Need to Vent

Morning HealerWithin. Mall walking sounds great, but I would have to do it without my wallet or I'd be "walkin'" into every store. :p I hear ya on the baked chips. I have discovered Skinny Chips. They are only 130 cal. for about 2 cups. Nice and crunchy and salty. Yum Yum. 3galeh, I'm going to google your cabbage soup recipe. I have seen you talk about it before. You always sound so positive on this eating thing. You really seem to know what you're talking about. I sure can use any advice. Closet Smoker No Mor, Welcome to our quit family. :) [color=Red]redrosie[/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 84 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,025 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $697.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Rd Man The Quit and all the Stories

Hi Phillip, just popped into the site and saw you were feeling sad. I too have felt great sadness and also fear by the problems people can have in a quit than we think should be extremely strong. It causes me to be afraid of my quit. I am trying to use this fear as more ammunition in this fight against this horrible addiction. We must be ever vigilant. We can't give up. Let's just use this knowledge from ourselves and others to continue on this crazy a$$ ride. Keep Strong Phillip. By the by, What's special about Tuesday? Toonie Tuesday? LOL.

I'm in trouble

Penguin, I am sad for you. Sad for your depression, your unfullfilling marriage and your choice to smoke. I have suffered from depression myself, so I know how our minds can trick us into sometimes seeing things the way they may not really be. I hope you can feel happier soon and see things a little differently. I hope you make a choice to try again soon. I'm sending good feelings your way.

Need to Vent

Hi Healer Within. I had to laugh as I read your post. I too went shopping tonight. And one of the things I bought were 3 new... er, well lets just say since my quit, my cups runneth over. lol. It sure can be shocking standing under the florescent lights in those dingy dressing rooms. Oh well, I hope you bought yourself some nice rewards. You must live in a big city do you? I have never heard of someone mall walking before. My town is so rural we don't even have sidewalks by my house. I hope you can do well on the eating healthier. I have good intentions until something crunchy and salty starts calling my name. Usually chips. Congrats on your 20 day quit. Actually, officially by my clock you have hit the 3 week mark. Yipppeee!!! for you.

The scariest thing happened today.

Good for you on passing that test. It was a toughie, but you pulled it off. Can I just make a suggestion that you make sure you never go to your new tenants to borrow a cup of ciggies? :p They sure sound like they like to make sure they never run out.

I am on my 1,654,256,234,523 attempt now.

Welcome back jerlasvegas. I'm no doctor, but I don't see why you can't still exercise while you're using the patch.I didn't do much working out while I was on it, but I'm sure others who have here will be able to help you with good advice. I used the patch myself for 8 weeks and I think you probably will need to use it longer than a week. Maybe you should go to your Docs. and get him/her to put you on a good quit program. Keep Strong, you Know what you have to do.
