Way To Go. I am a returnee... I have found more positive thinking and a huge chage in attitude has helped me so much.
It took us more than a few days to learn to smoke and to become addicted. So it takes positive thinking and time to become "Ex smokers" or Non smokers. I find the more I can think of myself in situations, and I tell myself.. I don't do that anymore.. I no longer smoke.
Way to Go
Bonnie 87 days and sooo excited to hit 90.

I love hearing how positive you are about your quit. It sounds like you gave your self a nice reward for staying smoke free. Rewards are very important motivational tools. I am sure there are many more rewards in your future. Check out "Rewarding Yourself" in Milestone 5 to set up a reward schedule to help keep you stay motivated and positive!

On day 11 of my quit after a relaspe of a 85 day quit. It's doing very well and I'm so excited. As many of you already know, I'm quitting cold turkey. I set my quit meter back (I regret that I did, but felt like I should) but in my mind, I'm considering myself quit since April.
I'm enjoying tremendously not smelling like smoke and going outside in the heat to smoke. I'm saving money and time. Doing puzzles and crafts with extra time.
Even treated myself to dinner at a favorite cafe this weekend.
Feeling much better and more positive than before and looking forward to going further on this journey.
