Thanks guys ! I am so glad .. so blessed to have all of you watching my back and sticking by me :) Blue Cloud, good for you ! I'm so happy to read that you too are moving out of that horrible blue feeling. Josie is absolutely right.. take time for much rest and relaxation whenever possible. Our bodies are healing. We've put ourselves through so much abuse that now we really need to have as much down time as possible mixed up with many distractions and most importantly to accept it .. the feelings and just let it all go when necessary. Today was sooooooo much better and I'm feeling really rejuvenated. I want to hang on to this feeling for as long as possible. When/if it all hits again I'm now very prepared for it.. and knowing that YOUR here for me will make it better a lot faster. Thanks again everyone..

Sam I'm very glad to hear that you're feeling better. And also proud of you for hanging in there when it was so difficult. Great attitude in terms of learning and acceptance of the whole darn process. I was thinking it might be helpful for those who come along, to have your today's post added to the other thread, so anyone dealing with similar experiences will be able to see there is an end to those blue days.

Hi Sam, so Happy for you. I too am moving out from under that cloud. Isn't it amazing how sticking to it is paying off. I had been feeling bad about smoking and from smoking for so long it had become my normal. I am so glad I quit and even more rewarding is the fact that I am starting to feel good. I'm proud for you. Keep on doing what you been doing and I'll keep up with you on the board. HARD WORK.

It all started around noon yesterday -- The low, blue like feelings lifted and I began to feel so much better :) I took full advantage of feeling better inspite of the fracture on the top of my foot and went out to do a little shopping, got home made some decaf coffee and simply relaxed with a good book ! No tears, no sadness and today I woke up feeling very well rested and back in the game with a much clearer mind. *phew* It was a tough 3 days, quite admittedly the longest 3 days I've had in a very long time - BUT now they are in the past and I'm washing my hands of them and moving forward once again. IF this should ever happen to me again I won't be so afraid of it and allow myself to simply go with the moment(s) and give myself permission to FEEL. Thanks to everyone who supported and advised me during that very rough patch :) :) Sam xo [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/6/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 19 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 380 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $137.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 57 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26
