is the 5th day without a cigarette.  I feel .....GOOD!!!

 Well, in that case.... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!?!?OK, don't really mean that - very proud of you! I have never had the nicotine habit / addiction, but looking at it from the outside, kicking nicotine might be one of the toughest drugs out there to kick permanently. P.S. If you really are serious about quitting, you might want to stay away from virtual smoking, as in

PSP:I don know what took me so long. I really enjoyed smoking you know?Everything I did revolved around smoking. It was always there for me. Such a tuff addicition to break, but I am doing it.Thanks for the kind words PSP, it means alot.                                                                      PamDay 6, and going strong.

Yeah great job I haven't smoked for 1 year 7 months. Keep it up it's well worth it more to gamble with

I am not one to preach as I haven't decided as of yet to say enough with the smoking. I will however, say keep strong and keep the faith.

For the record, I won't be disappointed if it doesn't stick.I applaud the effort - regardless of the result!
