Congratulations on being smoke-free for one whole month!!! Keep right on walking as much as you think you need to! That's one of the coping mechanisms that I used, along with deep breathing, to get me through my first month! That, along with a lot of help from my quit buddies here!!! Keep on kicking ash and rewarding yourself daily! You're doing great!!!

SR, way to go! 30 days/one month is fantastic! I remember that milestone as being so instrumental. I think anyone who has been a smoker who can go without smoking for one whole month is without a doubt well on the way to success.
Now watch those days quickly mount up behind you, remain on your guard though, and carry on your excellent work. I love the 'walking' away the craves! such a brill idea! So delighted for you.

Great accomplishment. I am pleased to tell you this battle can be won. It is do-able. And you got it right--just take one day, one minute or one hour at a time. Lots of deep breaths and lots of cold water. Hang in there--I promise it does get easier.
Just tell yourself NOPE & with each batle that you win--the nicodemon weakens a bit.
Hat's off to you on your 30 days!!!!
YAY--reward time,
Deb

You should be proud! Those days add up to weeks, months, and years-- and, uh, are they hard to get. Just keeping reminding yourself that you do not want to hand any days back and reward yourself for the ones you have. Good job!
