Day 3

Good news! I didn't kill anyone yesterday and I didn't kick my dogs. Still not smoking but not too pleasant to be around. Life is good.
hey, day three was the toughest for me, its a real milestone, you make it through the day and your making awesome progress, you probaby dont even realize how much better you are allready..today is three weeks for me, and i still want one but not nearly as badly as i have in the last three weeks, and not nearly as often,
you go, girl!

i'm proud of ya, kat!

This completely sucks and I can't do it. I am pathetic when it comes to quitting smoking. Maybe I should get hooked on pills again and quit everything at once. (just kidding. wouldn't go back there for all the cigs in Chicago) I need to be locked up for a month or two so I can't get to them (cigs not pills) I am soooo sad.
just dont pick up no matter what, no matter what, smoking will not make it better, 72 hours is the magic mark, it begins to get better,. just make it through today,,,,,,you can do this.
(((((KAT)))))

you'll do it when it's time - not before.

love ya!

I had one (found a half pack in my freezer) but gave them away so I am smokefree once again. Maybe I need hypnosis or acupuncture or a lobotomy? The one I had tasted terrible. I wish I could remember that. How can you want something and not want something at the same time? Gee, you think I 'm an addict or sumthin????
so does that mean your done now,,no more , no more , no more. just dont smoke, really, the only way not to return to active addiction is to not smoke the next ciggarete,,does this ring any bells...

for me, gum or lozenges worked sooooo much better than the patches.

i'll tell ya why:

when you get a craving you have to unwrap them - pop them from their little package. then you put them in your mouth. that's the same ritual you go through with da ciggies. and, just like the cigs, you instantly get your drug - nicotine.

voila! you're still getting your ritual and your drug - just a different delivery system.

worked for me.

I have patches. I have gum for breakthru craves. I WOULD have lozenges but they are icky. Do you think I might have a problem with nicotine?
Once again I am learning that the best answer to the craves is step 2. Imagine that!
