Sweet Ann, Go for a walk and smell everything you see. Show your husband that you don't need help from him, you can do this alone. You are doing great so far. I didn't have any help at all. All my friends and co-workers smoke and they didn't want to hear that I stopped smoking. That made me mad enough to show them that I didn't need help. And I still show them that I CAN do it. Now they say that they are jealous, but now it's too late for them.....lol. I'm happy to be a non-smoker. Keep strong Ann, you can do it girl. Big Dutch hug for you. Fini :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 86 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,152 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �253.7 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

Hello Ann, Was just thinking about you, I dont think I will have time to read loads of posts tonight, am so tired, I havent been sleeping too well lately. SO I will ask how you are doing on this thread. How are you feeling today? Is it better today? I am worried the amount of power that you are giving that cigarette. I am worried how precious that you are making it. Have you tried writing a goodbye letter? I know that you smoked really heavily for a long time like me, so I know how hard it is. It is only a bit easier for me right now, because i quit so many times this last year, that I think I am prepared for it now, and sick of going back to day one.. (it takes me ages to give up again every time I do that, and I am SO SICK of smoking). I actually dont miss it at all. I went shopping today bought a new dress for a summer ball that I am going to in 2 weeks, its going to be great, staying in a hotel. How are things going with you? You hit 3 weeks didnt you? WAHOO WELL DONE!!! :) YOU are doing SO WELL.... keep going I promise it DOES get better you cant throw away 3 weeks... One bit of advice - try reading Allen Carr Easyway to give up smoking.I really think that it would help you. You will see the cigarette for what it really is.. it changes the mental thinking about smoking. Hope you doing better today, Just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you!

Stick with it Ann, you are coming up to 3 weeks... it can be a tough one, but dont let it slip. Remember tomorrow is another day. Dont slip for today. I have to to go to work, hopefully you will feel better later, try to use things that you did earlier in your quit, breathing, water etc... You got through that, you can get through this. it will get better!

Haha Mama, I LOVE your attitude. Your post really made me laugh. I have 2 teenage daughters who think that the other word for mother is slave.. I kind of have the same attitude as you about it. I am finding housework and boring things like that hard, as I am so used to smoking breaks. I did come on here for post breaks instead, but it was quiet yesterday, so I had to eat skinny cow ice cream and have those breaks instead.. :)

Phew I am glad to hear from you! Also glad to hear that you are no longer smoking. Ann if you can try to get hold of the Allen Carr Easyway to stop smoking book. it deals with our mental thoughts and I think that is what gets a hold of you. It really does help. Glad to hear you are better today [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 17 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 428 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �127.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27
