[font=tahoma][color=purple]Hello Carrie!!
I just sent a post to a new quitter just a few minutes ago - and honestly, it would suit you as well. Instead of repeating my thoughts, I will just quote it for you..
[quote]First of all, I want to congratulate you on making it through your first weekend as a non-smoker! What a wonderful choice you have made, and it looks wonderful on you!
I must tell you, the cravings will begin to slow down and will be easier to deal with before you know it.
Just remember, a craving WILL pass in a minute or two, but you have to make sure you let it pass and don't let it grab a hold of you. When you feel it coming, push yourself away from whatever you are doing that minute and start taking deep breaths. Breath in through your nose for 5 seconds, then purse your lips, close your eyes and breath out through your mouth for 5 seconds. IT WILL HELP! It shocked me at how much it helped with me, but it does!
You know the nicodemon is lurking around you waiting for the moment for you to cave - but you make him waste his time - Don't cave!
Don't pass of what you are doing as anything but wonderful! It is a great challenge and you will be much stronger when it is over. Control your life and choices - don't let nicodemon control it for you.
It will get easier as time goes by, and you can do this, we all have faith in you! When you hit a rough patch and you feel like you can't take it anymore - jump on here and put "HELP" in a post. Everyone here is going through, or has gone through what you are, and we are all here to support you. This is a wonderful site and never be afraid to use it!!
Be sure to mark your quit meter in your posts so that all can rave on how well you are doing, because you are doing great![/quote]
Don't give up!
