out with friends...who don't smoke! And it's really much easier like this. No cigs on the table,no urge to smoke! It was only like a "pop"in the mind but since there are no cigs...i didn't smoke. I had more temptation while being home..being bored. Kept my mind busy though..my hands too.
My only problem is that i still have headaches...and i really feel like my body is healthier and cleaner..but these headaches..
Today started better....
Have a good week you guys.
Kiss from Athens-Greece

where noone smokes in bars,restaurants,cafes. It's so much easier! I saw just a couple of people smoking..and these were lonely,isolated smoking outside,standing,away from people ( having dinner in a restaurant where there was a wedding...)
This is easier there...because in Greece you can still smoke everywhere.... And this is a temptation.
Today a friend passed by. Should i bring my cigs? she asked...yes of course,if you want...i don't smoke!! oops,ok,me neither,i don't want to tempt you!! cool no?
no more headaches,no more soar throat,no more dizziness.
Good smell..good taste...good breath.
Let's see how it will go...because the thought of holding one..is still here...

two weeks already means that it will start getting better soon. You have to be strong. And working out really helps! Depressions goes away in a sec.
And if you want to cry...cry...it's not bad. But get up,go out for a walk,go to yoga classes..meet people..talk...take care of yourself.
if you come here...you'll find candies everywhere...all kind of things...in these last weeks i've bought all the sugar free products i could find!!!
stay around
hugs

thank you guys... i'm still in a bad mood..with a BAD headache.
But i'm controlling it.
Monday afternoon starts my vacation! Going to an island called Folegandros (near Santorini for those who know) and i'm staying for one week. I want to leave everything behind..
Cigs are already left behind.
Hope you're all doing good.
i will talk to you soon.

turned out really bad at work!! I mean REALLY bad..however i went home,took a nap,walked the dog and during my [i]boring-want a cig[/i] moment before to get ready and go out i was just lying on the bed RELAAAAXING... it was hot and i didn't want to do anything more.
Yes,i can relax now because i always remember when i wanted to relax i thought,ok,let's have one cig now and in ten mins you'll be resting.. but this stressfull,fast cig was just making my rest disappear!
Thank you guys....
have a good day all of you....

i'm sorry i haven't been round a lot. I'm still with a slooow internet connection -it's been 2 months now and i cannot even do my work easily-. I just manage to read your posts..slooowly...but can't always post.
So,i just wanted to say...headaches are gone,dizziness is gone almost everything is gone..no more bad physical feelings..however,there are moments-mostly when i'm bored-that i want to light one up. I realised just yesterday...i just wanted to light one up.
I don't feel like this when i'm out..when i'm doing things..when i'm driving...
i buy always candies so i'll have something else...
it sure feels so good that nothing on me smells bad anymore!!
so good!!!
but these bad boring-let's light on one feelings..make menervous...

Hi Jacko,
i did that too! I had a slip too and i thought that since i counted again from day one it would be better to reset the counter.
We've still saved money and the most important is that we are still here....
take care and stay close
hug
