7mg tomorrow @ 1 month

Thanks Windy/ Everybody, Yesterday My 1st day down to 7 mg was pretty uneventful. I didn't notice it much at all. I think I was prepared for the change (that day). Today was a different story, It was very wierd all day I was thinking I was a smoker and it was "time" for a smoke. All day I had to remind myself I don't smoke anymore. I believe, like everybody, there is a nicodemon (That part of your mind that wants you to smoke). Let us also consider the opposite of the nicodemon...the nicoangel. Let me give my real life example of the nico-angel at work: unbeknownst to my wife I had been having these weird feelings of being a smoker again, she sent me to the local market to pick up a carton of eggs. Nico-demon was in full effect on the way to the market, he was telling me I can become a closet smoker, like a buddy of mine. I was in line at the market, I think the possibilty of me blurting out my usual order of cigs was most likely at it's highest it's been since my quit. There were two casiers working, and a bunch of us waiting our turn (were waiting for next available casier). When it came to be my turn next...In a blink of the eye, walked in the nicoangel in the form of an old lady! Yeah...She took cut's in front of me!! With fruit, that had to be weighed. And paid with, yup a visa card. I walked up after this lady approached, hence losing my place at other cashier....two people that were behind me finished their business, before I started!! Once it was my turn, ordering cigs was furthest from my mind. *****ing about the old lady taking cuts was....The cashier then said "I know, I am sorry, I know you were next but there was something about her I just couldnt send her to the end of the line." I think I know what that something was----nico angel perhaps? Heck even if it is not that...maybe I'll get a little more compationate....huh, another bonus(?). Btw, all, I was in no REAL danger today...but it was one of the tougest I have seen. Just a reminder to me and all to not let your guard down. Thank you all for your support [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 29 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 599 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $133.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

new start

Welcome Senior....Peteg's advice has merit (it always does). When I came home from work my 1st day quit the house seemed extraordinarily LOUD. I had to go upstairs and take a nap to quite the demons. I know x mas in my house is going to be loud, it usually is. With hands waving through the air as stories are being told, as well. (Gotta love the Italian in laws, lol) However Senior, you may have made your mind up and that is that and no turning back, I certainly don't want to discourage a quit. I just want to let you know of my experience. By the way senior, you are never alone here. Any advice or rant or vent let the good people here know. Help is only a few keystrokes away....Good luck---Kevin [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 39 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 795 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $179.4 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13
