Rose, I had a stash of only 2 smokes, and I trashed them. Not quite as ceremoniously as you did, but had I thought about it, I might have. Good job! I, too, have thought "nobody would ever know", but too many people are pulling for me, and I want to prove to myself that I can do it. Keep up the great attitude! Inspire us!

Hi all, I has been awhile still I posted, but I read as much as I can and must thanks everyone who has told me. Not one puff. I had been doing ok recently. I started a new assignment this week. Great... but I am working at home and was home alone this week. My husband returned last night and we went out to dinner. I may has just been relaxing after a stressful week... but boy did I want a smoke! I did not have one! Then today my husband asked me to get something out of his glove box. I found an old package of my SMOKEs (my husband does not smoke). I was and still am home alone. So I was thinking who would know?? There were 15 of them just waiting for me. I have been wanting to smell smoke for some reason. Then I remembered all of you. I realized that I would know and that was just as important if not more important than someone else knowing. All that hard work up in smoke. I can't believe I started shake. Then I did it! I got a glass, put the smokes in the glass and filled it with water! NOT ONE PUFF. I place the glass on my desk. If I wanted to smells smoke I can smell the glass and look at all that brown stuff that could be in my body. I still have the urge, but I am happy that did not give in. "Don't worry, be happy" I am going to keep the quit!

Cigarettes Not Smoked

It is funny how we think we would like to sneak a puff. But then when we really have the opportunity we decide that is not what we really want. Anybody get that sentence besides me? Anyway - you proved to yourself just how strong you can be! Great job!

Rose you should be so proud of yourself! I remember last time i quit, I was on Zyban (this time cold turkey) i had lost my medication and was going mad searching the house looking for the Zyban. Instead I found half a packet of cigarettes. It was SO SO tempting. I posted here instead, and tore the cigarettes into the bin. I was really glad that i did that. You have done well. (Did you destroy them - I really hope so).

Rose I'm so proud of you. I'm not as strong as you are. I couldn't touch a cig. A customer left me one, and I couldn't touch it after a couple of days of having it sit there, I finally vacuumed it up in the vacuum cleaner. To pick up a bunch of cigs and put them in a glass of water. Honey, that's ART. That deserves a special place.
