5 months and counting

Jack, by marking time since you last smoked, you're keeping the fact that you haven't had a cigarette since thus and such in the forefront of your life. Most people who go back to smoking after months, or even years, do so, because they never get passed quitting. The always think about it.

I stopped 30 years ago, and the only time it even crosses my mind is when some one tells me about their "attempts" to quit. I usually tell them to stop attempting, just do it, and forget about it.

You're body's need for a cigarette has passed and ended just days after you quit. You're a success, except in your mind. Perhaps it's time to stop counting. It's behind you, move on. :thumbup:

You probably are very right Frankie. I don't think about the day I quit very much. Mostly when somebody asks about it. That urge to smoke is there often enough. I find it the worst when I do something that I haven't done since I quit like last night. I went fishing for the first time since last summer. I sure wanted a smoke when nothing was biting.
