Day 2

Today is day 2 & feeling okay. I can't even say how many times I have tried to quit, but I haven't given up yet. I have been smoking on & off for the last 30 years & hopefully this will be the last time that I have to do this. I do have fear that I will give in to my cravings especially when I get stressed out. But I am trying really hard to stay focus & be strong. I am on the patch & so far this is working for me. I do fear the day I am done with them~ I am hoping my joining SSC I can get the support I need.

Day 2

Thank you for checking on me . The graduation was so beautiful, of course now being a non smoker & emotional - I cried thru the whole thing.. lol :) That is a question I do have; are you more emotional? I feel I can cry at a moments notice..
which is fine, but I wondered if that comes from stop smoking?? I have been doing good, & have passed hell week! yay!!
I can't seem to figure the quit meter thing tho, I think its my computer being so old..? I guess that is how (probably) you get the awards things? I am fortunte to have a job that keeps me busy all day long, plus I do lots of typing so my hands are kept very busy. No longer take those smoke breaks & I can get all my work done :)
Have a great day!!!

New here

Hi Terry,
 
As for you I have smoked for 30 years and through the years I attempted many times.  I understand how you feel about being bored since smoking is so much of your life.  You need to find something else to fill in that time either a new hobby or something that has interested you & never had the time to do! I find working in the garden really helps, & wait until you are smoke free your sense of smell will come back & the smell of the flowers is amazing! Come to the site often it really helps - there is a lot of support here & that helps stay forced & strong :) 
Wishing you all the best!
Brenda

new day --new site- new frustrations.

I am on the patch too, never knew there was patches that were more than 24 hrs.. wow.. very cool! I was also taking the patch off at night, didn't like all those weird dreams, but in the morning is when I am the most grumpy . Thanks for the info. 
Keep up the great fight (along with all of us)
