24 Hours down; rest of my life to go

Dear auntie, You're doing great. I have a good tip for you though. You smoked for years when you were on the phone, you always smoked when you had coffee. I had the same urge as you with coffee and phone. I tried talking on the phone in a different chair and had no problems. Instead of coffee I had tea and so on. Change the situation and you don't have the urge to smoke because that new situation has no conection with a cigaret. This helped me a lot. Hope you can use this tip. Hugs, :)Fini :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 106 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,654 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �312.7 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57

I`ve Coped Very Well For 19 Days!!

Hi Jacko :) I went also to a BBQ and I sat next to a smoker. I looked at her and saw smoke coming out of her mouth. That made me laugh. I didn't bother me at al. Now I know that I made the best choice ever. People who smoke always think that you can have no fun at a party when you don't smoke. WRONG!!!! I had more fun than ever. I wish you a great time in Turkey Jacko. Nice weeknd all of you.

this is so hard

Hi Princess, I have smoked for more than 35 years and had no trouble what so ever. Cravings?? I don't even know what craving is. Withdrawal symtoms? I didn't have a lot. The only thing I did was sleeping and sleeping. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I didn't mind though, I was asleep anyway....lol. I think it's all in the mind, but that's my opinion. Hugs and be strong, Fini :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 105 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,633 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �309.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

What do you do when your not smoking?

Hi Tina, nice post. I live in The Netherlands. When I don't smoke: I SELL CIGARETS !! LOL Ironic but true. I work at a gasstation and selling cigs is a part of my job. At home I paint, clean and I am writing a book about quitting smoking. Writing is my way of passing time. I love it though. My book is almost finished and I have a publisher allready. Hugs from Holland :) :)FINI :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 105 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,629 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �309.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3
