Gypsy Congratulations on day three...You certainly can do this. This board and these kind people on it have kept me clean for some time now...It will help you as well. A great deal of this is in the mind and that is where we must tussle with the demons...Keep moving forward the benefits and rewards are worth the effort... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 348 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 10,440 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,654.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 63 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

Good morning Gypsyvisions, Congratulations on your fight for your life. I does get easier every day. Take it an hour, a day, a week at a time. One of the things I learned here was the importance of rewards. Your doing this for yourself, so treat yourself well. Keep up the quit, and post often.

Thanks for the reply, Brenna. I have found that deep breaths and drinking ice water help the most. I've been up for about a half-hour and I'm really psyched. Today is going to be a good day! I can do this! I'm going to come here more often also. I know this board is full of good advice and tips to get through cravings and I need to use them.

GypsyVisions, Drink water, go for a walk, distract yourself, use positive self talk, chew gum, dance, do what ever you need to do to fight these cravings. Take some deep breaths and keep on holding out. They will pass. Brenna, Bilingual Support Specialist

Hi, I'm on day 2 and to be honest I'm jonesin' pretty bad at the moment. I am taking Chantix and it helps tremendously. The bad cravings go in waves...If I hold out for 15-20 minutes, then I'm okay for a while, then another wave and so on and so on. I guess I just wanted to come in and vent a little. Thanks for listening (reading, lol).

Welcome Azure, You have a positive attitude and knowing you quit before should tell you that you can maintain this quit. Post anytime and hang in there!! Let us know how your doing!!

Welcome Azure, there is a lot of knowledge, encouragement, and wisdom here. I know what you mean about offering advice, I'm having trouble with that yet. I think if you just post your experiences you are being helpful for others and yourself. Be ready for the unexpected. I'm also in late 40's and 30+ smoker.

Welcome Azure, I too am in my late 40's and have quit after 30+ years...this is a reassuring place to be as we're all in the same boat (rowing in the same direction i might add!). Visit often as it helps...

Hi AzureinBarrie Welcome aboard. I'm on day 3 now and almost completed it. I smoked for over 40 years. It sounds like you're determined to quit and that's half the battle or more than that. I'm on the patch so I'm still getting nicotine in my system but very little so I'm getting a lot of cravings but I'm fighting them off. We can do this together Azure and we can stay in touch and support each other. This is a great place for support and encouragement...the people here are wonderful. Hang in there my friend.
