I am so glad you joined us! How are you feeling today? Through 2 days and it must give you a MAJOR sense of accomplishment. Has your husband realized you are serious yet? I am sure once he accepts it will be easier for you.
Hey
Yeah, it was only 9pm when I posted that....
Feeling good, as I said the cravings haven't waned or increased...well, I guess they do get hard when hubby goes outside for a smoke, but it's not too bad...And yes, I do feel very stoked to have gotten through the first coupla days, this being the third day, it seems things will just cruise nicely from here (I hope!)
Tonight is my weekly "girls night" and both my friends smoke heavily, so will see how I go, there is NO WAY i'll have a smoke - it'll just be really hard :(
And, as of hubby, he hadn't said A WORD since i'd stopped smoking, the whole first day he KNEW I was trying to quit and didn't say a thing to me. I pressed him about it last night and kinda said, you know, i'm doing really well and you haven't said anything, pick your game up. And I got a nice little note this morning telling me that i'm doing well, so that's something
Feeling a bit shitty today. Had to read through my Dad's eulogy for his sister and we are trying to pick songs for the funeral on Friday. Got word that they harvested her organs early Monday morning. Blergh.
Atleast i'm not quitting drinking. That seems to have accelerated

Off to temple for some new year praying (got some prayers all set for the tryers) and switching to Step II
I feel great and it sounds like Y24 has a lot of support overnight! DJ and Chime you guys are fantastic!! Not really supposed to be posting but I had to check in!

Wow! That is great about you husband and I am amazed you are doing this without the help of something! You are a very strong person! Are you out yet with friends, if not good luck.
BTW, my drinking has gone up a lot, maybe for cigs and stress at work. Weight has also gone up. When I am free and clear for awhile I will go back and clean up my minor issues.
I have betrayed all of you, but most of all myself.
I am a fraud and have wasted three days for nothing.
I shouldnt have gone to my friends house :(:(
I'll try again from scratch tomorrow.....
Im sorry :(
Aww hun...don't beat yourself up! I read something similar about dieting: if you slip up and have a cookie, you have two choices: either continue to pig out and eat more cookies OR realize your slip up and get back on track!
It sounds like you are going to do the latter. Big [HUUUUUUGGGGSSS] to you. We are all here to support and help you xx
Thanks so much Jen...I will try again...:) Youre a star!
Arent BD and all the rest clever little cookies...a MONTH!!!
This deserves a toast *raises invisible glass of prefered beverage*

Hey don't be so hard on yourself. You managed three days ... you know you want to carry on ... you can start again
You can be disappointed but you are trying this cold turkey, and after the loss of someone very special to you. What you acheived was great and when you start again tomorrow you start knowing three days is possible.
No one is here to judge but to help.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again

So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

I basically work for myself and currently trying to do about 3 hrs a night study after work. It gets a little sterile sitting in the office that long studying so I go to a nice quiet pub for the last hour and suck down a few coldies......good motivator
I went off of the patch yesterday and today, just to see how it felt and the only difference I found in being on the patch and being off is a HUGE increase in my appetite. I literally have consumed double the amount of food I usually do over the last two days. This is good because I am attempting to gain weight, but I'm going to go back on the patch tomorrow, I feel like I'm in dangerous territory when it's not on. Anyway just checkin' in, hope everyones doing well.

Yes, yes you did
Everyone falls off. I fell off. You just get right back on.
***starts warming knuckles***
Three days is at least a start mate. Yeah if you knew you were that vulnerable then maybe shouldn't have gone.
Back on the horse young lady...you've got the right attitude
