hey everyone, today i havent smoked and last night i didn't and for the past 4 days i havent and there are lots of things out there ...stressor's and i have thought of a million reasons to justify smoking even one....but i haven't and i'm still sitting here in my robe and pj's and haven't done one thing productive....and that's alright and when the rational to allow myself to have one came calling i went into my email and found my password and came here to relax and get some comfort from everyone who have quit and know how special they are and how special we all are for trying or we wouldnt be trying to change our life styles. so i wish if you could give a great big group hug ...well i could use one...right now

Here come lots of hugs back at you.  It sounds to me like you are doing the Quit the right way for you.  I spent hours on the computer in the beginning and wouldn't allow any stressors in.  Next thing to do is to change your vocabulary.  Quit "trying" and just "do it".

You are doing it!  One day at a time.  Sometimes you have to get dirty to get the job done.  You keep working your quit and everyday you will see it will get easier.  Hang in there!

*BIG HUG* The way I see it, productivity is overrated right at this point. Nobody needs to cure cancer while they quit smoking lol, quitting is enough all by itself. You CAN do this!

Hang in there, I find that I can lose myself for hours reading these blogs and surfing the net for information about smoking, quitting smoking, and as a result of heading into my 4th day how to quit smoking and not gain weight. Don't sweat it, this is the most important thing you will do today. It'll ease up. I know, I've done this before and I can tell you I don't want to do it again. Your brain definitely adjusts during this time, but it will pass. You're doing great and if the worst thing that happens today is that you don't get out of your pj's -- the sky won't fall. And at least they won't smell like smoke.

Hi Liz, you are doing a great big job; you're quitting smoking!!!! The first few weeks I totally maintained at work but just read and lay on my bed when I was home. Be kind to yourself. Things will get lots easier and better!
