New beginnings

Hi Merlin! I'm a newbie too and couldn't agree with you more. Just thinking about all the time we spent smoking. Well that's in the past. It's full speed ahead now! I look forward to travelling this journey with you!

Hard Night

I have a few days under my belt and I'm still determined not to smoke. I just hope that today will be just a little easier than yesterday which was pretty hard with the cravings. I know we all experience quitting differently but was wondering how long do these intense feelings last? I'm not complaining because I understand that to heal I must go through these stages, I'm just wondering when to expect these feelings to fade. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hard Night

Thank you bear! You've eased my mind. I think I can get through the next few weeks. My poor family. They have to put up with my strange emotions. I'll have to do something special for them after I get through the next few weeks. They deserve it! It would be nice if I could sleep but I suspect that will come in time. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 4 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 200 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $72.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 26

CBT Day ? Anger, Part II

Thank you for posting Sylvie - Very helpful! One of the ways I cope with anger is to remove myself from the situation if possible. I take some self-time and collect my thoughts, go for a walk or spend time doing something I enjoy. That way I can channel my anger into something positive and relaxing. It usually works for me! :D [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 4 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 200 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $72.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

Hard Night

Here I am Tresa! Boink, boink, boink! Yep, I�m bouncin� back and smiling again! Thanks for checking up on me! It�s nice to know someone�s watchin� out for me! I did something spontaneous and, to some, a little bit nutty at 6:30 this morning. Hahaha I went into the backyard where I usually went to smoke and took in the beautiful winter scene. It was so serene and quiet. For some reason I felt compelled to lay in the snow and make snow angels like I did as a kid! My goodness! What a sight to behold � a 54 year old woman frolicking in the snow � alone and laughing aloud! WOW! It felt so good! Hahaha! Smoking had never given me a lift like that! I�m feeling a lot better today. The cravings aren�t nearly as bad and I'm smiling the smoke free smile! Smokerella and merlin � We, the 3 Smokeless Bandits will get through this! I have a big backyard and you�re both welcome to join me in snow angel 101 classes! I�m an expert now! Hahaha You two are doing great! Daily Llama � I hear you, my friend and I�m smiling! Thank you for being here and your vote of confidence! bear � Thanks for �bearing� with me this morning. Lol! You�re a gem! Sylvie � Thank you for your words of comfort! It�s great having you here! Changing � Bless you for sharing your early memories and advice! Someday I�m gonna make you all proud! goofy - You da man! What can I say except I love you all and I'm still smoke free! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 4 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 200 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $72.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 52

Daily LLama 3 weeks!!!

Congratulations on your awesome 3 weeks! You are an asset to this site and a great supporter to those of us who follow! Stretching is good for those leg cramps but maybe you should have the doctor check it out to be safe!
