Knights of the empty ashtray - February Quit Group

Thanks JessieMarie - it means so much to have some encouragement! The hardest time is when I get home from work...so this afternoon I will be using the tips that the center has suggested. I want to be an Ash Kickin Knight!!! So glad that you were able to get a good night's sleep...that makes all the difference in the world. Together we can do this! This support group is awesome!

I think I need slapped!

ChickenStix - Congrats on continuing on your path. I don't want to dwell on the problems but a suggestion - have you asked your doctor for some help? Like Wellbutrin? I have to say that this little pill has helped me through the rough times - although it has only been two weeks - I haven't lost my mind yet and my family thanks my doctor every day! Hang in there Island Girl

Knights of the Empty Ashtray - 3/6/06

Island Girl checking in and am smoke free as well. This weekend went pretty well and even hung around my friends that smoke. They wondered where I had been...I just couldn't be around the nicdemon but now feel much better and stronger. Thanks to everyone's support!

Frustrated

Cuddles - Sounds like you need some hugs - {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} My husband smokes too and it is very depressing to think that he is slowly killing himself, knows this and continues to smoke. I have been going through a very frustrating times with this. But the perfect thing about it is that it has totally renewed my desire and strength to continue on this fresh new way of life as a non- smoker. I have asked him to keep the cigs out of the house - this he has done. But I have also asked him not to smoke on the porch - I have since learned from this website about 2nd hand smoke and nicotine in pets. I love my animals very much and don't want him to smoke around them as well. So slowly but surely I have moved him out to the yard. I am hoping that one day he will realize how silly and futile it all is and will just give it up. BUT I DO KNOW that one has to want to quit more than they want to smoke and THAT is what I am choosing to do. You are choosing LIFE - and that life will be abundant! One with fresh air, clean breath, beautiful smells, lung capacity and most of all your health. We love you here - you are always here to cheer anyone one on with your wonderful illustrations and encouraging words. Thank you for being here and being such a strong woman.

Yoga & Meditation

Hi Christine - Want to hear something ironic? Right after I posted to you one of my best friends called (actually she used to be my yoginee) and put her two year old on the phone. She wanted her "auntie" to come and do her kid yoga tape with her. So I went. It was a cute tape from Mai Lana with all little children in the tape. We had a ball! Actually worked up a sweat! So...hope you are finding some good tapes - sometimes TJMaxx will have them at a good price.
