Hi Trish,
Congratulations on your quit! It sounds like you're doing just great and getting lots of primo advice here:)
I wanted to share with you that my lungs still feel strange as they're healing and when I exercise, but I feel so much better. When I smoked, I didn't have the opportunity to actually enjoy exercise. Smoking took the place of it. I couldn't enjoy it. I hope you can find a good groove as you're carving out the new and real you:) It's not easy, but it's right.
Sometimes it helps for me to think of smoking as just a really bad accessory that I don't want anymore:) Chimney's are for fireplaces:)
xxx-ooo, mk

Hey Bear... here's a hug.
I hear a plea for some reasoning in this life of ours that is never guaranteed, yet can be so fabulous or frightening in just a moments time. Cigarettes or no cigarettes. This whole struggle with booting an old habit from our lives is just plain hard sometimes. It's like barnacles on a whale, but far more dangerous. If it were easy, everybody who smoked would do it eventually.
I feel like either a cheerleader, or Eore (the negative donkey:) on this site. I want to be supportive, and I also want to be realistic. I think about these things too. For me, entertaining thoughts of smoking is like lighting a match. It has to go somewhere and I obsess about it. Try to acknowledge your feelings here, and then distract yourself with (gee) a walk or a nice dinner out or something?:) What are you going to do for yourself with the money you've saved so far?:) A trip to the Man's Mall?
Hang on.. because it's for you, and you deserve good air and quality life just like anyone else:) I may need you to remind me of these things too someday. We'll make it - and someday I hear we won't even wake up thinking about it!

Is that gypsy jazz music I hear coming from the NRT's today? Sounds great! I love that wompin' guitar and those speedy little notes that sound like caffeine, if you could hear caffeine... Here's a chocolate croissant and a cafe de creme for a pick-me-up Unhooked. No one can call YOU Patches:)
Thanks for all the smiles here. Keeps my mind off ol' what's his name... snic, flick, nic...
Have a great day!

(((irish))), So good to hear you're not giving up on quitting! No need to beat yourself up (I've been there too:) Just hop back on and keep moving forward. Get rid of the cigs and give yourself a nice long walk or hot bath... Be good to yourself. You're worth it!

How are you doing Jeniwho? Looks like you received some great support here. I wanted to share with you that I had a slip around the 30 day mark too. This may or may not have anything to do with what you've experienced, but if it could, I want to mention it.
The main thing is to learn from it, and like Nonic said "...grow yourself out of this addiction."
Hang in there and be good to yourself:)
