Mary - glad to see you! I think that it is good news that you still reach for your cigs and you have to remind yourself that you don't smoke. That tells me that you are not "obsessing" or "romantizing" about not smoking. You are having to "remind" yourself that you quit. Does that make sense??? Just keep going Mary. That day will come. You already have 40 days under your belt. Obviously you can live without smoking! Give yourself a pat on the back and I will give you a (((hug))).

Hi Mary,
Glad to hear from you. It is tough for a while. You didn't become a smoker overnight and it won't go away over night but it will go away. 40 days is awsome. The dealing with life as a non-smoker is hard to get a grip on. Find something to replace it. I suggest deep breathing. It's free, You can do it good and it is always there. Breath in relaxation breath out stress. It is better than smoking.And Mary it will get better. I was just like you but I know now I am better. I no longer feel the need to smoke to be normal.Not smoking is the normal you know.

Hi All
Sorry i havn't been around much. I have been busy painting the rooms in my house. I never notice how that brown crap seen to be everywhere.
YUCK. Anyway i am still hanging in there. Been having alot of bad days though. Wanting a cig. I just wish it would go anyway and stay there. Tonite i said to my Grandaughter. I feel like having a smoke, & i don't smoke. She just kinda laughed. Last night coming home from town. when i got in the house i was going to take my cigs out of my coat. Like i did for years. Then it dawned on me. I don't know if i am losing it or what.
Anyway this is what's going on with me. Welcome to any newbies we mite have. Hope to be posting more soon
Mary
