Hi Kate, Isnt it funny how we thought we were relaxing by having a cigarette. I dont ever really remember feeling relaxed having one lol. Tomorrow is a new day, you have inspired me to go for a walk tonight when i get home from work. Im tired of moping around the house on my own feeling sorry for myself. I may even start swimming or something. I hope you have a better day at work tomorrow :) PrincessC :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 16 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 369 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $163.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 52

turned out really bad at work!! I mean REALLY bad..however i went home,took a nap,walked the dog and during my [i]boring-want a cig[/i] moment before to get ready and go out i was just lying on the bed RELAAAAXING... it was hot and i didn't want to do anything more. Yes,i can relax now because i always remember when i wanted to relax i thought,ok,let's have one cig now and in ten mins you'll be resting.. but this stressfull,fast cig was just making my rest disappear! Thank you guys.... have a good day all of you....

I was never relaxed as a smoker. I didn't know how to relax. I'd always tell people that I was the type of person that always had to be doing something. What a bunch of junkie thinking talk that was! It was not that I always had to be doing something ... it was that I was a smoker. I didn't have time to relax. Being a smoker is truly exhausting. I'm so glad I don't smoke anymore and it's hard to believe that I ever did. *kicks back and props feet up* Learning how to relax is a wonderful new 'skill' for me. I'm getting better at it every day! ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 76 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,298 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $304 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 38 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

Great job for resisting! Your mind set is positive and that goes a long way in a quit!

Well kate, It may have been a bad day at work, but it was a good day for you because you handled it without smoking! Another victory for the non smoking memories.
