Greenette, Have someone pick up some hard candy for you. Some red hots and lemon heads and sunflower seeds.. get a few of them and carry them around in a paper sack.. when you get an urge.. eat some.. they will keep you busy and help you get through the first 2 days.. day 3 is easier.. for me it has been. This is your new life.. you are going to be a different, healthier, better you.. you will even be able to run and swim and even play tennis (that is if you played before otherwise you will have to learn how..lol). I sat down and imagined myself in the future, spending the extra money.. not feeling like everyone can smell smoke on me.. not having to go out in the cold for cigarettes.. being able tobreathing deeply and even blow up balloons.. list goes on.. telling my doctor.. "I did it.. I quit.. yes.. I am great huh ?" Be positive.. eat some candy !!! No limit (you will burn out on the candy in a few days and you will be further into your success !!)

Boy - do I know how you feel. I want one so bad, that I am - that close to buying a pack. But I won't. I started chewing on a commit, and bit so hard that it gave me hiccups. Deep breaths and chant to myself "this will pass, this will pass".

Thanks Redrosie. I like blondette, thats cute. I'm still hanging in. Just had a rough moment, but here I am, telling you guys & it helps a great deal.This site seems to help the most. My daughter has all these stickers on the computer for me. 1 says, "you can do it keep going, boo smokes. Another "Pray for strength", last one "Too much money = poor". LOL.Makes me laugh. She's so cute. Ok thought i would share that to all of you.

Hi Kate, Now thats a good one, kick nics butt. LOL!! I like that. Funny it is. Thanks for making me laugh. Today I'm just starting my third day. Yes i want a smoke, but not going to right now.You know, i don't know if it's my imagination or what, but the last 2 nights , I've slept so good, never woke up once. I think its because I'm not smoking, or just purely exhausted from fighting the urges. Nic is very hard to fight. So far I'm winning.So there!!!! Thanks for the encouragement.Ciao!!

Ok i am soooooooo close to having a smoke, i can't take it anymore. I want a smoke, but yet i don't.Does that make any sense? I feel so miserable. I enjoyed my smokes, but i know that i shouldn't have one if i want to stay smoke free.I want to be a non smoker, but yet i want one. Oh I'm nuts.I can't seem to get it off my mind. I am trying to think positve, but its not working. Right now, i have a color on my head. I think if i didn't have that, i would be in my car getting smokes. But then again, i don't want to spend the money on them. Ok, i am nuts. I just read what i wrote & it makes no sense.. HELP!!!!!
