rhona,, it's a great idea to watch a DVD with your little one -- But you may also consider taking the little one out for a walk! The fresh air and the walking will do you a world of good :) I walk everyday as often as possible. It's a great stress reliever plus it's a great cardio work out !

Rhona - Glad to hear you're feeling better! I have had some very similar days along the way - it can be really really tough. When people say "it get's better...it get's easier" - it helps but it doesn't totally sink in/convince us. But, I'm going to say it anyway - it truly does ease up and get better! Now be careful - don't you go self-sabotaging your quit - too much of watching the Wiggles could drive anyone to smoke! ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/24/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 33 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,170 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $214.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 29 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

The emotions were the worse part of quitting for me. Hang in there. Keep your chin up. Cry when you need to and smile when you can. It will all pass. Whatever you do just don't smoke.

Rhona, If quitting smoking was easy we would not have our online support group. We thank you for posting your concerns. I totally agree with you, you are so angry, irritable and down right friggin mad! Your body is not liking the change you have made, therefore, it is playing games on you. As for your little boy, yes, get out those Wiggles DVD'a and get silly. If you feel irritable with your little one leave the room, take a big breath and then return. Jump back on the site later on today. If your little one naps then go ahead and do the same! Hang in there and stay strong :). Congrats on quitting!
