Hi msreader1 Good for you not caving to the craving. At 9 days I was curled up on the couch in the fetal position , just couldn't deal with it. Reward yourself for not giving in. Think of how good you're going to feel in a short while. You know you've already made it. Don't forget the cold water. Wash those craves away. So proud of you for not smoking ! breather 58 Addict 0

Hi Bryan There you go ! Hot SiO2 quit with Chantix so he knows what you'll be going through in relation to the Chantix. Picked up some walnuts , pecans , etc. at the market today ( the kind you have to crack open ) After xmas sales are good. Thought they might be a little better than just stuffing myself. Have to spend time cracking them open , etc. A good time waster and I'm starting to look like a beached whale Let us know how you're doing. breather 58 Addict 0

Hi AC Sounds like a fun item to use. Must be the picture invocing some old memories. Some memories are worth keeping. It's funny though I'll be thinking of something that happened 30 years ago and then you go why am I thinking about that ? I think everyone should have an iron dog nut cracker. I guess the percentage of children that smoke who have parents that smoked would be higher than the average. I wonder if anyone's done a study on it ? breather 58 Addict 0

Hello again Jay Henny Penny has given you some excellent advice. You mentioned that you quit for a week and it got harder. Most people need to try quitting more than once. We learned to smoke and equally we have to learn not to smoke. And yes it gets harder but after a while it gets easier. Henny Penny recommended Allan Carr's book and I have to agree that it is a good help. It's called The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. When you decide on a quit date set your quitmeter. That way you can countdown to your quit and keep track of how many days smoke free , etc. To do this go to MY Profile , fill out the questions and click yes to turn it on. Look forward to hearing from you. breather 58 Addict 0

Hello Sue The things that are the scariest are the things unknown , the things that haven't happened yet , the what if's. You've had 2 awesome quits in your past that have led you to where you are now. Realise that this is a process and your past two quits figure into the equation. It's understandable to be apprehensive but think of it as going swimming. When you first dive in it's freezing but it doesn't take long to become aclimatised to the water and within a short while it isn't half bad. Eventually it's refreshing and enjoyable. Avoid a situation in the short term that might be a trigger until you're more sure of yourself. People , places , and things. If you're afraid of being in a situation in the short term then don't do it. Attempt that situation when you're stronger and more sure of yourself. Always leave yourself an out and if you have to just leave. Never allow yourself to become complacent and lose track of the reasons you decided to quit in the first place. Those reasons will be just as valid a year from now as they were day one. Fear is a lack of faith. There is no good reason why you can't succeed. Others have done this and so can you. The water's great , jump in !!!!! breather 59 Addict still 0
