Thanks you guys! :)

Hey Goofy! Look at how many cigarettes you haven't smoked. That is awesome, way to go!

How about an amazing ride on the quit train to the Grand Canyon?!

Thanks for the kind words as always, Josie! I will see what I can do about a picture...

Eddie, what you said is so true! Let's celebrate!

Congratulations on your success Karren! The next six months will be so much easier, time will fly by. That is awesome that you and your husband joined a gym together! You may want to give the group exercise classes a try. I think they are a lot of fun!

I forgot to mention that my husband "tried" to quit without success. At first he was very careful about not smoking around me, but now not so much. He does not smoke in the house, but he does smoke in the basement. I don't like to be around it, and it does not make me want one! I hope he will quit soon.

I wonder how the rest of the Octobreathers are doing.

Take care and be healthy, happy and strong!

Jodi

Jodi, many congratulations to you- I am heading towards 6 months as my next milestone and I am delighted with that- your story is so inspirational and I love how you are now enjoying this really active healthy life- I know what you mean when you say 'Why didnt I do it sooner' because thats my sentiment too- I am still at battle with the weight gain and my hubby too but we have joined a gym and just need to focus a bit more on that side of things now- any way well done to you thats terrific!!

Congrats Jodi!!!

I am so glad that the Octobreathers are still going strong.

I can relate to what you said about not quitting sooner. If was difficult in the beginning but not nearly as difficult as I made it out to be in my head while I was still smoking.

Let's celebrate each and every smoke free day!!!!

Wow, one year already! I finally quit the nasty habit on Oct. 15, 2007. I was taking Chantix. During "hell week" I was on the computer searching for support when I came across this web site. I worked the program here and read the forums every day. What a huge help it was! Several of us October quitters formed a group and called ourselves "Octobreathers". I see that Goofy is still around offering support and encouragement. What an awesome guy he is!

I am a 42 year old wife and mother of three girls. I started smoking when I was a teenager. I hated how cigs were controlling my life. I was embarrassed to be a smoker. I did not want people to see me smoking. Whenever I was at a school activity, or anywhere, I would always be thinking about when and where I would be able to have a smoke. It was like a ball and chain. Now I can go on an all day field trip with my kids and never think about smoking at all! I am free!!

Quitting was certainly not easy, but it was very doable and very, very worth it. I wish I had done it a long time ago. I never thought I was strong enough to quit, so I never really tried. This web site and Chantix helped tremendously! Some of the things I would do when I was having major cravings is I would log on to SSC, read, eat (a lot), drink water, do deep breathing exercises, take a nap, go to bed early (I slept a lot), review my list of reasons to quit or call a friend. I rewarded myself on the 15th of every month with a fresh bouquet of seasonal flowers!

I didn't worry about weight at first. I knew that it was more important to have my quit under control. After about 3 months and a 15 pound gain, I started focusing on my weight. I joined a gym and started counting calories. After all, if I quit smoking I could do anything, right?! Within 4 months I lost 20 pounds. I am 5'7" and weigh 130 lbs. I work out 5 days a week either at the gym or at home and I love it! Kick boxing is my new passion and I enjoy weightlifting!

I am healthier and in the best shape of my life! Why didn't I do this sooner?! At least I did do it while my kids are still at home and before I developed lung disease or something horrible like that.

I hope that my quit story will help and inspire someone else. Please do not say that you will TRY to quit. Instead say that you WILL quit, and then just do it! Believe me, you will be much happier and healthier. You are worth it!

Thank you so much SSC, members and moderators for being here!!!

Jodi
