Hell Week and Heck Week are Finished. So what is this miserable week called?

Hey Cassy: Just noticed our quit date is the same. Well if you have been following the posts, I slipped on Friday night and had two cigarettes. I have learned from that though and have promised myself not to do that again. At first I felt really angry and ashamed, but have turned it around as a positive experience. At least I know that I want to STOP smoking more than wanting to continue. So now here we are going into our fourth week. Most days are good for me, although I must say I feel kind of teary. It seems like I could cry at the drop of a hat. I don't have strong cravings as much as thoughts. I tell myself that they are just thoughts and try to distract myself by doing something else. For me knitting helps. I think everyone in my neighborhood will be wearing a new sweater at the rate I am going. Good luck to you in your fourth week. You are doing great!

Swinging Doors

Yeah the weekend was a bit rough, but at the end of the day, it felt good to have gotten through it and now here I am facing week four. Some days are good and others a little harder. The craves are still there, but not as strong that's for sure. I love being a non-smoker though. I can actually say that now and mean it. I guess that's a good sign. Feeling a little down today..This is where I'm at in this stage of my quit. Starting a new week! Mimi
