Losing it.

I've been watching you as well. Right now I've eaten so many Planters nuts, I feel I'm going to turn into one. I see that you're tired, and last night I couldn't sleep. Maybe because everyone said to drink cranberry juice. I almost drank an entire 1/2 gallon. OK, One more try, let's do this and get it over with.

Deperately seeking... something, anything... HELP!!!

OK Jaden, I don't know how much I can help, I'm only on my second day. One more try might be able to relate a little better than I can. I've never been an emotional person, so the feelings that stem from not smoking, are new to me. Irritability is definitely the emotion that needs to be held in check. I've informed everyone I deal with that my last smoke was Sunday night, and expect the worst from me for a few days. We're all going to go through this together.

Remember Apollo 13? It was crippled in outer space and the astronauts, had to endure incredible hardships to return safely to earth. Their motto: "Failure is not an Option".

My coughing was limited to once or twice this morning. Pretty cool. I still want the after breakfast smoke, though. Did you make it through yoga?

It's true, I'd rather not smoke and have bad and good days. The problem, is that while trying to quit, they all seem like bad days. The light at the end of the tunnel, is all the help from all of you. I'm told that the first 3 days are the worst. Tonight is 3 days. I hope you guys are right.

yet again

OK Stan, Listen up... I've smoked 2 packs a day for 35 years. I stopped Sunday @ 7PM. Still not smoking. No aids, just the wonderful support of the people here. I let the people I work with know what I'm doing so they don't think I flipped when I let loose. In fact, now they're asking me how long since my last cigarette. Check in here often, it helps a lot. I'm now looking forward to the end of the third day. One more try has helped me over the 1st 2 days. Everyone is behind you.

Day 2 and doing OK

Funny you should ask, Martha. I just updated my timeshare. The savings from smoking, covers the increased expense. I'm going to take an extended weekend at the beach with the 1st months savings.
