Ready to slip..

hey matt, i sure hope you still just driving! while you were driving did you notice how much better you can smell everything? you've been through three days of hell and you need a break. but not a break form the quit. this is one reason why rewards are so important. YOU"VE MADE IT 3 WHOLE DAYS!! You deserve not just a pat on the back, but a nice reward! It's time to rewire those circuits. Nicotine reward the pleasure centers in the brain so your brain thought it got a reward every time you smoked. Now you need to re-train yourself....you get a reward for NOT smoking. It can be something small...like an hour to take pleasure in something you haven't had time for or splurging on a starbucks coffee. hang on tight matt...it is sooo worth it! we CAN do this!

A smoke for spite

*grins* good for you on staying close. strength is not "being able to do it yourself", strength is knowing when you need help (and asking/accepting it). you are a strong lady.

I'm FREEZING!

hi cem, I got colder also. Smoking generally increases your blood pressure. When your blood pressure is up, you feel warmer. Sooooo....when you quit smoking, blood pressure goes down....you feel colder. Definately though...if it bothers you, go see the doc, okay? Congrats on 4 days...you're doing great! :) [color=Purple]~lbugg~[/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/17/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 341 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 18,097 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2250.6 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 33 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20
