Hi TX... Well if you're not quitting for the 'right reasons' there won't be a successful Quit (but then I have a feeling you already know that...) When you get serious about Quitting, this is definitely the place to come for support and love... Until then - take good care.

TexasT, Welcome. Sounds like you have an idea of what to expect. Check out the Quit Program Tools on the left side of the screen when you get a chance. It really is good stuff. You can easily change your reasons for smoking and you've already invested almost a day - so why not create some new reasons. The smell, your health, money, feeling proud of yourself, having more time (for studying). There will always be more reasons to quit than there will be to remain a smoker. Your memory just needs some jogging! Plus, once you make it through this first week - it could be the very LAST time you'll have to do it again ;) Hang in there, Sandra [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/5/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 651 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 13,032 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2929.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 48 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 46

TX, When you first quit or cut down, you may find it difficult to sleep as long as you used to. Two things can cause this are: As a smoker your sleep may have been interrupted by constant coughing and/or difficulty breathing. When you stop smoking, your body gets healthier and the sleep you get is more restful. So if you wake up suddenly at 5:00 a.m., you may think you are a victim of insomnia. You're probably not! Your body has probably had all the sleep it needs. Smoking drains your body's energy. When you quit smoking you regain this energy. You may need fewer hours of sleep. How long will this last? The first few weeks after quitting. Tips to help: Try making sure you have a regular sleeping schedule. If you wake up in the middle of the night do some light stretches, or read a book to help you get to sleep. If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. It�s possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable. Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
