I'm new and new to posting

I have eight days now and this is my first post. I'm doing ok... I go to a 'tobacco cessation' group once a week and am on the patch which dropped by 7mg after the first 7 days. I guess thats all. You all keep going, you're my inspiration.

Will the Second week get any better?

I'm just beginning my third week and it is getting much better. The first couple of weeks I was brushing my teeth with every crave and now I'm getting nice pearly whites but I need a new toothbrush. The Cravings now arent nearly as intense, I can sort of flick them aside. I'm hoping it just keeps getting easier... best wishes to you!

Achievements

I've picked up reading for pleasure again. I'm rereading 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe' right now. I had forgotten how much I liked to read. I also have been visiting friends I havent seen in quite awhile, picking up old friendships. Best to all... PS I cant get my Mileage to show up but this is day 17 for me)

congrats to all. I'm always so happy when I see the lists of nonsmokers. It gives me more energy in my own effort. Way to go!

stress and why is my hair falling out

In my life there are lots of stressors and I wont drag on about them but when I started my nonsmoking I began to notice than my hair started to fall out at an alarming rate. My hair brush fills up quickly (every day or two) and I'm wondering if anyone else had this happen?
