BlueCloud,
You have come so far in your quit. There may still be the occassional urge to smoke but you now know what the real freedom feels like. I can't imagine going back to slavery to the cigarette. It seems like it takes forever to get to this point but it is so worth it once we arrive.
Congratultions!!!!

I thought the day would never come when I would just not want to smoke.
I knew I needed to not smoke. I felt like I should be smart enough to know better than to smoke. I knew I wasn't breathing good because of smoke but something in the back of my mind told me I would like to smoke. It would make me feel better. On those days I would post and recieve advice and encouragement about how to just power through.
One day at a time I powered through. Little by little I started feeling better. I felt better but I still thought I was having to give up something.
I can truely say I don't think I am missing something any more. I am feeling free. Really free. This freedom was fought hard for. I was told it will be so worth it but I had my doubts. I no longer have those doubts.
It takes time and work and you have to want to quit but I am living proof that one day if you don't smoke long enough, you will just not want too. I smoked 47 years. I am so glad I found this site and the knowledge to quit.
