Good morning everyone

Good morning everyone! Time sprang forward last night and I'm just getting up. I'm still not sleeping really good but getting better. Tomorrow is my stop day I like start living day 🙂 A friend is going to take me to get a few things I need some for my kit thanks to reading whay ya'll have shared on blogs etc. I'm keeping my attitude positive I don't expect easy in fact I'm trying not to have any expectations just taking this 1 breath at a time 1 clean breath at a time. Still my biggest trigger I'm concerned with is right here at the computer if I have to chew and a stick I'll do it! Wish you all a beautiful day.

Good morning! I am with you, my quit day is Wednesday. What is the kit you mentioned?

Gerber I've followed everything here on the becomeanex.org site the kit is everything I am to use when triggers hit. I've identified them which for me is basically all the time so I'm going on the patch. Read read read and read more on here, do what it says and ask for help. By nature I am a very quiet person but you know what that never worked for me before I live alone with my dogs I never told family/friends when I was going to try to quit I have this time. Oh there is also a beautiful letter on here I'm going to find again and hand write to my daught best friend and maybe myself. Friend The Elder's on here look at my friends list many if not all are Elder's they have quit! So can we!! Stay close and lets stay in touch. Lets follow the path of the one's who have gone before us!! Quitting will give me my life back that I know.

PERFECT, you are reaching out to people who are following you and sharing what is helping you.  One of the people on here kept lemons around and when a particularly strong crave hit, she would bite into the lemon, rind and all.  Just THINKING about that blew my craves away.  She posted a picture of a lemon with numerous bite marks and that was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I am not sure if Gerber is following this thread...I usually try to comment on a person's message board or the person's blog.  YOU get notified that someone has commented on your blog but the commenter does not get notified that you commented back...does that make any sense?   

I am really excited for you, I think you have a wonderful quittitude!

Blessings this morning,

I want to wish you luck on your first 24 hours.They say that is the worse but you know, I did fine.You will to.I was feeling like I was going to loose my best frind before I quit and this really scared me to death.I know there are worse days to come has to be.I am on the 21 mg patch & I must say it has been a big help to me eases the cravings..I have been very tired and sleepy. I read it is part of the withdrawl I think it said.I am in a wheelchair so I can't be active.I bought some vitamin C drops as we do need  extra vitamin C.Drink a lot of water.I bought the Kroger brand patch and it is wroking just fine for me.I love your great attitude mine was far from being very good as my heart wanted to quit but my head didn't want to give it up.I have to quit for surgery or I will never take another step at some point.I am now happy I have given it my best.I want to wish you the best of luck and I will be thinking of you.Marijean
