Thanks Patrick. I have been delaying and delaying for over a month now. I was at 2 or 3 a day and hope to be back there from the 7 I'm having now by the time the 9th comes. Thanks for your support.

Thank you! I'm really in a nervous space. I don't know if it's so much that I am planning on quitting but that I have been cut back for so long now that it seems like I'm prolonging the inevitable. My physical being has already changed what with the sleeplesness and the body functions and I can't seem to concentrate at work because I constantly want to go smoke. I am having resentment at work and my head is playing games with me and there is a young man that I love that is dying and i'm nervous and don't feel as happy as I usually do. Anyone got any words for this?
Terry
I love this conversation. I'm new and have not gotten to my quit date yet. But taking the plunge and experiencing a whole new life is something I am not a stranger too. I did that when I quit drinking and my life is so much better. I wish I could get to that place where I feel that way about quitting smoking.
Terry
Kelly, you can lecture me on THIS subject all you want.:) I agree with you about moving my quit date up. I may consider that. Hmmm let me think about that one until tomorrow. I have been in withdrawl for quite some time now and I am afraid of giving these things up even though I know I must. I am also afraid of making a quit date during the week because I may bite someones head off that could ensure that I no longer have a job, so it has to be a weekend. So that would make it next weekend! OMG. As far as the resentment thing goes, I've learned alot about that in the last 6 years if you get my drift. Coming from where I've come from resentments were what kept me there. So I do really need to get this over as soon as possible. OK, I'll move it up.
Anxious 1 you are doing well and you will be a model for me to follow so keep up the good work.
Thanks all that post on here.
Terry
OK, so I changed my quit date to Sat. 2nd. Feb. Today I am cutting down by half, so the 7 I've been smoking I'll turn into 3 or 4. Wheww here we go again.
Terry
I believe the 2nd is a Saturday. Kelly I think I read one of those letters just last night and it was really good. I have every intention of talking to my boss when I go in and am not smoking. He's already aware of what I've been doing with it for over a month now, so he'll understand. And he is an ex smoker himself, so i've got support.
Sounds like a private joke and I definitely don't get it. What do the meals have to do with coffee?
OK so this is where I am right now. I smoked 6 smokes today and 2 were bummed because I hadn't bought any. I did not stop and get any on the way home and I can go to bed without another and wake up and get to the gym and the grocery store without one to start my day. We'll see if I can just continue that throughout the day.
UGH!
This morning I got up and went to workout and ran a little bit on the treadmill. It's easier for me when I don't start the day with a smoke. I then went to the grocery store and as I was checking out I asked for a pack. So I had my first on at 10AM today. I'll be busy with family stuff for a while today and I am confident that the delay tactic will work to have me back down to about 3 for the day. Whewwwww Got go make taco's. Thanks everyone and Sparky for the HALT, I always love that.
