Joel,

Here are my current stats:  I have now stopped smoking for 10 days, 21 hours, 13 minutes, 24 seconds. That translates into 272 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $54.4! I have increased my life expectancy by 22 hours, 40 minutes, 32 seconds.

The first week was relatively easy (except the first 3) but for the past two days it seems like all I do is think about wanting a cigarette.  I know I don't and I am truly dedicated to being free from them this time.  I have a list of reasons of why  I quit that I carry and have also printed out the material from your website that I refer to when the urge gets strong.  I guess now is the roughest part because of the change in lifestyle that is occurring.  I know it is for the best but do you have any  more tips for me?

I have quit before about 5 years ago for a year and a half.  I found the section on your website about relapse very interesting since I forced myself to have my first cig after a break up with my boyfriend.  The section about "smoking will not solve your problems or stresses, it will just add to them" made me realize what I had done back then.  Hopefully I will not repeat that if faced with a stressful situation this time around.  Thanks for your website, it has made the decision to quit easier.

Thanks,

Kellie
