Am I crazy???????

No your not crazy I'm on day 21 and I had a dream last night and in it I was smoking and the craving to have a smoke was terrible this morning eventhough I don't want to. My boyfriend and I did the laser treatment and so far no physical cravings just mental. I hope they go away but your not alone and it's hard especialy when youv'e smoked a long time. Hang in there and try sucking on coffee stirers or straws or long pretzel rods they help with the hand mouth obstacle. Good Luck!

Hi from the windy city

I've been smoke free for 24 days now. My boyfriend and I did the cold laser treatment together. I still have mental urges but have found this website to be very helpful. It's nice to know your not alone and this is a tough battle worth winning. I'm still trying to navigate this site so I hope to join in more discussions. Good Luck to everyone on this site! We can do it!

My thoughts on pre quit date

Good for you Tnranger, you are doing just fine. If you wait till Monday to quit just make sure to stick to it and take day by day I can't believe I'm on day 34 but i still take it one day at a time. Keep us posted and Good Luck!

well it is getting harder

Use the commit if it helps. Drink alot of water with a straw that helps the hand mouth thing and try sucking on some hard candy I have 5 different sugar free bags of hard candy on my desk Werthers works best for me. Be strong and jsut remember how much better you'll feel everyday from not smoking. STAY STRONG!

Need some quit buddies

Annie my boyfriend and I did the same thing marked the our quit date only to have it go by. Then my son asked what are you waiting for and I couldn't give a good answer so I picked up the phone called a laser center they had an opening the next day we went and I'm now 25 days smoke free. Just do it and take one day at a time! Angelic welcome aboard and good luck!

Friends & family

well Imdone I feel the same way! I still haven't told all my friends and family just as it becomes relevant. Some are very supportive some are not and like you I don't want to disappoint anyone but I'm trying to remember this is for me not them and it realy doesn't matter who you tell or not as long as we keep not smoking and getting healthier. We'll just all keep going day by day!
