Hi ImaWriter, Congratulations!! I heard from you on the first day I posted (I stopped smoking June 11) and I just wanted to encourage you too. Today is my 6th day and my cravings or smoking thoughts are considerably less and I feel great! I did the same thing you're doing. I kept myself super busy the first few days, walking, visiting places, just being out (since I work and smoked at home), and it helps. Your positive and determined attitude is wonderful, and I think you might even have a little fun with this eventually too:) In the mornings, I check in here to read a little, and find support. In the evenings, I bring a big bottle of water with me to where ever I'm going to relax and drink it before bed. (I have to get up and pee during the night, but it helps with the wanting a bedtime ciggy) I'm still keeping busy, but I'm not as afraid as I was at first. I also signed up for a once a week stretching class. It's only a half hour, and helps me be more aware of my body and breathing. When I smoked, I avoided excersise along with a lot of other things that I feel more free to do now! Have fun at the garage sale!

Tomorrow I will wake up a non-smoker!!!! :) I will have PLENTY to keep my busy. I'm helping my mom and sister conduct a garage sale. I usually work the money table when we do sales, so I will be VERY busy from 7:00 a.m. through about 2:00 p.m. Beyond that, there will still be plenty to do straightening up for the next day, plus I will come home EXHAUSTED! I've already emptied my ashtrays tonight. It was a deju vu moment because I've done it before BUT this time, I will NOT be digging in the trash for butts! :) Just want to thank everyone here. All of you who have been quit for a day, a week, a month, a year - however long - you are such an inspiration!! Thank you!
