Last night

Oh .... my ... lastnight was awful! I was cranky, irritable, sad, discouraged, focused, hungry, moody, tired and miserable .... but through it all I remained smoke free. The experience was awful but the outcome of the process made me stronger. I am crying a lot and i can't sleep but I am exhausted. I have dark circles under my eyes and feel like I just came off of some hard street drug not nicotine. But lets not lose focus - I did it!

I am sure my husband is seeking new housing until I am through this ... I definatley snapped at him lastnight and I was not pleasant this morning. I couldn't blame him, I don't even want to hang out with me right now!!! I feel like I am walking through hot coles but the prize is worth the pain.

Hey Mindy!
Good job getting through the rollercoaster yesterday!
You can do this and you will be SO happy. Just remember , every nasty craving is just more of that nasty nicotine leaving your body.

Hang in there!

Hey Mindy! It might be good for your husband to look at some posts here, so he can see that what you are going through is totally normal and to be expected. The first three days are usually the hardest, but it will get better! Try to stay as positive as you can knowing that what you are feeling right now is actually a good thing -- toxins are leaving your body -- that's awesome!! If you have time, you may want to check out www.quitsmokingonline.com

Believe it or not, you are going to be laughing about this in the future. What you're going through right now; keep it fresh in your mind the craziness you went through so you don't go back to it. You are definitely not alone in your struggle and you will get through this.
