Welcome gumdrop! I am new here also.. my quit wa 2/11 but actually quit at noon on 2/10. I kept telling myself that my body would be nicotine free. ( i belivev I read that the nicotine is out of your body after 4 days). I went out today and weeded .. I was not out of breath after a few weeds.
Someone else here said when you really want a cigarette .. and you get past it. give yourself a small reward. a couple bites of something....
Most everyone around me are non-smokers. They are all thrilled I am quitting .. But it is nice here because people understand the "urges

I know how hard this has been for you. I watched as you got yourself ready for your quit, and how you've adjusted to your new life without cigarettes. Pretty cool, huh?
The advice you're giving to the "newbies" is pretty amazing.
We are non-smokers!!
Now we are in control.
