Frogger.
Hang in there. Listen to these people they do have good stuff to say. I did cut back a little. I really did try to remove some cigs.But it didnot work for me. I had a quit date but I was not ready or prepaed enough, did not make it. So I tried the next mon. All that week i worked on a game plan, and started putting it into action. Well I am on day 2. It is hard but I am okay. In fact a lot of extra crap has happened to me the past few days, But i survived without a cig. YOU CAN DO IT
With Love, Faith, and Grace

Well 2nd day of quit. Although I have been going at it since monday. There is a force in the universe that does not want me to quit. Some of you might have seen my post yesterday. Well today already being no different.
I thought it would be a good break to get out of house this morning go to park. Well of corse I get the kids in car and the darn thing won't start.Normally this would have been no problem. I would have got out, smoked, and gone to find help. Well I did [u]not[/u] smoked. i got out of the car it was like I didnot know what to do. So I went and sat under a tree. Thankfully, once again, my neighbor came to my rescue. I owe them big time. I ended up going to park. My nieghbor went to. She prayed for me there. The cool thing is I HAVE NOT SMOKED. So dark forces are attacking me. Don't want me to quit. However there is a higher power woking.
The past few days have been Hell. I have not smoked. So with what has been being thrown at me I have been able to face without a cigeratte. I have read alot of stuff about reward. I know the past 2 days is worth something Fabulous.
I also thankful I got a decent night sleep. Although my dreams were also being attacked. I kept dreaming about smoking, or waking up as if I had just smoked.WEIRD. But the superhot, super long shower last night helped. When I tried in the past I did not sleep well it was hard to keep fighting cravings, Deal w/kids, and clean house. Kids and house r hard enough on no sleep.
Ok I am just ranted now, But who would of thought typing would actully be benificial in releaving stress and helping reduce cravings. but it does. Well I am sure i'll be back around my stronest craving time....dinner
ttfn ;p

What a great post. You guys are all inspirations to me.
Riverdaleman you are doing great, it seems like you really have got alot out of not smoking. Sounds wonderful. This first week is wiping me out, so glad to know it gets better.
Nascarfan, I am right there with you babe. I actully went through 2 pregs never could quit completly though.
Mistymoon, my youngest is one. I feel like I have already missed so much of him, Becuase of stepping away from him to smoke.
My biggest reasons for quiting are my kids.Even this time I thought maybe I needed to be more selfish and do it for my health. Well my health is part of that I guess. I don't want my children to have to take care of sick parents. Or even have to have the agony of watching rents die young. My mom did it with her mom, and almost lost her mind. My kids will not go threw that with me.... Oh back point, did not think I was gonna do it for real this time . Until the other night heard oldest grasping for air in middle of night. The doctors think she is developing asthma. Gee thats a great way to show your kid you care. No more..... They will no longer be subjected to that crap again.

Thanks sterk.
It is my secret wish that he would do it to. I do have to do this for myself. And i know if he quits he has to really want it. Quiting is not for the wishywashy. It is hard. My hubby is supportive but he is feels like he is losing something to. Avoiding him on the other hand, sounds like a bad thing but actully easy. My sinus are opening and he already really stinks. Plus we just got our computer so we both have been on here alot. Hopefully he will come around but until then I must be strong, and find other ways to connect with him. Instead of our 5min porch meetings that we have been doing for the past 7years. It is not just the smoking that is being disrupted here. But I have faith it will all work out.

Celestia,
Hang in there. Yes it was torture the first day. Today was not so bad. In fact we have just finished eating my hubby has had 3 cigs since he has been home. I am keeping my self busy,drinking hot tea, reminding myself why I am doing this, and being strong. For myself,chrildren and my hubby to. Plus this really helps.
Good luck to you.
P.S it took me 1week last time of only smoking that1 cig, before I quit. I was still hanging out side with him.3days I took 1 drag 3 days later I was buying apack. Not this time I* am done.
Faith, Love, and Grace
Thanks
I am here again, becuase it is that time of day. My absolute wrost craving time. So I like to come here before I start dinner. So far today I have done well. I have been at this site alot. I really never knew how much power something like this could have over my cravings. It very inspirational being on here reading the other post. Yet something very soothing about typing my feelings to. I know the longer I do this the easier it will get. So I keep going forward. I choose not to smoke today. I know I will have ahard time in a min, but it is just temporary. I will live,and I can handle life on lifes terms. I can do it all without a cig.
With strenght, faith, and Grace
Okay I am working on day three. I have been doing ok. Day one was rough, but no real physical withdrawls. I thought the worst was over, but I just started feeling very strange. My heart is racing, my hands are shaking. Totalaly cannot concercrate. My chest feels heavy and my breathing is iratic. This is hard for me even to be on here. I think if I were not quiting smoking i would probaly call a doc. I really think this is the last bit of nicodeman getting out of my system. Oh my goodness I think i need to go lay down,, Myhands are shanking to bad to be on here anyway. Well the good thing is I diffantly do not want to smoke.
Thanks cyberduke.
Well I intended on resting, but all my wierd physical crap just got replaced by a fit of rage. Once again I am very glad this place is here. Although she may not know it but my 4yr should be glad too. I am so completly on edge at this moment. I feel my emotions are competely unbalanced and out of control. I had to leave the area from my kid. Man I am trying to do something good here. For myself, for her. Although I really do not feel like mom of the year. This is not her fault and she actully has been a trooper so far. I just feel like I am losing it. I still feel like I am just getting attacked.
N ow I just feel like this whiny little kid. Whigh, whigh i'm quiting something bad for me and its so hard. Boohoo Boohoo. Ok I am actully better now. Ok time to go make those choc oatmeal cookies. yum
Thanks in advance for advise or suggestions. This is such a great oulit for us people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired of smoking anyway.
Grace
