Hi, After failing in my last attempt to quit, I have chosen today as my final quit day. So now, I get to go through this again! My husband and I went away for the weekend, so I thought, ok, after we get back, I'll try this again. During the weekend, I had stepped outside the motel room to have a smoke. I had smoked 3/4 of it and started to feel somewhat uncomfortable, like my body was turning to gel, so I went back inside, sat down, told my husband I didn't feel so good, as I broke out into a major sweat all over and got VERY weak to the point in needing to lie down. Very unusual for me to even sweat, especially when it literally rolls off my body. I am generally cold in nature. Don't know what the heck that was all about, but I was scared to smoke after that. Maybe that was my wake up call? Although scared, I still managed to smoke a few more (a true addict huh) and after we got home, smoked my last cigarette and crushed the remaining ones in water, as I told the demon, "No more! It's MY life and I am not going to continue letting you destroy me like this"! Then I said a prayer. So today is the day...(as I take a deep breath) I just want to get past this where it becomes nothing more than a vague memory. I'm sure I will be posting often. I have also ordered Allen Carr's book for more reinforcement. Here Goes!!!

...all thanks to Shevie's brilliant coin toss idea :) thanks Shevie. You were right, it wasn't really the coin that mattered, it was how I felt the second I realized the answer that truely mattered. And truth be told I was relieved that tomorrow won. So in that spirit I'm thinking now about how I feel about this last smoke. I'm scared mostly. I mean that deep down kind of scared, that in a dark house with a spooky noise, that "oh my God what have I gotten myself into" kind of scared. I also feel a bit excited. For the past few days I've felt like a kid sitting in the back seat asking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" grant it this is more like a trip to the dentist for a root canal than a trip to Disneyland for a roller coaster ride. Mostly I feel relieved that the first part is over. Tomorrow will be a new day. A smoke-free day. Wish me luck....you all, more than anyone else, know how much I will need it :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 0 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $0 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 0 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Its almost 11am, I've been up for about 6 hours. It's not too bad. Every once in awhile I feel like screaming and crying and stomping my feet...but it only lasts about 5 minutes then I feel close to normal again, that is until the next one hits :( My husband took all the cigareets with him and he won't be home till about 11pm, my car is in the shop so I can't drive anywhere to buy cigs, and the neartest store is over 3 miles...btw I drive to the mailbox and it's less than 1/2 a mile away, so trust me im not walking to the store (at least not yet lol) So it looks like I'm going to be smoke free for today whethere I like it or not. The kids had fun pulling the "Do not open til Auguast 1, 2006" stickers that i had put on all my stash. I even let them have a bite of licorice after breakfast. How often does mom quit smoking, right? Well ok this makes the second time...but its also the last one so we celebrated :) Lunch and nappy time.

I know how you feel about taking the decision and then being worried about it . You see it can be done I never thought I could quit let alone not smoke for over a month, it's doable one day at a time :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 33 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 508 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $132 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 11 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

You have 2.5 years non smoking as an adult behind you Tina, so you know you can do it! So you know what your will be going through, how it will be there. Therefore i am puzzled as to why you are scared? What are you scared of? If you quit for 2.5 years you know what is coming next? If it was that bad, thank god you are quitting for good now, and dont have to go through it all over again.

Hey Tina...just seeing how you are doing today on your first day of your quit. Stormy, good luck on your quit also and always remember (both of you that is) to always come here first for support if you are feeling that crave or whatever. Its easier to get help before it gets the better of you!!

Congratulations Tina. Whew that first day is something else. Getting started is the hardest part and you have already done that! Be proud of yourself. I remember every hour I made it through, I was totally amazed. I counted hours quit for the first 3 days. I kept saying...."I've made it xx hours, no way I'm starting over now". Keep your chin up. Ride the emotional rollercoaster. It's kind of like childbirth. You forget it eventually. LOL (my kids are 7 and 8 years apart) But I promise it doesn't take that long. You are doing an awesome job! Yell if you need us. That is what we are here for.
