Doing it....
Today is my first day smoke free. It was supposed to be yesterday. I didn't do so hot. I think I had 6 by the time the day was over. However.... today.... I am totally doing it. It is now 2:30 and I haven't had one yet. Why??? BECAUSE I FRIGGEN ROCK!!! Well.... today I do anyway. Funny thing is, I think I will still be able to do the weight thing and the smoking thing. I haven't had the hand to mouth urge AT ALL today. This is going to be nice. Oh so nice. Will update tonight and see what has happened by then. I am determined. I am.

I'm so glad that you are a non-smoker now. Congrats and KUDOS to you.
Well done!
I just figured out you had a blog! You are now added to my favorites!
I smoked for ten years. I hated that I smoked but I loved to smoke. I quit with my first pregnancy (I could quit for someone elses health, but not my own) but then started back up after he was born. When I got pregnant with number two I stopped again and knew that he would be my last baby so had to stop for good - or I would continue to smoke the rest of my life.
Quitting smoking was hard, but so worth it. No more morning cough. No more having to find time to sneak a smoke in. No more disappointed looks from my husband and thoughts from myself. More money in the bank!
Hang in there - you CAN do this - and you will be so proud of yourself! Jacque
Thanks for all of the words of encouragement! I am going to need it more as the days wear on.
Jacque~ I know what you mean about loving to smoke but hating it. Such a catch 22. If it wasn't so bad for a person, and if I wasn't watching my Grandma go through Chemo for lung cancer, which has also turned to brain cancer, I would be a smoker for LIFE. I quit with all three of my pregnancies and then it was like as soon as I got home from the hospital and reality started to set in, that cigarette was my reward for.... well... whatever I had to endure that day. But, it is time. I have to learn something from Grandma's getting sick, other than just how to learn to make every moment count and how to say goodbye. I WILL DO THIS. And... how sweet are you to encourage ME when YOU are the one enduring Hell??? It is I that should be sending the good vibes your way. So.... no more bitching from me (at least I hope....) I am adding you to my list of inspiration.
Mel~ Thank you for once again being my strength and voice of reason. You and Stacey are the two that have made me realize that I CAN do this and that it's really what I DO want. PLEASE keep it up!! I need it. I really do. Thanks again for just being YOU. There is no greater feeling in the world than having family also being friends. Life is good....
Must go get Kleenex now!! ~HUGS~
Hey there. Thinking of you today. And how hard this week will be for you. Call me today if you are thinking of smoking. I'll listen to you - and support you.
I blogged a little this AM about addiction and my thoughts. You are really on my mind.
So have a great day. Keep your hands busy and your mind busier.
You are never going to smoke another cigarette...ever. And that is miraculous.
