Part I of Day Two

[ddockery]

This morning I sit here in front of the computer and usually have a cigarette in my hand. This morning I have yet to have a cigarette. The ex plan says to limit the time in between your light ups to release the "glue"...It has officially been one hour with a cigarette and I am crying. I am wanting to light up so bad, but afraid if I do...I will be concidered a failure. I have work today and I am greatful for the release. In my work-place I have so much to do that cigarettes are always very far in my mind. So once I get to work, I will not even be thinking of a cigarette...that is until my lunch break....So, as I gather up my things and head into work, I will try my hardest to control my shakes...and my tears...and focus on the animals that need my attention. Today I my goal is to go through lunch without the need to light up! We will see how it goes. Keep you posted.

Support is the greatest accomplishment

Just wanted to tell you that you will get through lunch without smoking. It will be hard to do, but you will be so happy for yourself that you have control and not the cigarette for once. Have a good day and we will be here for you anytime that you need us. Take care,   Kathy

Early withdrawl can be mean. I know that it feels like if you don't smoke something terrible will happen to you. I promise you that is not true. Think of your cravings as the enemy. Fight with them talk to them & let them know who's boss. They can be sneaky, they will try to lie to you. They will tell you that you will feel better if you just have one. Use this site. The people hear will help you slay the dragon. Stay strong.

if you are to become a non-smoker! there will be many mornings at the computer without a cigarette. it makes sense right? that "glue" is more than the actual smoking. it 90% of your thinking about smoking.

hang in there!!

It helped me to think of cigs as the enemy.  I refused to be controlled by a piece of paper wrapped around dried leaves.  Everyone is different, but getting mad at the inanimate object (not myself for smoking for so long) helped.  After all, I have a brain and that cylinder doesn't, so I refused to let it control me.

It's really not the cigarettes that are hard to stop, I find it's the habit that is so hard to break!  It's true, you just have to do things differently for awhile and before you know it you don't even think about it anymore.  I am going to try again and again if need be and one of these days I hope I will be smoke free again.  Good luck WE can do it!!! - Krissy

Hang in there, you can do it!  I just reached 48 hours and it's a struggle but one worth fighting for and winning.  I just keep telling myself that I'm going to reward myself by not smoking and if I feel the urge, and I've had some strong one's this morning I just tell myself the urge will pass, and it does, it may take a while but it does pass.  Hang in there and know that you're not alone.  At lunch time can you get on a computer and come here for support instead of what you use to do?  I hope so because there's alot of support here and there are people that understand and can support you.
