THE SMOKERS QUIT CAMPAIGN - ADDITONAL NOTES

[Jena]

You are all doing really well. EXCELLENT!!!!

I am trying to sleep a lot, and I did pick up a paint brush, I did a small area in my hallway, but my arms ache so much, so I went off to do some cooking, and sat in the freezing garden for about 20mins. Nature is awesome.

lol.. today I went to town for an hour ans spent time with a friend who hates me smoking, so that was nice, I bought lots of nice buttons for my knitted things and now I can progress with them.

I have also signed up to do a craft fair, so I am hoping this will also keep me busy.

So as soon as I can stop sneezing my brains out, I am going to get busy busy again. I have just sneezed, 15 times, real bad sneezy coughs.... OMG.

lol... never mind will soon improve.

Keep it up folks, you are all doing brilliant.

Jena.

i know you are all feeling as if you are in a struggle and most of you are, and its with cigarettes.for the past several years the cigs have been winning. but now you are gonna change that. by smoking less youve basically been working out to be stronger than the cigs. and if you keep up with your training routine you will over come! youll kick them out of your life and forget about them. and most important of all, i know you can do it!

CHEERS to All! You are doing great!

I haven't been on too much because when I sit at the puter all I want to do is smoke and drink coffee! ARGH!

I still have 7 cig's left from 2 days ago. Yesterday I only smoked 3....WOW! Never thought I would be able to say that.

DH only has 5 cig's left! It will be harder for him as he has smoked for 30 years, but he is trying!

We CAN do this!

Congrats. to all of you/us. Everyone is doing such a good job and taking control of theirs lives, instead of letting the cigarettes control them.

Keep it up. I too am on and off of here, because I want to sit here and smoke cigs. while on my puter.

cajunlizz - I am in Ponchatoula, LA.

Here is a little cheerleading for all of you/us, to help lift spirits.

I would go outside ... no matter how cold ... and take a DEEEEEP breath in and out ... repeat as necessary.

A major craving normally only lasts for a few minutes ... hang in there!

 

[Kesta]

I am sooooo proud of ALL of you ( and me too!!)

I feel alot better today, I woke up and did the dishes. Then watched Regis and Kelly (funny stuff

) The I started the laundry and took a nap

hahaha I like sleeping cause then I dont have to think

Now i am looking for something to cook cause I am starving now

I want some popcorn, yum that sounds good

Okay, hmmm that was a wierd RANT type thingy!!

Okay, I will shut up now.....

 

[Don]

OH! I forgot another thing I did that helped me a LOT!!!

I would brush my teeth when I got heavy cravings ... and I got a STRONG mouthwash (Listerine Blue) and rinsed like a madman. Hehehehehe

Had toothbrush/paste/rinse at work, home AND in car ... just in case.

I hope these aids help someone as they did me.

Remember, trying SOMETHING to beat the urge is better than trying NOTHING!

Be strong and be well ..

Don

PS: I *WAS* the one saying, "That's easy for you to say. I can't do it." Blah blah ... that was me, seriously! If I can do it ... ANYONE can do it! LOL ROCK ON!!
