Sunday has arrived and still no smokes consumed!! It was weird last night - we had friends over and had a couple of drinks, played some guitar and pool - a perfect situation to start smoking again. But.....neither hubby or I even had a craving for one. What's with that? I know the patch is helping with this, but I think this was our first night that we didn't even think about having one. :confuse: Way cool!

Kathy, you probably worked through your hardest weekend! Way to go! It will only get easier from here. And shopping is a great idea. Buy something nice for yourself. :)

Thanks everyone, I made it through with your support. I mangled the cigarellos and the stogies don't actually tempt me any. :) Anyway, it's Sunday, another day, and I think I'll go shopping!

Kathy,
Don't forget your coping strategies. Distract yourself as best you can and find a pleasurable activity or reward for persevering!

Hi Jazz and Kathy:
Just checking in. Sorry it is such a rough weekend for you Kathy, but we are half way through and you are hanging in there. Good for you. Would your husband consider storing those smokes somewhere else until the worst is over for you. I think that if I had that temptation so near, I would have caved already. You are obviously stronger than I am.

Hi Jazz,
I'm so glad to see someone else around this time of day on a Saturday! This has been my hardest day so far and if you have a look at the other forums you'll see how I've been dealing with the last couple of killer hours. I am determined to make it through today but those old stale cigarello's in the desk and the Cohiba's my husband bought last year in DR are calling, no screaming, my name! You don't know how helpful it is to vent and know that there are people out there listening.

How are my fellow January quitters hanging in? 4:30 Sat afternoon and still smoke-free! Had a few really close moments last night when I was tempted to bum a smoke from a friend, but we made it through - YIPEE :)
