the 80 hours of being smoke free and the pull to smoke before even getting out of bed was super strong this morning. My day is full with baseball games, shopping and going out to dinner but I'm afraid it won't be enough. I just did my pledge so I'm hoping I will be stronger than NIC because I don't want to smoke again.

Sighing it good. It's a way of inhaling fresh air and getting more oxygen into our lungs.

Yes, Dian, smoking does cross my mind now and again. But every day I'm away from my smoking self those thoughts fade farther and farther into the background. Every once in a while I'll still have a craving, especially after a meal (that was always the hardest for me), but it's so paltry in comparison to what it was in the beginning, it lasts usually less than a minute. But because I still do have a craving now and then I ALWAYS have to keep my guard up. There is no relaxing of the guard. It's just something I have to live with.

Live with the craving, yep, that's how I've always started back up again......... giving into a craving and then smoking again....... this time I won't because I know I will start and I don't want to smoke again EVER......

Yea, I remember how stinky is all was when I quit but it didn't stop me from starting again. I want this quit to last forever..... now when I ask people I know to quit, I hear all the lame excuses I use to use....... no laughing matter but I know when they are ready, I'll be there to help...... thanks

My bosses' husband came in today, she told me he quit about 3 wks ago...... man, talk about a stinker and I could smell it even as a smoker........ but today he didn't stink at all...... said he's saving about $40 a week...... wow, that's a lot of money... I'm glad I never smoked that much. He's using the patch and since I'm doing it cold turkey, I didn't say anything except whatever works........ the guy's about 67-68 and has had lots and lots of heart problems so I'm glad he finally quit.
