Things are going well today. My wife tells me I look different, but she can't quite put her finger on it. I definitely have more energy.

This is going better than I expected.

My kids gave me the high five today. How's that for encouragement?

I'm ready to deal with the cravings by breathing deep, drinking water or distracting myself - whatever it takes.

I almost went to the coffee shop today, but that would have triggered a craving so I went for a walk in the park.

Sometimes I can feel the nicotine talking to me, but I've stopped listening.

Tomorrow will be 10 days smoke-free. I'm feeling a lot healthier already. I'm so proud of myself.

I made myself a list of things I can do instead of smoking... go for a walk, finish my book, bike riding. It's going up on the fridge.

I know there are some more challenges ahead of me, but all in all this is going pretty smoothly.

Rewarded myself today for going this long without a cigarette. I bought brand new bowling shoes.I can't wait to get out on the lanes.
In addition to quitting, I'm trying to eat better too, so I ordered a salad instead of fries with lunch today.I actually liked it, and I felt good afterwards.

I made a list today of things I can do around the house if I get bored.Having a list keeps me busy. And being busy keeps my mind off smoking.

I know what my triggers are for cigarettes, I even have a list. Now I can deal with them when they happen.

Had a nice lunch with my wife today. Guess what? I never thought about smoking once and I was able to taste the food better.

When I was smoking I played hockey without a problem. But now that I've quit I feel a little lighter. Faster. Wayne Gretzky, eat your heart out.

Not a craving in sight today. Zilch. Zip. It's amazing what you can do when you're really focused on a goal.

Took the car pool to work this morning. Mike lit up a cigarette and guess what? I was kind of disgusted by the smell.I asked him to put it out.

I was getting dressed this morning and I noticed my clothes didn't smell like a dirty ashtray. Haven't noticed that in a long time. My kids even said something.

It's odd, but I feel like I have more control over decisions I've made since I quit.

I'm thinking about getting a membership at the local gym. Funny but the thought would have never occurred to me when I was a smoker.
I never thought I'd be saying this but quitting has really made a positive change in my relationship with my wife, kids and friends.
When I woke up this morning there was no sign of the scratchy throat that had plagued me my entire smoking life. Gotta love that.
Got the bikes out this morning. Went for a half hour ride with the kids. Didn't think about cigarettes once all day ... well not too often anyhow.
Who'd have thought months ago that I'd be living a smoke-free life today?
My wife told me she was proud of me for making it this far. I knew at that moment I had made the right decision.
Had a doctor's appointment today. He noticed a change in me.
This is really working out for me. I should've done this a long time ago.
Quitting smoking has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. But it's also one of the best things I've ever done.
Sounds like a cliché but now that I've got over the hurdles and through the cravings, I feel great.
I'm feeling great. I hardly ever run out of breath anymore. Totally amazing.
Tonight I'm going to a party where people will be smoking. Guess what? I'm not even anxious about it, because I have tips to help me through the temptations.
I told a few people at the party that I was an ex-smoker.One guy said he was going to use me as motivation to help him quit. Me? A role model. Imagine that.
