Congrats on your decision to quit! You can do it. And when you think you can't, push that thought out of your head and remind yourself that YES YOU CAN!

I have the patch on. My husband has his patch on. I don't feel too bad yet. I've only been up for 4 hr. I am just going to think positive. I do think it is going to be a long day. It is raining here and cold. One of those days you would like to just set in the recliner and read a good book. Wish me luck. I will check in this afternoon.

Ann, You need no luck, just determination! The fact that you have found the SSC will be a great help to you both. Visit this place regularly as you stay with your quit. It's a bumpy ride at times, but well worth the journey!

Hi Ann & her hubby! [b][color=Maroon]Congratulations on your quit!![/b][/color] What a great decision you both have made! My hubby and I quit together as well. It really was not as bad as most people, me included, thought it would be. We were not at eachothers throats. We never picked a fight with eachother. Etc, Etc... I wish both of you well! Luck has nothing to do with it! This is your choice, and yours alone. You are choosing not to smoke. My advice: take one craving at a time. Thats it. Do not look beyond that, for now. Drink [b][color=Teal]TONS[/color][/b] of water. Suck on hard candies. Eat licorice. Go for lots of walks. And take it easy the next few days! Get plenty of rest. Take naps if you want. Pamper yourselves right now. Be gentle and kind. You will make it!! ;)4my2girls [b][font=Tahoma]What Consumes Your Thoughts Controls Your Life [/b][/font] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 74 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,233 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $241.98 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53
