DAY 1....EEEEK!!!

Hi smokerella I'm new and have 1 day quit as well. I guess we'll be going through Hell Week together. I'm finding it difficult right now but there's a saying - "A short time in hell is worth a life time of freedom." Congratulations on quitting. You'll do great! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 50 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $18.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41

Junkie Thinking

Junkie Thinking's twin brother is in my head right now but thanks to these posts, I feel at bit more equip to handle him. I put a sign up in my mind that says, "Don't feed the Junkie." :D Thank you so much. I needed this post today!

Just what to do with myself

Hi DJ I love what Martha said - "Attitude is a big part of success." When I find myself in the explosive mode, I try to release my anger in a positive way. I sing, yell, dance, cry, and run around the house talking to myself. My poor husband thinks I've gone over the edge. Hehehe - but at least I don't smoke. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get up and dance, I feel a crave coming! :D Congratulations on quitting.

How to beat a craving, with a twist...please add to this list

This is a great post! Last night I found myself craving and my mind went blank (something it does frequently - hehe)- what to do? I'm going to copy these "beat the craves" and will be more prepared the next time. Excellent suggestions!

Warning...if you're thinking of not smoking....

WOW! I never thought about it this way. So true! I will miss flicking my cigarette out the car window and it coming back over my shoulder into the back seat. My goodness, the fires I could have started not to forget the danger I was putting myself and other drivers in. The pretty charcoal-coloured burn marks on my car seat The times I've dropped a lit cigarette on my couch and frantically grabbed for it! Excellent post and reminder! Thank you!
