    I had my last cigarette this past Friday night (9 Sep 16). I had quit a couple weeks previously, but fell off the wagon after a weekend with my chainsmoker friend. I just turned right back around and stopped again. I am also LCHF/Keto... If I have a craving, I just kinda straighten up and make myself feel superior and say "I don't do that anymore". That sentence in particular helps - it's so final. It's not that I "gave something up"... I just don't do it. And I chose this path. I chose to be healthier, live longer, breathe more easily, look better, age slower SMELL BETTER haha. I was never much of a snacker, and the fact that I'm also focusing on this way of eating, and strengthening my body at the same time just helps me see the big picture - I didn't *just* quit smoking, I am building a healthier me ALL OVER - I am NEW AND IMPROVED Every. Single. Day.

    Feel free to add me, and message me if you ever need a reminder that YOU DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE!!

    And my very best wishes to you!! You got this!!! :blush:

    Congrats to you! I like the "that was the former me" way of framing the matter.

    PS That is a HUGE mug of coffee ya got there.....

    @SuperCarLori I keep jumping over this thread because I don't smoke and never have so thought I had nothing to give to you. However....I decided I do have something to offer...support! You are very strong, that's clear and you can do this. Even though I can't relate 100% I do support your efforts 100% and know you will kick this too, in the *kitten*!

    So glad you didn't light up with Bob. Stay strong and remember Supers Rule! It's only hard in your mind, in reality, it's not so bad. You've got this, kiddo.

    You can do this. Sometimes you might have to do it one minute at a time, but the cravings pass and get less and less as the days and weeks go by, and before you know it you've been a non-smoker for twenty years and your lungs are awesome!

    And as time goes by, it becomes a Bigger Deal to light up, as in NFW.

    Many small victories to celebrate!
