    Wow BD other than the stuff not related to smoking not going quite to plan sounds like you're definitely on the up curve. Congrats :)
    Thanks so much for all the kind words over these days. You have no idea how much it has helped!

    I wish I would have thought about doing this earlier or would have joined some support group. It is so much easier when you have someone or a forum to talk through this.

    No one in my family smokes so they do not get why it is so hard to stop! I guess that is why there are support groups out there for addiction. Maybe because it was so socially acceptable when I started I never considered it a social thing. Now you are an outcast.

    Thanks to you and all of those who came on here to show support. I sould start a supporter list in the first post. I think I will today.

    k, no...we don't need that.


    Cravings are so frequent early on... Made it thru a full day, tho. Wasnt tooooo bad.
    I wonder how many smug people are reading this going, "damn, glad I never started, these people sound like junkies".
    I hate you, smug person.

    deep breath.
    I'm ok. honest.

    off to bed to chain smoke in my dreams...(or prob hack all night...gotta love the coughing when your lungs start clearing up and healing)


    ((thanks SEN :) ))

    Well today is interesting and good.

    Could not get to sleep until 3 AM last night. I have been drinking a lot more caffeine and the patch is feeling like a stimulant too. Forgot to set my alarm and woke up an hour late. Traffic was insane this morning. Took 45 minutes to drive 5 miles. Almost ran out of gas and I will be an hour late to work on a day where some important numbers were released.

    Sounds terrible and a lot worse stress than my first day.

    Did not even think about smoking! Been sucking on sugar free mints and laughing to Howard Stern.

    I am thrilled! This is getting better. My chest feels a little lighter, I don't smell and I am less antsy.

    Going to cut down (not off) the caf and am not dreading the night out tonight.

    How is everyone doing including our new Rhino friend.

    nice work Black D!!!!
    p.s its jen's fault you were up so late :D

    I'm glad I never knew how to inhale as a kid.

    Best of luck guys!
    Well Drowned Out maybe going through what I did on day 1, but on day 3 I can honestly say thanks so much for the support! I wish I didn't inhale either. Kinda like Bill Clinton.

    I am so sorry you had a terrible night! Trust me I have started and stopped quitting a thousand times and when you break it makes you feel awful.

    I hope you are willing to give it another shot. Some people joined last night so there is no schedule to this. I hope you are not pissed that myself and hopefully others are going to continue to do this. I need to for myself and my family. This is the first time I know I can.

    I hope you are ok! :)

    Feeling great. No urges except for pretzels. Jobs a bit hectic and not getting stressed.

    How are our Day 2's or 1's doing. I hope you are having an easy time.

    Oy vey!

    So back on target. Going out and seeing the smokers (my former friends) gave me a twinge. But smoke smells awful. Moved on and got sandwich and walked back another way.

    It sucks to be me, when hubby gets home he doesn't think twice about lighting up :( , and first thing in the morning too :eek: .. Next week is going to really suck he's on vacation :( .

    Do you have your own space? I am sorry that you are not getting the appropriate help in your home life.
    Feel free to vent all you want here. This is a smoke free zone. :Fresh air:

    damn, somebody deserves to be cut off! pretty brutal that he's not supporting your efforts. I can't talk tho, the last time I quit for a year +, it was my ex wife that encouraged me to start again.

    BD - damn, I had the same morning as you. woke up a full hour late after being at least 15 min late the previous two days. Had a 9:00 meeting on the far side of town and had to get to my office before I went....

    Not feeling too bad today. Only one small coffee today too (usually pound 3-4 travel mugs). Having a chicken caesar and water for lunch. Hockey starts tonight, and we're moving into a new office, with a gym, in two weeks....I'm going to be the picture of good health. I'm going to be the picture of good health. I'm going to be the picture of good health. I'm going to be the picture of good health.

    That is awesome!! I used to have a gym in the office. With the current economic conditions, they closed it down. I think it saved some jobs so I was all for it! Joining a gym is what I am going to do with part of my savings!

    Has anyone actually phyically put the money aside? I have $20 already in with another $10 tonight. On my way to paying for a 1/4 of a tank of gas.
