Good for you.

You should be proud of yourself; you've accomplished some...

You should be proud of yourself; you've accomplished something very difficult! If you've got 8 months under your belt, then you are past the hard part. Congratulations to you. Stay strong!

I quit 11 years ago. Best thing I ever did.

Proud of you too and I don't even know you! A Doctor told me over 30 yrs ago that when I think I want one just tell myself I could have one but choose not to...so that way you don't feel deprived of not having a choice at least. You're making the best choice for your lungs and all other important parts of your body...good for you!

I think you've got it made now @RockChalkJayhawk. Aren't you proud of yourself? Never let your guard down though.

On October 13th, I had my 31st anniversary. It was so long ago, I smoked my last cig on an airplane!

You did a good thing for your body as well as social relationships....congratulations! Please share how you stopped, I have a family member that needs some inspiration.

It'll be 6 months for me on Jan 9th. I still crave them sometimes. Like right now sitting here on the computer with my coffee, a cig would go so good. I thought I'd be feeling physically a lot better, like more energy, able to do more without starting to breathe heavier, but can't say I notice any difference. Sticking with it though.

You just keep on, keeping on. You're the winner in this, and smoking is not your best friend. That was a final conclusion for me, many moons ago.. You have a right to be proud and you're probably saving a ton of money and smelling pretty sweet now.

Congratulations! They say your body immediately starts to heal itself - never too late. Smoking does so many bad things to your body.

Congrats !! That wonderful ! Yes - be proud of yourself, you darn should be! After 30 years of on again off again smoking, mostly on, it is six months smoke free for me.

Congrats to you. I'm right there with you ( 8 months) thanks to @Trudey . She motivated me when she quit. After 50 years of smoking it feels weird. I still think about it but won't go back. We need to stick together.

Congratulations ! I just passed my six year mark. People ask if I will smoke again and I say "no, because it's too hard to quit". I do miss it at times, though.

As well you should be.

As an exsmoker I know what a hard habit it is to break. You are well over the hump.

I'll bet by now or soon the smell will be so gross to you.

Feel good about yourself---way to go.
