new to posting not to site

My daughter (who is 16 and has never smoked) has anxiety/panic attacks and guess what brings them on? CAFFIENE! Caffiene is a stimulant and it sends her right off the edge! LOTS of caffiene in that dark chocolate! Might wanna switch to white chocolate or pretzels or something! Just a thought.

Didn't I also read somewhere that caffiene has a heightened effect on a person after they quit smoking?

I'M NEW TO THIS SITE

Hi NikNak! Your mom quit the same day I did, so I always watch for her posts and they're always so special... she's obviously a very special lady. Smart lady, too, sending you to this site. :) I'm sure she wants you to be as free as she's gotta be feeling now! (It's the way I'm feeling!) It's horrible, this addiction, how it keeps you a slave, calling on you every thirty minutes of every day! How liberating it is, to be free of that! When you have a few moments, click on the program tools on the left side of the screen - they really are helpful in planning a quit. Best wishes!

Amount 'Saved'

Okay, my quit meter says I've saved over $120. My husband quit the same time I did and smoked about the same number of cigarettes per day, so between the two of us, we've saved about $240. What have we spent? My bicycle: $78 His plane ticket to go with me on a week-long business trip over Valentine's Day: $209 Total: $287 Oops! Went a little over! :D One of the coolest things about this trip is: WE RESERVED A NON-SMOKING ROOM! Wooohooo!

No more patches for me.

[size=4][color=red]Hey y'all, THANK YOU for the encouragement & support!![/size][/color] Every day I am so grateful for the changes in my life. Get this... [size=4][color=blue][center]I can yawn. Deeply.[/size][/color][/center] For at LEAST the past twenty years, I have not been able to have a really deep, satisfying yawn. How sad is that?!? In the past few days I have noticed that not only can I breathe deeper, my yawns are GREAT. What a weird thing to celebrate, LOL. I saved my little glove compartment thingie today... just thought it was neat. [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y137/sammijofl/glovecompartment.jpg[/img] See that peak on the 16th? That's me going off the patches. See that I'm back down to a low/moderate craving level? It has gotten SO MUCH EASIER so quickly that I'm amazed! Doing a little happy-dance here in Florida. =D [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 19 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 590 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $57 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 23
