Alice, congratulations on 30 smoke free days! I always that temporary inconvenience yields HUGE permanent improvements. And look how true it is for you! Running almost every day, so much energy! Yeah, lack of sleep, anxiety, sadness, etc. are all little ways the Queen of Hearts tried to pull you back. But you told her that she no longer controls your life. That you are willing to take what she throws at you, knowing that anything in life worth having is worth fighting for! And you are winning the fight! Please be sure to find a wonderful reward to celebrate this milestone! Here's to the next 30 smoke free days, and beyond!

HAPPY DANCE!!!! I am so proud of you and you are indeed blessed with wonderful writing skills. I think most of us have felt exactly the way you described it. So now "run" and get yourself a nice reward, you earned it.

Keep the Quit

The very best Alice. Be proud and build on what you've done one day at a time or five minutes at a time if need be. You're 30 times awesome. Perhaps a reward is in order. breather

I am sooooo proud of you, Little Miss Alice, you have come along way and not all of it was easy, but you came thru it like a trooper...

Wishing you many many more months of smoke free happiness.

I just envy you so, I wish I would have quit smoking at your age.

Today, I have been quit for 30 days

This past weekend (including Friday) I spent cooped up in a small cubile at the University writing research papers and despartely trying to find time to work on my thesis (the reason I am in Ontario in the first place)

. After suffering from intense cabin fever, I noticed something: my concentration had returned! I have long been awaiting its return (30 days) and was so preoccupied that I had not noticed its much welcomed return. But there it was flipping through text books, absorbing, synthesizing, analyzing, and, at last (trumpet sound), spitting out coherent sentences. I was starting to get scared that it would never return and that 'smoking' was the only medium to which Concentration and me could be reunited. I win again Nicodemon

I have also thankfully experienced more energy lately. I have gone for 28 runs in the past 30 days. Each run was for a different purpose: exercise, maintaining weight, fresh air, combatting stress, reuniting with running shoes, healing lungs, controlling anger, running away from life, running towards life, etc, etc. I would have to say that running has provided the greatest replacement so far in this quit regardless of the reason that ultimately compelled me out the door and onto the pavement.

Unfortunately, my 30 day quit has not always been painted with rainbows and sunshine

It has also been filled with moments of stress, misery, sadness, anger, dullness, emptiness, as well as restless sleeps, stomach aches, headaches, nausea, and self-doubt. But what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger I guess.

Thanks for the suppport everyone. It has helped immensely and has provided me one step closer to Wonderland (freedom) and conquering the Queen of Hearts (nicodemon).
