Hi everyone. Sorry I was gone for a while there. Just been real busy with work and sometimes being on this board made me think even more of smoking.
Anyway..I've been doing great. The craving believ it or not have become stronger after all this time. I think it's because I went to step 2 from step 1 with the patch.
Today i learned that a very good and dear friend of mine lost her baby. I don't mean in a miscarriage. I mean his first birthday was later this month. He was the most adorable baby boy. His mommy and daddy are utterly devastated and I just feel so freakin mad!
It amkes me feel like, why the hell should I quit smoking if when our time comes our time comes, rergardless whether we smoke or not.
Deep down inside I know I'm not going to let myself smoke because of what happened. But I needed to say that outloud for everyone to hear.
I bought myself a bottle of wine. It's safe, all the stores are closed and I don't have cigs in the house.
I guess I just wanted to express how I felt.
Thanks for reading.

Hey windy!!
I know how you feel. I have no energy and I feel like a child that can't have her favorite toy. I really sympathize with you. But you've come this far and that is great! I cannot believe i'm on the 19th day i think? wow! who would have thought we could be non-smokers? lol
Hang in there girl, hopefully it will get easier for both of us.
Thank you so much sunflower :)
The sad part about this too is that they had just put an offer on a beautiful house because they needed a bigger space because of the baby.
The baby passed away at the darecare center while she was at work
::cry::
You're right. Thanks so much my2girls :)
Windy!! I missed your post. How have you been sweetie. I posted in your tired thread. I hope you hang in there sugar.
I am so sorry to hear about the two boys. How very sad to lose young ones in life.
I hope my son lives a long life. I love him so much.
Windy, everything you said I feel! word for word. Please get out of my brain! lol
i'm on day 65 and like you for the most part i'm over the desperate need for cigarettes but I still feel like a smoker not smoking.
Hey Windy, how you doing?!! Nice to see you're still here! and going strong too! good for you! Thanks for stopping by to say hello. :)
Thanks to everyone and good luck. I am hoping to get soemtime off to sit and chat but things have been hectic. I wish you all the best in the meantime. Rock on!
Today is my 2 month anniversary!! Not one cigarette, not one puff. Nothing!!
I have to say ti feels longer than a month and I also have to admit, I still crave them every now and then. I guess I sort of crave it now which is why I thought to come back tonight and tell you all about my progress.
I rewarded myself with a new winter jacket, 3 bras and a belly ring. I have also been on a diet and lost almost 10 lbs! I have been going to the gym every single day for 21 days I think.
The weirdest thing is that recently I have begun to feel very poor cirulation on my legs. I never felt this when I was a smoker and now that I quit, I feel one the the things that is suppose to go away when you quit if you do have it. What gives?
anyway... I have not forgotten about the people who offered me support and I wanted to say thank you. :)
Oh and I don't know if you guys remember about my good friend who's baby died of SIDS, well she's pregnant again! she is very confused though and of course still devastated. I still think about her little one quite often. He reminds me so much of my son when he was young.
well.. I wanted to thank you all again, and I hope I don't make myself a stranger.
good lucxk to you all again!
