For Those That Have Quit Smoking - I have a question

Bee_Kay wrote: this got me wondering, as there seems to be quite a few ex-smokers here. I logged onto a messageboard that I frequented a long time ago when I quit for 9 months....

If I hadn't started smoking again, my quit would now be on week 150!!!

How long have you been smoke-free??

amymom replied: I quit only once, 21 years ago last February. I always remember the exact date in February, but can't right now.

WOW 21 years!!! Go me!! lol

And Barb, you can do it too!!!

kit_kats_mom replied: almost 4 years. Not counting the couple of cigarettes I had when drinking a few years ago. Maybe 5 total. The last time I woke up so sick that I don't even crave them when drinking now.

Ashlynn's Mommy replied: I stopped for 3 year's, and then I started again for about 3 month's. I found out that I was pregnant so I quite again. I have'nt picked up a cigarette since last April.

garrettsmom replied: I quit 6 years ago

coasterqueen replied: The first time I quit it was for 2 years. The second time (and last time) I quit it's been 4 years and 6 months.

Bee_Kay replied: WOW!! Congratulations to you all!!!

Jackie012007 replied: it's been about 4 months for me ... ironically about 2 months before I became pregnant, I just decided to quit... I was sick all the time. Glad I did, because now I am 10 weeks pregnant and crabby and that would have been REALLY hard to quit now!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I haven't had a cigarette since October 2003. So almost 3 years.

TheOaf66 replied: about 3 months ago officially but every so often when I am hangin with my FIL I will have one or two. I never was that heavy of a smoker, I would have maybe 10 a day. We had a rule though, never smoked in the house etc. Ya get cravings now and then but keep workin at it

holley79 replied: I'm going to be honest here. I started back up. I quit in the beg of my pregnancy then started back when i came back to work. I'll quit again.

ZandersMama replied: Two and a half years! Didn't realize it was that long, quit when I got preggo with our boy.

TLCDad replied: Over 5 years for me. Though on rare times, I've puffed on cigs and cigars... just never inhale except on accident.

Are you running for President? I'm just kidding.

Bee_Kay replied: Congratulations!!!

If it's no trouble, how often do you get "cravings" for a smoke?

Jackie012007 replied: I find that I get cravings when I see other people smoking... also when I get really upset or stressed out about something... then it's really hard!
