Congratulations Beth! The first few days are the hardest, and you're doing great! I also spent A LOT of time here those first few days. I think it kept me from smoking. Make sure you pamper yourself and get plenty of rest during the first couple of weeks. Your body is going through a lot and beginning to heal. Let us know if we can help in any way Boxerfan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/28/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 213 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,260 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,065.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

Hi Mercy....day 1....I made it.....it's pretty rough, but didn't light up....or even ask for a puff of my husbands cig. He is being wonderful...and stepping outside to smoke. I have had thoughts...it wouldn't hurt to take one tiny puff....but, I ended up coming on this site and reading the posts...it helped to take my mind off the craving. I will rid of the "Nicotine Monster" Thanks....Beth HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 15 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3.56 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

Hi Beth, We are almost the same. 3 times try to stop, cut back before stoping, and I have been smoking for 35 years. I am sure you will win. It's tough, but it definitely worth try.

Hay Beth. Good wishes from Down Under. I also smoked for about 25 years and it is very frightening to quit - you feel as though you are "losing" something that has been in your life for a long time. I recently watched my husband go through a triple bypass and 14 out of 15 people on the ward were smokers ... one as young as 33. It certainly brought me up short - seeing people walking around with drips/drains/zippers in their chests [shudders]. Now, after 30+ days, I realise I never lost anything when I quit, I have only gained things - health, fitness, better skin, taste, breathing, money, time, control. I really hope things go well for you. I found that just taking one day at a time was helpful - if you look too far in the future, it all seems a bit bleak ... just say to yourself "Today I will not smoke" and leave it at that.

Beth I am so excited for you! it might be a little difficult for the first few days or weeks, but if you want this bad enough, it is yours. Those physical symptoms are from the cuting down on the nicotine. They will go away. Nice that you have the weekend to pamper yourself (I'm hoping you're not working this weekend). Do whatever you can to make yourself feel good, because pretty soon you will feel great to be not smoking. Drink plenty of water, read and read and read here. Post for help if you need it and most likely someone will be around to talk you through any bad cravings. This is a very very good thing!!! -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 218 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,720 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,482.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 30 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27
