10 days!

I am 10 days short of being 10 months smoke free!  A friend of mine at work has decided to quit and he is now 1 month free.  We've been walking together on our breaks.  One thing I've learned from Al-Anon, is that it's always a blessing in disguise when new-comers come into the picture, because it helps remind you where you've been and where you've come from.   Mark is not using any kind of help with quitting, and I wish him all the best.  I just know that I couldn't  have done it any other way.  I'm glad that I used chantix, not because of the medicine itself mostly, but because the program REALLY helped me to learn to identify my reasons and triggers and develop alternatives to those habits.
