    Unfortunately, that was 15 years and almost 40 lbs ago... they'd all be going "ewwww!"

    Doesn't matter... I'm still cheering for you!

    I lit a candle tonight for each of you, sending hopes and strength to everyone going through this awful mess with me!

    best of luck to all of you!
    I haven't smoked in over two months now. It was tough at first, I had terrible cravings.
    I have been having acupuncture and acupressure though, and it has helped a huge amount.
    I don't crave cigarettes so much now. I do miss the habit. I miss the crutch of it.
    I have been mighty irritable and shorttempered. And my body is still reacting to being nicotine free.
    it's a tough decision, but a liberating one. I didn't think about being a non-smoker. I became fed up being a smoker, and decided that from the outside, looking at my lifestyle and my habits, didn't reflect who I wanted to be. It was a moment of low confidence, and I decided to change one thing I could physically, tangibly change. Each day was just a day, and gradually my ideas about cigarettes changed - I didn't want to smoke. I still accompany friends on cigarette breaks, I still accept that any minute I could be a smoker again, and I'm trying to become more healthy. Change of habit = change of outlook.
    hope some of this is some help. There's no point giving yourself a hard time about it. Yes you will want to smoke. But feel that want and accept it. Whinge about it if needs be, but let it wash around you and wear off.
    good luck xx

    If you're going to serve him dinner ala lap make sure its pasta with a lot of red sauce. Although my personal favorite was nachoes and cheese.

    LOL, oh my. Well he can still cheer us on, yes? He can sing the froggy song to us :)

    Laura, I am soooooooooooooooooooo not looking forward to hubby quitting. I do want him to for his own sake, and I am glad he is waiting for me to fully quit, as if we both were doing it, YIKES!!

    So far I had one today. I made another calendar. Today's goal ifs 4 ( I am so good to myself.. hee hee). Then next Sat. is my official quit day. With the meds you have to pick
    A Quit day. I am hoping to quit fully before then, but I knew today would not be the day as it's Mother-in-law day (every Sunday is ). May need to revise the calendar for today and raise it to 44. Where is my correction fluid??

    Just checking in today. Johnny is quite sick. I thought it was his weather changing yuckies that he gets, but has a fever of 102 F today, has gone down from last night.

    He is taking a nap right now, I have cracked and am having a smoke and trying to decide whether to take him to the ER.

    For curlybenswife, never stop smoking on the day you have already smoked. It's much easier to start the day nicoteine free. Well done for making the choice to stop.
  • Jan 14, 2007, 02:29 PM
    curlybenswife
    Thank you gran46 xxxxxx

    You Allheart are a naughty girl now what am I going to do with you
  • Jan 14, 2007, 02:53 PM
    Allheart
    Hee, You will do nothing!! Just fold your arms and shake your head, and will not light up!

    Now that could be a dance... "just fold your arms and shake your head...think we may have something there:"... hee hee.
