Congratulations KMarie... It gets easier as you go along, as I'm sure you know. Just hang in there and drink plenty of water and take life as it goes along ;o) Have you tried mediation, when you have stronger cravings? It worked wonders for me. I'd remind myself that the usual craving lasts less than 5 minutes, and I'd do a simple breathing meditation. It'd also work beautifully with the morning exercise! You've done a wonderful thing, in quitting... Give yourself a pat on the back :o) Peace, Jackey [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/22/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 422 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,452 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1763.96 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 58 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42
