Beargurlie, first, welcome to the SSC and Congratulations on 2 days smoke free! I like your way of thinking, never quit quitting! So here is what I recommend. Go through "my program" so you are 110% prepared for this quit. Preparation is key to success! And when you get stressed, you want to have a mechanism in place to so you don't give into the craving! Drink lots of iced water. It helps with the craving and it flushes the toxins out of your system! Add your quit meter to your postings from "my profile" so you can see your numbers add up. This was a HUGE motivation to me! I smoked for 20 years, 2 packs a day. Read, read, and read some more! Use the search feature to look up topics like "the patch" and other topics that affect your quit. Make sure you have a reward plan in place to celebrate each passed craving (small reward), each smoke free day (medium reward) and each smoke free week (larger reward). Eat healthy foods, take a walk every day. And somebody recently suggested that we take the time to smell the roses. And since today is day 2 of not smoking, the roses are going to smell wonderful for you! Post as often as you need, if only to vent. We're all rooting for your success!
