Today is day 60 for me. I can't believe how far I've come. I am so happy to see all of you quitters in the group giving it your all to try and kick the habit of nicotine. I am also happy to see more members have joined us in the group. I love hearing how all of your quits are going and if you need any encouraging words.
Like I say all the time you can do anything you put your mind to. I am living proof. After 22 years of being a smoker I had enough. Here I am 2 months later and my body is healing itself nicely.
Kay: Yes, stress can be a kicker when it comes to not smoking. I've learned that when stress occurs to physically say out loud, to your brain that it is not getting another cigarette so you better figure out another way to handle the stress. I've found when those kind of triggers occur I go outside like I was going to have a cigarette and take deep breaths with your new lungs. Think about how good it feels to be smoke free and tell your brain so.
