Its great that you've gone 45 days (!!) without a cig.
If you start smoking again (yeah, its probably really tempting) then when you want to quit again, you'll have to do that 45 days all over. Why put yourself through that? Be kind to yourself. If my roommate went 45 days without smoking, she says she would NEVER EVER smoke again because she'd never want to go through that first 45 days again.
If that makes sense. Go for 50 and see how you feel. If you still want a cig, go for 51. You know, little steps. In my opinion, 45 days is a great beginning. |

| The first week or two are the hardest. Don't go back now that you've lasted a month and a half. It's not worth it. |

| i quit smoking and it was rough... 45 days is a long time so to turn back now would be a bloddy shame! This is what i did so maybe it can help. In canada and most of north america i think we have sunflower seeds that we eat by putting them in your mouth and cracking the shell with your teeth and then spitting out the shell. For those who know what im talking about sorry for the retarded description but i have a bunch of friends in Germany and when they came to visit, someone gave them a bunch of sunflower seeds at a baseball game and they thought it was bird food. So i dont' know if you have had these before but it was good to eat them because it kept my hands occupied and my mouth so i didn't have such a craving to pick up a ciggarette. Also try chewing massive amounts of gum.. but the first idea is better. GOOD LUCK! :) |

I quit about a year ago. At the same time I started working out like crazy in the gym (1.5 hours every day). Haven't had the urge to smoke after a month. I don't work out nearly as much now, but I haven't gone back to smoking, either.
