Hi Tina,
The feelings your feeling right now are perfectly normal...

"oh my God what have I gotten myself into"[/quote]
That what have I gotten myself into kinda feeling starting out is definately scary, so stick around here, read, read, read and post, post, post...yell and scream if you have to...we have all been through it and will understand 100%. I like you and others here started out posting and preparing ourselves before our big "Quit" day, but know that it does pay off....this freedom from the ball n chain of smoking is the greatest.... Here's a post that was sent to me the day before my quit....
Tomorrow Remember,
Second by Second,
Minute by Minute,
Hour by Hour,
until the hours become days,
then the days become weeks,
weeks will become months and months will become years.
Here's the deal: Self talk and distraction, also real life.
Self talk, I think can make it through the next few minutes.
By the time those are over with, our minds are onto another subject.
Then we look again at the clock and OMG,,,,,, it's been 20 minutes, instead of the original 5 we were trying to make it through.
Then we have to do some chore,
Feed the dog, play with the dog, play with the children, start dinner....something....[size=1](this would be so much better with a cig....that is satan talking...remember that and don't let him get the better of you as he is going to try his best to)[/size]Then we are thinking OMG... .
After you kick the Nicodemon, you feel relief, your are back to minutes....Soon those minutes do add up to hours, the hours do add up to days...and with each passing day it does get easier....
I have had this on my fridge since day one...so it's always there for me..... :)
We are here for you....I'm really excited for you !!!!
