Penquin, you and me, we're in this together and we WILL make it up to the top of this quit mountain, come hell or high water, WE WILL. Come hold my hand, we will, I promise, we will climb together. Will you join me? I happen to know that penguins CAN fly. We will fly off the top of this quit mountain and soar through the skies, free and clean and happy that we did it. Come on, let's go. We CAN and we WILL.

I fully agree with Rusty's remark "Mindfulness and breath awareness are two very powerful tools"! :-) Breathing slowly. For each breath, in & out, do it slowly .... Mindfully note and enjoy the feelings & sensations as the air coming in and out of your body ... Very relaxing and soothing, my friends! :) Cheers, nmc [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 95 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 958 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $475 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Penguin, I'm FINALLY climbing out of the pit myself!!!! I feel good this morning. And like you, I'm trying not to concentrate on NOT smoking so much. What you say makes sense, why think about, I don't smoke, I'm not going to smoke. There, problem taken care of! Well, I'm trying anyway. Have a good one, Cheers, Jan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/13/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 34 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,030 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $306 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 42 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

Penguin, I'm not an expert on anything but maybe with the sleeping trouble you should see your doctor. A lot of people do go through anxiety when they quit smoking. I've had trouble sleeping since quitting and its not to do with breathing, just can't seem to shut off my brain. I found the nights that I didn't sleep made it harder to deal with the quit too since I was more miserable. I've stayed quit but why not possibly make it easier on yourself if the doc can help? Congratulations on your quit, i love this little place you've created for yourself!

Penguin, Lady is right you are definately not abusing this site. This is what we are here for. Remember that we are human and not perfect and if you don't succeed try try again....which is sounds like you are going to do! Congratulations on choosing a new quit date.
