HI NAscar, How are you today? I am 3 days into my quit. For me, i do experience craving in the mental aspect...lots of voices doing the junkie talking, and the uneasiness i felt when the regular habits of lighting is no longer available. I was kind of lost in my Day 1. Into my Day 3, but the voices are still there... what i have done so far is to accept the thoughts to be there since i cant help it, but do not respond to it physically. (e.g. The voices tells me to drive to Wal-mart to get a pack, I heard it, but I simply refuse to open the door, pick up my car key, or even refuse to leave my couch) And after 10 mins, the idea will subside. Ha ha, I know what you mean about your office stink. I suspect that our sense of smell gets better when we quit...now, i can smell many scents (fragant or bad) in my house which i never knew existed. All the best. and keep in touch. We are May quitters. na [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 79 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $12 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 55 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

Well Mr. Ed, Posting gets me by some days. I feel good to be able to help others get through the tough spots. Plus, I need cheering on sometimes and it's only fair that I return that to others. Thanks for your kind words....all of you!!!

I am doing well so far. On my last quit I did really well for 3 days and then caved. I know I was so angry and decided to smoke. I wish I wouldn't have, but here I am a month later giving it another go! I am determined to beat this. Last night I was playing with my 2 year old son and I listened to him breathing and hated myself because I could hear a little rattle...how disgusting is that??????? I am so angry that I didn't do this sooner. I hope my husband can hold up his end of the dael...to not smoke in the house! Please please please!!!! The evenings are the hardest for me but I keep occupied with dinner, dishes, playing, dancing etc! I focus a lot more on my son when I don't have to light up every 15 minutes! I feel better already but know that it's still going to be a struggle. I am up for it! I need this! Funny thing is, I came to work this morning and my goodness....my office stunk bad. Just from me going to smoke and having that on my clothes made my office stink like stale smoke!!! UGH! What a nasty habit I aquired....I am ready to be free.

Hey Nascar, You can do it!! My wife hasn't quit yet either, and it is tough with packs still laying around, but I just keep saying "I'm stronger than that, I'm DONE with smokes". You and I both know how easy it is to go backwards, don't do it! ( do nascar cars have reverse?) Deep Breaths, play with your son, and be proud of your victory over smoking!
