Tips to keep your quit going....

You are correct Marivi, I forgot to write SLEEP...SLEEP...SLEEP
I remember now that at my first month no smoke I felt like sleeping allot...
I really felt tired. I believe it was the body adjusting and trying to recover and start fixing the damage.
 

 
Thanks all for the input, its great to read all the different ways to keep away from the cigs.

I hate this!!!

I know Marivi...I always thank God when I by my mango box with 12 mangoes for what would be 2.50US$
I have lived at London for a long time and I know how expensive and tasteless fruit is there. We are lucky that a healthy diet is cheaper in the country we live.
 
Hello Sparky, I have seen the SUPERSIZE ME on dvd, it is soooo disgusting what MC can do. I really think that those mega portions should be forbidden by law, it is so explicit that they are against the nation health and that they don't care for anyones health...they only want your money and your addiction to their food just like the tobacco industry.

Can Anyone Relate?

I know what you are talking about Angie, people can be cruel without meaning to. I say that because we know what it takes to stay away from smoking and the self control we have to find in us at the beginning of the quit. Outsiders have no idea.
 
When I stopped I wanted to tell everyone about my quit but I realized that peoples reaction wasn't doing me any good and putting in my mind doubt if I would be able to continue smokeless... The impression we have is that no one believes us.
 
I don't know why but outsiders tend to make you feel week when you talk about your quit...I know it is not their intention but it is what happens.
 
Be proud of your self! You and just you are the one that matters when its about your quit.
 
We here at SSC know what you are going trough and we are proud of you! 
 
Stopping to smoke is a lonely trip...not all that lonely...we are here!
