My quit meter says 4 weeks and 2 days (it'll probably switch to 3 days at 6:30-ish). I actually smoked my very last cigarette at about 6:30 pm on August 7. One calendar month. I can't believe it. I think I've given myself a pretty good birthday present this year (it's tomorrow - in case you were wanting to send me a fabulous gift ;). Now I can focus on lasting through December. That will be when I can drop the smoker fee off my health insurance - just in time for Christmas.
I've been reading Maggie's posts about tapering and finally taking her last dose (link to the side). I find that idea utterly terrifying. I'm looking forward to being off these pills, but I also want to be REALLY sure that I'm officially a non-smoker before I stop. My somewhat loosely formed plan is to do at least one more month of pills. Maybe even two. My doctor approved me for 4 more refills, but I really hope I don't need that many.
I can't remember what I was dreaming before I woke up, but it must have been a doozy. My husband was trying to wake me up this morning and he says that I kept telling him that I was not going to get in the shower until the other guy got out. And the other guy was someone from a TV show - but Jeff can't remember who. How weird. As if my hub really wants me showering with an actor. I barely remember any of this, but I do remember feeling kind of offended. Funny.

Congrats, congrats, congrats! One Month! That really is just awesome. You are really doing this.
I do think it's smart to not want to rush into being off Chantix any sooner than you are ready, and I think that's why I haven't been too concerned about it. I feel ready, and I kept in mind that I could go back on if I felt like I needed to. So far, so good.
Nice dream! Gosh, those are gone for me completely now, aren't they? Bummer.
Tasina, congrats on being smoke-free for one month! You go, girl!!!
Tasina, Happy Birthday!!!!! And congratulations and many felicitations on your one-month smoke-free anniversary. YOU ROCK!
About that fabulous birthday gift -- you didn't get it? Augh! I'll never use a discount shipper again! ;)
Seriously -- big congrats on your one-month anniversary. You Are Making It! That's so cool.
Oy, with you you never know what's next on the menu! Having your mobius exposed isn't very helpful at all, I think, at least not on this side of the country.
Congratulations on your month!!!! I am so excited...I remember your posts when you were so worried about stopping smoking when you pretty much weren't smoking anything at all. I was really worried that you were too unsure of your success, but I think you were more scared to make that leap onto the other side.. Am I even close?
And last but surely not the least, happy 24th birthday!
24....I don't even remember what that was like from here.
