Hi again, I kept myself busy outdoors after the rain stopped and the sun came out. I got a lot of yard work done. It's around 8pm now and things are starting to quiet down, I am only worried about having a meltdown before the day ends. I am going to watch "Desperate Housewives" and then "Sisters & Brothers" and then go to bed. Everytime I had a craving today, I was able to talk myself out of it and stayed very busy. Keep your fingers crossed, I know I can get through the remainder of the evening "smoke-free".

Jean, you are looking great, too! See if you can embrace that foggy feeling for what it really is--your body healing and recovering from nicotine. Give yourself a few days to get over it, and then you will be in really fabulous shape! I stopped using the patch after 4 days, dropping from the 21 to 0, and I was glad I did. I think we all fear the dreaded "cold turkey", but my experience (twice, I'm afraid), is that it isn't really that much worse than using an aid. Best of all, once the withdrawal is done and the system is clear, you won't have to go through it again to adjust to getting off the aids. Just stay strong, and you will come through this with flying colors!

[color=Purple]Deep breaths taken, two long walks, cooked dinner, watching the Jay's WIN and things are finally calming down :p Wow ... what a day, but it is getting better. Lou thanks again for 'covering' for me.. and thanks Danielle for that pep talk and for 'editing' my screw ups.. SOOO appreciate that ! I try to keep up with the Ashkickers - such a wonderful group of April Quitters and everyone, whether they have one day or one month under their belts deserves the recognition ! I now know what a major stimulant nicotine has and when it's lessened substantially you get weird -- HEALTHIER, but kinda weird ;p as well as confused as hell :confuse: Ki your stats are looking oh soooo fine ! Good for you girl :) sistermt - it's your 1st day .. be gentle on yourself. Do a lot of reading here and post whenever you need someone. There's always a member to come-a-running to your rescue, just give it some time :) And as other's have already done - WELCOME ! The more the merrier.. We're all here for one another - Such a wonderful group of non smokers! Grandma - way to go ! Cold turkey :) Keep us updated with your progress on that ! Even though I said I wasn't coming back today I just HAD to .. Needed to see what's happening here at my 2nd home ..lol... but it's true. See you all later.. and take good care !
