Good for you jtobin! Getting through a weekend is a tough job. You absolutely have more time on weekends, which makes it that much more of a challenge. I remember feeling so bored. I didn't want to clean, walk, relax, etc.. There was nothing I wanted to do. But I came here. All of a sudden, several hours passed. And then it was time to prepare dinner and such. You'll find your place. Each and every time you tackle a trigger makes it that much easier the next time. Keep doing things, but NEVER let your guard down. It does get easier with time and practice! Hang in there. You are doing a great job! ;) 4my2girls [b][i][color=Maroon]What Consumes Your Thoughts Controls Your Life[/b][/i][/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 232 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,974 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $758.64 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

jtobin, I agree - you truly do need a reward and they are very important, especially these first couple of months. A nasty, flaming death stick isn't such a good choice though. Every day will bring a new challenge and I know that my first month I was all over the place physically and mentally. Let yourself dwell on the benefits you've seen already - better breathing, better taste, and you have already NOT smoked 234 cigarettes! That is awesome. Did you ever think you could make it 23 Days? I only wanted to beat my last quit of 9 days and woops, look what happened. One cigarette, one hour, one day at a time. Stay close and know that there are good days out there too.

jtobin, You have got a great attitude - especially after those first 3 weeks! I firmly believe it is that attitude and willingness to hang on that make a successful quitter. Congrats on your 21 Days, and thanks for sharing the positive side of this quit business. Have you been rewarding yourself?
