Starter here... I will make it!!!!!!!!

Ok, Today is the day... I am very confident I will be able to make it work. Last month I managed 11 days without smoking but I wasn't very peaceful with the idea. NOW I AM, AND HAVE SET MY MIND FOR IT! I know it is not easy but I cant have that in mind. One step at time. Minute after minute. In no time I will be collecting hours, days, months with out tobacco. Yep... today is the day. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 0 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $0.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28

I want to thank every one for the support :) For sure it is going to be much much easier than being alone in this battle. I see on posts the amount of money people people save, very impressive. I guess where I am cigs are very cheap (US$1,25 pack with 20, cowboy brand, I don't even say brand names anymore LOL) so I wont be saving much, LOL. I don't care. What is important is being healthy when I reach 40 in 2 years. Thanks again for the support and lets make the cigarette companies bankrupt!

Being bad and mean helps with the cravings.. LOL, just joking. I feel the answer is water, if smoking comes to my mind I don't even conclude the thought, I drink cold water, and if I am at home shower.. cold too! Now every were I go I have a bottle of cold water. I don't think I will reward myself on a daily basis, now at the beginning it will be weekly.

I know! I have been drinking up to 3 liters of water a day, I believe it will as well help with the detox. I agree, water fulfills the desire of smoking but it has to be chilled and in large dose...

Another day goes without any difficulty. I just feel like a cig when I sit at the computer, I work on a computer... now with a water bottle on the table. Getting in to my third day and feeling ok and happy. I have been feeling more sleepy as usual, I know its just my body starting to get used to no tobacco and initializing some healing processes and detox. It would be bad if I couldn't sleep (insomnia) but happily it is not my case. :)))) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]10/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 40 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2.72 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 38 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53

Monday will start at the gym, I believe it will help... feeling more healthy adds distance to the thought of smoking I believe. Funny, my mother came to spend the weekend with me, she smokes ...LOL. But now she is forbidden to smoke inside and after she uses the ashtrays she has to wash them... I told her "or you do it this way or you wont be coming here for the next 2 months".. LOL.. poor mom. She decided to cooperate. :))))

New quitters! Read this, tips for you :)

Hello gang :))
I have been away for some time.
I am glad to say that I am still smoke free and it does not cross my mind getting near a cigarette.
I feel as if I have never smoked.
I did it for 20 years. I found this old post I published years ago and it seemed to have helped some people. So I am bumping it to the top.
 
Good luck :))
 
Thanks SSC a Tresa for all the support.
