Well today went much better.  Still tired a lot, but I know that is part of the quit.  Also the weight!!!!  I know I don't have to worry about it that much, but man.................  Do you think it could be all the cookies I am eating  When the thoughts come, I tell myself I am a winner and winners don't smoke .  Have a great week-end everyone!!

Good girl, Sparky!
Sometimes I think that Monster knows exactly the right moment to tempt us. 
You reminded me of a wobbly day I was having early on. I was in a sloped parking lot and a whole lit cigarette
came rolling right to me. I kid you not!  I hopped in my car really fast and sped away, breathing a sigh of relief.
 
I think that we make ourselves stronger each time we choose to say no.  You just gave yourself a bump up on the "I am strong" scale... good for you.  You can make it a really good quit when you choose to say no.
 
Best, 
HP
ps. that cat is too darn cute!

Well I am into day 10.  I promised myself that I would be honest with my feeling and not push them aside.  I am doing okay for the most part, but.........................   I was out today and saw a cigarette laying on the ground and thought "Dam, if I were not with hubby I would have picked it up."  This is the beginning of the thought process and I want it to go away.  So I came here read and reread some of my old post.  Don't you just hate it when you have to eat your own words. .  Anyway I will not smoke tonight and will make a new recommitment tomorrow.  These are dangerous days for me and I am so aware of what is ahead. 
Can we have beat up the monster party.  I have a couple bats.  They use to have a Thursday night bonfire and people would come throw their trouble into it.  So I will throw in my stinking thinking and false pride.
