:) First of all, congratulations. You ARE doing it and are setting a great example for those 3 precious girls! What a great gift to give to yourself and your family. That is so admirable! Keep lots of distractions around (sounds like you have 3 distractions built-in!) and lots of coping devices---lollipops; sunflower seeds, water, word-searches/crosswords; music; stress balls.....etc.... You will be fine. Keeping a positive attitude is utmost!

bj, hold on. I know exactly what you are feeling and it is pure hell. That junk talking is awful but you will get though this. Like the others said Breath in and Breath out so on and so on. Drink water, pick up the baby and hold her. Sing songs to the girls. play with them. I am going to tell you this only because I know what you are feeling. Do not leave the house at all tonight. Reason you will find a reason to smoke. How do I know this, because of what you wrote. That is exactly how I lost some of my quits. Hold on and we will be here for you.
