Hello All -- Day One

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 6

Thanks BeckyLyn -- A few tough days (hours more like it), but each day is easier overall. I was overjoyed to realize yesterday that I worked a whole shift without thinking about smoking!

I need to keep my eye on the prize and make sure I don't get lazy in my commitment.

I have been quit for 1 Week, 1 Day, 12 hours, 34 minutes and 23 seconds (8 days). I have saved $75.51 by not smoking 213 cigarettes. I have saved 17 hours and 45 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 6/19/2008 12:37 AM

Hi, Lori and welcome to the site... congratulations on deciding to quit and the smart decision you made in choosing this site for support! Are you using some kind of NRT? Or, is this a cold turkey quit? Either way, you stay strong and focused on your quit. Drink lots of iced water and divert yourself by going for a brisk walk outside or taking a bath or some thing that you normally like to do for relaxation... do lots of deep breathing and some stretching exercises (low impact aerobics - or what we used to call calisthenics?)

Call out for help and wait for 10 replies in here... Put the word "Help" in your title on a new thread... You can start your own thread by clicking on "Start New Discussion" button at the head of the page...

Outdoor exercises are a great idea for avoidance and overall health!

Who takes their activities outside?
