Hello...
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jenn and I quit smoking on July 4th after smoking for almost 20 years. I just found this community yesterday and so far it has been really helpful.
I know that I'm going to need support from people who have been through this. My DH has never been a smoker and doesn't quite understand the physical and emotional addiction to cigarettes. I am using the patch and so far it is making this quit much easier to cope with than previous attempts.
I am a nursing student and I work full time as a nursing assistant, so I have a pretty hectic schedule with plenty of stress. I want to be a healthier person, especially considering the career I am going into.
So...that's me in a nutshell.
Jenn :)

Thanks for the welcome everyone! Day 3 is proving to be the most difficult so far, but I kind of expected that...maybe that's why it is more difficult?! Interesting theory

It's only day 3 for me, but already food tastes better. I'm snacking on some Rainier cherries before I have to go to work and WOW they taste SO GOOD! This shouldn't be a problem as long as I keep eating healthy!

Welcome El!! Congratulations on making it 12 days so far, even if it wasn't by choice. Making it that far, you have already eliminated the nicotine from your system and have begun to heal.
Hope to see you around here often.

I made it through day 3 smoke free! We were an aide short last night, so being extremely busy at work really helped. *takes a bow* Day 4 is going amazingly well.
Thanks for all of the great support!

Thanks everyone. I'm pretty proud of myself for making it this far. I know it's only day 4, but that's pretty amazing for me.
Hey Ex...I think the counter only counts days completed smoke free because I'm on day 4 but it gives me a "days smoke free" of 3.

Welcome aboard Blue Cloud!
This is a great site. The people here are very encouraging and understanding because all of us are in some stage of kicking the nicodemon in its rear end! ;)
I also quit on the 4th of July, so far I'm doing pretty darn good!

KiwiKeith,
You have sparked my interest. I've considered going vegan myself. Seems you have had some nice results. I'm also interested in whether or not you gave up dairy and eggs. I think I would have a really hard time giving up eggs and cheese. ;)
