You guys always have great advice! And congrats to Jags on your 365!! I can't wait to get there. Deep down I know I will never smoke again. But sometimes I worry that I may get weak and give in at some point that's when I look at my little girl and I tell myself I can not teach her to smoke. So I hope I can make it threw that third week, I belive I can with help from all of you! Thank you for the warning Ladybugg!

I just want to had to what Ladybugg has already said.... Quitting isn't easy but we all do it one day at a time. Don't look at it as quitting forever. I know at this (blah) stage of my quit, forever was too big of a concept for me to grasp. Try to clear your schedule as much as possible and allow time to be good to yourself. Every now and then it's ok to take a break from reality and be a little selfish. Participate in relaxing activities i.e. bubble bath, movies.... Quitting is the greatest thing you can ever do for yourself. It may really suck right now but know that it gets so much better. The freedom of being smoke free is worth every single second of agony you are going through right now. I Promise! :) Post if you need us. We are here to help you.

This post is for all these new quitters we have. By now you've heard about hell week and heck week (most of you have lived through them already :gasp: ). You may have heard about blah week, too. But I thought now might be a good time to talk about it a little more. Once we get through the rough first couple of weeks, some of us hit a short period of antipathy to the quit. We might 'lose interest' in it. Or start questioning whether the agony is worth it. I lost my first quit last year at three weeks. I was simply tired of fighting the cravings/urges to smoke. It's important to sit down about this time and really reflect on why you quit and what you have learned about yourself so far. What has worked for you...and what hasn't? What are your triggers? It's important to not let yourself get complacent about the quit. More than anything right now....[i]remember that you made the decision to quit smoking while you were in your right mind![/i] While you're going through withdrawals and just plain trying to cope, you will lose the ability to reason. You cannot think well to debate the issue. So anytime your addiction is trying to convince you to light up, to have 'just one'... simply respond that [i]you already made your decision to not smoke[/i]. Keep it going...
