Hi, I have stopped smoking... Have not had a cigarette in 6 months and I know if I just have one I will be hooked again.

I am a non-smoking lady now.  Whew...

It took about 2 months before it got easier..

I can smell people that do smoke; never realized it was so strong.

The guy with the thing that had to be what folk's wanted; is now Allison and she does not smoke.

I wonder if smoking was a self medication method type thing. My doctor and therapist have me on Efexxor LA and Klonopin. For depression and Anxiety. I think maybe the nicotine and chemicals in the cigarettes formed a chemical soup in my brain. I would not doubt it.

When I have a anx attack I take my Klonopin... Who needs cigarettes.. not Allison.

Cheers...

Allison

Healthier, Wealthier and you are obviously wise..

I quit in '94 after 25 years of smoking.  I started when I was 15.  I knew I had it licked when the smoke stopped smelling good to me!  Now, I can't stand it!

Congrats, Allison and, yes, I also felt that just one would start the addiction over again.  Now I smoke an occasional cigar but never a ciggie.

Good for you!

Thank you all for the encouragement, sometimes a gal just needs it and I appreciate it. 

At the office today, a customer came in and I could smell him 12 feet away. A smoker..

I used to smell like that ... 

This forum is a neat place to kind of hang out..

Hugs and Best Wishes,

Allison   

That's great news Allison.

I stopped on Feb 14th, 1992.  There are still times when someone will light a cigarette and I think to myself Mmmmmmmm that smells good, even after all this time   So watch out for the traps.

Congrats, congrats on your success.

Good for you Allison.
I'm not and have never been a smoker.
My wife is and when she come in the house after lighting up I can hardly stand to be around her because she smells like a dirty old ash tray. Yuck.  I sure don't want to kiss her then.
