Hi Everyone,
I blogged earlier, but didn't put it down as an emergency. I'm panicking badly. I have been trying all morning to shake this overwhelming feelings. I know I don't want to smoke. And I Know I won't. I just feel...well I don't know what I feel, but it's not good. Could use some encouragement and words of wisdom. Thanks!

Get busy! Go for a walk! Brisk! Arms a-swinging! Maybe sing out loud as you go! or.........
Slow, deep breaths! Breathe in - fill your chest cavity, including your back lungs, and your "tummy;" breathe slowly out, starting with your bronchial area, then your back chest, then your lungs, finally gently squeeze that air our of your tummy. Do it AGAIN!
Change your mind's direction. Play a computer game. Go to the store and buy a jigsaw puzzle book, or an adult coloring book and markers. Start in on one of them.
DO NOT argue with yourself about smoking. You already made your decision you will not smoke NO MATTER WHAT...this is WHAT!
Remember the first few days? You KNOW you don't want to start over. And, remember, it's NOT an option.
Just don't smoke - you will be so disappointed in yourself if you do!
This WILL pass; you just need to get through it.
