I'm Stepping Down

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 87

The dog is staying away from the site and I have to pick the pool up on Thursday after I finish up my work week. Can't smoke if you're all wet! :p Last year I use to swim under water two lengths of the pool (wall to wall (24 ft Above Ground)) I would like to see how I do since I quit smoking. Maybe I can make it on a third trip... Might need to practice. I dunno. ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/11/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 31 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 775 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $108.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 2 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Today wasn't so bad. I hope it only gets easier from here on out. Now all I'll have to worry about is getting up earlier to work out for an hour everyday. I'll tell ya, I am so freakin tired in the morning, like I don't wanna get up but once I hit the shower, I'm okay. Talk about draggin ass. Holy MOLY! I went for a walk today down the road with my dog to my friend's house. Her smoke stole my breath and we were outside. It's like I can't breath around it! Just somethin about it that I can't stand. Is that weird or what?! I ~L~U~V~ deep breathing. Man, I fill up on that fresh air, ALL the TIME too! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/11/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 750 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $105.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 6

Well, to be honest, I really don't notice a change right now either, other than knowing I'm 7 mg less. I even stared a pack of menthol Marlboro down today that were sitting on my table an arm reach away. Not my brand but one that I would have smoked, it would have been good enough... I just stared at them, knowing I could steal one and my friend would never know it and I didn't. I was laughing at them, petting my dogs head as I turned to him telling him how much I love him. I honestly feel that I'm breaking free from the demon. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/11/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 750 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $105.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 29

Mama G. Just as your fellow member mentionned, some quitters do experience a few days of adjustment that include an increase in cravings and mild withdrawal symptoms. Others do not notice a significant difference. Everyone is different! Have your coping strategies and distraction at the ready just in case you need them.

Hey MamaG! I was on the patch. The Step down isn't so bad. Mild symptoms for 2-3 days, the usual, sleepiness, edginess and a bit of the blues! Similar to your first few days but much milder. (And that was just me - not everyone even notices a change) So relax, have a bubble bath, take it easy and steal some 'me' time for yourself! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 97 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,425 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,023.35 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

No, that is not my dog. She looks just like that though...I found that picture online. I think I will put her picture up because everyone is always asking....let me see if I can find one. We have an inground pool and she jumps in uninvited all the time. She tries to save anyone who goes off the diving board. (Especially me because I am her favorite!!!) She is laying beside me snoring right now, since she worked so hard today!
