[English Chick]

Well my GOODNESS....been a way a few hours and whoosh.....accidents etc etc.....

Firstly I hope your all feeling better today...luvmuchicks...take care of that hand

....

Babyboy1.....

Lilbizzy...it's Ok to stumble, we have all been there.....

To everyone...stop feeling guilty if you stumble off the track.......if you are cold turkey, your cravings will be far worse then we weaners.........so I applaud you. BUT if you need help try the Nicorette products....

Day 3......

Feeling a little "down" I have kept to my 5 cigs a day so far...but I know I want more! not giving in and th Nicorette is helping...what I have noticed though is I have become even more noise sensitive...I have exceptional hearing (put that down to being partially sighted) but yesterday I found that the "normal" noise of everyday living ws getting on my nerves!....Odd ?

Am hoping that next week things will be even easier, for me at least, my son goes back to school and my daughter goes back to work...they bicker!! so the house will be quieter during the day and my stress levels should be zilch till they get home...might save my cig quota during the day and smoke them all at once when they get home!....no no I wont.

I wish the Spring was here so I can get outside and do the garden.......

Keep up the good work everyone.....xxxxx

I found that if i stopped going to convenience stores i was not tempted to buy a pack. pay at the pump for gas. stayed away from the smoke room at work and waited for freinds to find me after they had their fix. if i didn't see someone i wasn't tempted to bum one. if i smelled someone who smoked it did start to smell bad and if i second hand smoked i started to get a headache.
EVERYDAY YOU TRY IS ANOTHER DAY YOU REMIND YOURSELF THAT SOMEONE NEEDS YOU!!! good luck

Day 3
No cigarettes for either of us
Wearing Step 2 patches 24 hours a day.

Have had only 1 major attack which was late day 2. Survived.

I must admit, I am a little disappointed reading some of these posts... some of you still posess fags? I know that everyone slips up, but smoking a couple of fags is NOT the same as quitting them or stopping them altogether. And settling on this becoming part of your quit routine, rarely if ever works.

yes I'm trying to guilt those of you who are still smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Knock it off.. you made a committment to quit cigarettes.

STOP SMOKING
Its ok if your addicted to nicotine, get some help with that.. but you are NOT addicted to cigarettes, so quite them and get on the nicotine if you have to... at least IT won't hurt you.

Good luck and keep trying!

p.s.
one of my clients has left town with millions of his clients dollars.. investment scheme possibly gone wrong, I've been stiffed on my bill for a few grand and am now almost jobless. I've had to deal with the IRS & FBI for days now... it's MORE than stressful and I'm still not smoking
YAY ME

Hey you QUITTERS!

Good luck, lots of support being sent to you from a non-smoker who lost her dad to emphesema. You can do this. We are all rooting for your successes. Remember that challenges are opportunities to learn, so I agree, don't beat yourself up if you slip, ask yourself what you can do differently the next time you are in that situation! (from years of WW leader training)

Go, go, go, go, you can do this!!!

EXCUSE ME ? Nicotine will HURT YOU ... JUNK gets in your lungs and can KILL YOU ... I was a smoker for 40 years and HAD to quit because of COPD ( Chronic Obstruction Pulimary Disease ) ...... Dr. put me on the CHANTIX PROGRAM to make me quit , I only have 51% lung capacity ..... this smoking off and on will NOT CUT IT ... GET HELP with the addiction and FAST ... WHEN I had pneumonia 4 times in less than 3 months , I HAD NO CHOICE . Ya'll have still have choices , and it should be to quit .

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY .............. Make 2009 a SMOKE FREE year for you too

Im proud of you all. I know how hard it is. Ive been there. I never could quit as long as I had some cigs, I would smoke them. When I quit for good I got rid of all my cigs. It worked
