Hey LOving 11 is wonderful! I cant be of to much help. Today,only my 6th has probably so far been my worse craving day. I kept reading the first three was the worse. So i thought the worse was over. But i think i still have the worse to come yet :(. Hang in there! This is so gonna be worth it when we post on here a year from now.....right? Oh and the weight....it really worries me too. I'm not one to excerise,I am on my feet all day. So when i get home i just want to relax. Just so much to give isnt it/ Well maybe try to get out and do something to get your mind off it. I keep just shaking my head and trying to make it think about something else. LOL Mind games.....whatever works right. You have done great.....just great!

Thanks to all of you .. I come here and express myself I have no one else to do this with really... I have no family here..I often get really emotional when or if I talk to my family about my success thus far... my daughter she is proud of me .. now i'm trying to get her to stop smoking again alsobut i know she will do it in her own time..so i come here and let out my frustrations along with my anger.. and it helps me .. to keep goimg strong .. i don't understand to much about what is going on .. figuring it should be over and done with .. but than again i do understand and know it is and will always be a fight and it will involve determination.. i pray that as time goes on that i get stronger and stronger .. and craving will sho nuff be a thing that was... Today I worked on my book I think or I'm looking into maybe doing and e-book .. don't know i have to do some more research .. however it will keep me busy for a while .. the temps are so high .. i really more than likely won't be going out.. i am going to set up my disc to do my exercise in house.. and that is that.. Again thanks to you all .. just taking this one moment.. hour..day.. at a time .. thanks P.Loving [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/3/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 11 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 356 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $43.45 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 50

Loving, hang in there it will get better, don't worry too much about the weight, concentrate on your quit, one thing at a time, I know it's hard to accept when we put on a little weight but don't try to be super woman . Quitting smoking demands a lot of energy from your body so give it all the attention and later on you can take care of the weight problem . This is my humble opinion :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 32 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 480 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $128 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Loving, I am having a hard quit too, but we will both make it. I have alot of people praying for me and so do you. Think about what Christ went though on the cross, and this suffering does not seem so bad. He went through all that so that we could be forgiven for our sins and so that we could get the healing we need from this addiction. "by his stripes we are healed" Love, Mama [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/18/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 26 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,078 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $148.2 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 23

Loving, We are always here to listen. Congratulations on 12 days, your almost through hell & heck week! Continue to reward yourself for resisting cravings. Additional comfort measures like a long bath, a nap, a walk, ordering in your favorite take-out may also be helpful to get you through the day. Maybe starting a journal would be helpful? You would be able to see the daily progress you are making and would give you an additional outlet for all those conflicting emotions. Danielle ___________________________ The SSC Support Team

PS: I also joined Curves yesterday to help me start a new addiction to fill the void of not smoking. Find your 'center' Loving and push those bad thoughts out of your mind. Do not let the nicodemon control you. I hate being controlled by anything and that is exactly what smoking was doing to me. It controlled me. My mom smoked when she was pregos w/ me; she smoked when I was an infant; she smoked during my childhood and well into my teenage yrs. All of my life there was 2nd hand smoke from her. She smoked 2 - 3 packs per day. I picked up my 1st smoke at the age of 16. So if you look at it, I have been smoking literally for all of my life. I will be 39 in Sept. I do not know what it is like to be smoke free but for a few weeks in April---a few weeks in March...and now a few weeks in June / July. Nico-demon cannot and *will not* ever control me *again*. I was like you back in March and April. Ask anyone here. I was a basketcase. I failed. BUT I am back--stronger than ever and I am proving I can quit and I am doing it. Follow my advice Loving. Grab the cd and the book--it will help you fill that void. Take that stand Loving and choose your weapon. Slay the nico-demon before it slays you.
