Starting a new day without Smoking!

[toletiquesbysam]

Good For You!!!! Don't get discouraged if you do break down and have one, one is better than 4/10/20 however many you normally do smoke!! The urge to smoke lasts doesn't last long, and if you resist it then each time gets easier.
I had the biggest urge after I'd eat, then I'd want a smoke or when I'd be driving around then I'd want one, the urge occasionally will still be there for me but it's alot easier to resist!!
My DH still smokes, we are with each other 24/7 since we work together as well so I'm still exposed to the opportunity and there are times I've really wanted one but he told me I didn't need it and made me stop before I did. It's been 13months now and that time helps me from starting, I think I don't want to have wasted those 13months and have to start over sometime later!! A co-worker of mine, congratulates me each new month so I know people are backing me which helps. Soo that's what we'll be for you!!!

Congrats and Good luck!!! I quit for a month a while back and started back when things here got extremely stressful and am finally getting back on the wagon. I have 1 cigarette left and that's it. So I guess we'll all be here for each other

Good job mom!
I will tell you what my motivation was..... my kids. I wanted to be around to play with my grandchildren.
I see the poor health my father is in due to lung cancer, my FIL can't breath, my own sister has the beginnings of emphysema (sp) and she is only 46. Her only child is due with her 1st child the fall. I hope it gives her the motivation she needs.....

Good for you though! Keep up the good work. It's hard, but so worth it. Just think of your daughter

you can do it!!

When you feel like you want to smoke wait 10 minutes before you do. While you wait do some junping jacks or something to get you breathing and then you won't want one. Thats the trick that worked for me three years ago!!
