Well Tresa I thank you for taking the time to check in on me .. and YES ! 3 more days and I'll have a whole week smoke free :) I do have to admit that I can't wrap my mind around anything past the day I'm in.. I kind of get a little weirded out when I do that so I just stay in the moment/day I'm in.. But, on the other hand I did think about that this morning while I was eating breakfast ;) You have WONDERFUL stats .. You're an incredible inspiration to a newbie such as myself and I feel quite fortunate to have someone like you offering up so much motivation and support !

Good morning Tresa :) Thank you so much for your concern about me.. ;) I actually posted about the heaviness in my chest when I woke up today - Like I'd smoked 2 packs in a short period of time. It was a little unnerving but now it's passed. I do see this journey as something celebratory, a new me, a fork in the road and I'm choosing that smoking is not an option for me .. EVER ! The encouragement I'm receiving here is beyond my wildest dreams.. It's certainly motivating me to get through the next moment, the next day :) Btw Tresa - I LOVE YOUR OCCUPATION ! LOL ! And your stats are truly fantastic ! Have a super day and thanks again for checking in on me.

Thanks Lynne and Unhooked :) Yes Unhooked Ex is looking after me like a mother to her cub.. sooooooooo sweet :) Today had moments of high anxiety and I am so proud of myself with the way I was able to cope with it and I didn't even think once that smoking was an option ! Isn't that the coolest?! I've NEVER been through a really stressful/anxiety ridden day/ moment without grabbing a smoke and TODAY I DID IT WITHOUT ONE ! Now I'm just plain tired .. I am going to throw in a dvd - The Devil Wore Prada and surround myself with lots of cut up veggies, homemade low cal dip and ice water. Goodnight all and have a good evening ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/23/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 60 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $21.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5

Thank you Lamplighter and Tresa for your moral support ! Yes, I'm doing it.. WOO HOO ! I'm making sure that I have my coping tools close by and I just keep telling myself that when I feel a crave, or get a little confused (this confusion seems to come often) that I am BETTER than that nicodemon and that I AM in TOTAL control :) It really helps me get through the rough spots. Plus as I've said over and over again, just taking it one moment one day at a time. I've been keeping very busy indoors with a variety of hobbies and light cooking. I have a void of time here right now and that's when I come here to express my feelings.. and the real PLUS is when someone/or other's responds to my posts and gives me support and advice ! Thanks again.. off I go to make a nice cold ice tea ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/23/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 3 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 60 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $21.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48
