I think they still have the "site being ugraded, come back in a few hours" message up. I was able to get to your page. The next time you want to log on (until this glitch is fixed), type in https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/sandra9
into your browser window and that should bring you to your page. From there, go to the "Blog" tab and that should take you to a place where you can log in. DO NOT use the main tab at this point, as you will get the upgrade message. Hope that helps.
Funny enough...I thought day 3 was worse than day 1. the cravings finally got a lil easier to deal with. I dont want to go back thru the withdrawls or the cravings, more than I want a cig. so I suppose thats a good sign. How long have you quit?
Sandra, I had an out of control appetite during the first few months of my quit. I made a conscious decision that I was not going to worry about weight gain until I felt comfortable in my smoking quit. That was scary for me because for a long time I felt like I couldn't stop eating, and I had allowed that feeling to cause me to relapse several times. What also made the difference this time for me was the support this site gave me AND the education I received from the members and at whyquit.com. Once I realized that I could no longer use ANY form of nicotine because I am an addict, I was able to quit cold turkey -- something that for some reason I had been afraid to do, although that was how I had the longest quits. I got over my fears and just choose not to go back to smoking -- it took me too long to work up the courage to quit this time. On Wednesday, I will have 1 year smoke free, and it feels wonderful. End of PSA, now back to our regularly scheduled program, LOL

Kiki, you are right---day 2 and 3 were the worst. I have been quit since Sept 11....bad day anyway, right? I quit using the patches and just started step 3 today. My husband quit at the same time and he is doing much better than I am. Sometimes I think I am just destined to smoke. Is that crazy???? How could I enjoy something so much that it is killing me????
Eatin' and going to the gym sounds pretty darn good for day 6. Me? I just wanted to break something on Day 6. That might have been the day I smashed my poor salad spinner. I can't remember, but I know it deserved it!
Sandra you should be turning a corner and not have as many cravings soon. This new site has me craving and nothing else stressful has .,.. I found out how addicted I was to this page. Feels like giving up cigs all over again when I though the page would not be user friendly but I think it will be ok when we all get use to it and they fix the problems. Hang tough sorry your temper is up .. smashing things is not good 😉

Sandra, I was one angry lady when I first quit. What I did was find an old empty box and a baseball bat and I hit and kicked the he*# out it. When that box was finished I went to the grocery store and got more and this really helped me get through the angry sruff. My family was glad I used the box instead of them. This new site will work out too. We just have ot get used to it.
Love Nancy
