Do I have to go through it all again?

Hey ArwensMom ! What happened .. did you smoke just one.. are you still smoking ? If you smoked one and hated it.. I say don't restart the meter.. just pick up that pack and burn it and then carry on.. What happened.. details.. let it all out..

YELLING AT MY KIDS !!!

Josie, I was going to sign up but that damn age limit thing !! Not that I couldn't pass for 29 or anything.. but I'm sure they ask for documentation if you win.. hehehe.. I'd better keep practicing on my kids though.. they love my voice so much... :eg: 11th.. My kids have yet to discover that my new found voice also carries small amounts of truth serum.. (I'm going to find out what happened to my calculator yet and when I do there will be hell to pay !!) :8o: Hang Tuff !

TODAY IS MY QUIT DATE!

Hey Matt !! Welcome, pull up a chair, get ready to talk because we are ready to listen !! 24/7 and holidays for sure !! We all know what you are going through really ! Are you quitting cold turkey ? Using a patch/ gum ?? There is a new club forming for people who quit smoking in February 06. It is being run by FairyDust.. We are looking for a name and for new members.. you are welcome and invited. Pick up some hard candy.. it will help with the cravings.. get 3 kinds.. sunflower seeds are good too and I hear tootsie pops are all the rage ! Get rid of all cigarettes and ashtrays and give yourself 0 access. Drink lots of water or tea or cranberry juice. These will help flush the nicotine out of your system faster. In 3 days you will pass the physical addiction and it really is easier after that. Look at quitting for what it really is.. rehab. Pamper yourself and make the next few days about you. Rest when you need to, vent when you need to. Eat a bit more if you need to. Let others know that this is your time.. it helps them to be supportive. YOU HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION !!! YOU CAN DO THIS !!!! STAY POSITIVE !! HANG TUFF !!

off the patch

Judy, Judy, Judy !! You have come to the right place girl ! You and I are in about the same boat .. I quit 14 days ago (this afternoon). Congratulation on dropping the patch ! We are starting a ne club for people who quit in February.. we are still trying to decide on a name even. Look for the post about entering a name and getting added to the list if you would like to join. FairyDust is collecting the names and info of new members.. We'd love to have you ! Try carrying around some hard candy (and chocolate ONLY ON OCCASION !) to help fight the urges. They give your body a quick lift to get you through. Come often and know that we know your pain because, we are brave soles on the same journey that you are ! You can do it !!

NRT is doing my head in

Ex-roller, I suggest stocking up on the coffee fix.. (tea is fine but, as we ALL know Coffee is DIVINE). You know that gym is sounding good to me too ! I am seeing it now, casually heading off to the HEALTH CLUB in my new workout suit. I am admired by all and I am feeling the part too. I am meeting new friends there (non-smokers) and we are planning great weekends together on THEIR boats and at THEIR summer homes. It is a great idea.. adding new things to your routine helps break the old routines.. Hang in there.. you are entitled to one bad day from time to time.. look at Cheney (now that's embarassing).
