Congrats, Mike. I always heard it takes about 21 days to completely flush the system, so you're on your way. Stay strong and focused. :-)

I've had two hits on cigarettes since I quit back in 86. Those things are nasty. :-)

Good luck to you! May 2010 find you cigarette free!

I'm a few days behind you, Mike. I had my last cigarette about 45 mins ago. I finished up a pack to avoid the temptation.
Ever since I started smoking cigars a year ago, I've found I don't enjoy a cigarette when I could be smoking something that actually tastes good. Plus, being 42 and having a 5 month old baby, I want to make sure I'll be around to see him graduate, and then some.
It's not freezing here today, so I may go fire up a good strong cigar in a bit. :-)

Good luck, if you can get through the first few weeks it's down hill from there.

I am still smoke free, but have been tempted. I took a little RG PE over to a friends house yesterday because he is a cigarette smoker and I was glad I did. When I was jonesing I just lit up the cigar.

Since about October I have been On the road to quitting Cigs. I have had a couple of relapses. Usually on a long ride late at night.
But My ride home from Work is an hour or two and i usually will grab a Cigar for the ride home. But it is getting easier each week and the smell of a cigerette is really starting to bother me.

15 days here in a couple of hours. I've been smoking a Shortie in the morning with my coffee, and another after dinner (two of the times I *really* want a cig).

I am almost at the five week mark. Gone a whole month without smoking. Glad to see I'm not the only one to maintain. If you've gone over three weeks, then there's no use in turning back. The urges never go away completely. Like I said earlier in this thread, I was clean for three years, yet the urge took hold of me still.
Best of luck to all!:-)

I quit for 10+ years. Was out having some drinks with a friend, he lit a smoke and held the pack out to me. Next thing you know I'm back up to a pack a day.
This time around, I'm hoping to be more successful knowing I can smoke something I actually enjoy, rather than something I need. Even a Backwoods tastes better to me these days than a cigarette. :-)

After the relapses that would last a day or two after not smoking for a week it was easier to not smoke again so it goes longer between relapses and I have been Cig free for a month now.

I think that Monday was my 5 week mark. So I assume that you just hit one month?

I haven't paid attention, but I haven't thought about smoking a cigarette all day and that is a cool feeling.

Six Weeks!
How's everyone else holding up?
