Jan58.... That nicodemon is evil, he lurks when we least expect him. I know you can do it... you are a couple more days into your quit than I am. You've already gone back to the basics (technique that is). Just ride out those cravings, remember anything is better than smoking. Do what you must to keep from it. I'm here rooting for you! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 13 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 202 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $45.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

Hi Jan ...it's 8:16 p.m. here. Just checking in to see how you are doing. You are one strong, gutsy lady. You really made me think when you said "500 cigarettes not smoked" Isn't that phenomenal??!! You are so smart to go back to basics and ride this one through. Take care of yourself...we luv ya!

Free anvils from Canada for all those wishing to conquer the Nicodemon...and if that doesn't work...my cat will knock him dead with his breath!! By the way....we get our new kitten on Sunday....any suggestions for names? I'm not into "cutesy" names but she is just so dang cute!

Morning everyone. Boy have these past 2 days been a struggle and a half. I've been bowled over with more thoughts of smoking than ever before. Again, back to basics, keeping it simple, water, straws,gum, deep breathing. And lots and lots of comfort and being good to myself. I will not stray too far from this site today, and again I am determined to win this battle!!! Temporary, temporary....I really do know that. Just wanted to vent. Glad you're there everyone!!!!

You are so right, Carpenter. We will beat this addiction one day at a time, one moment at a time! The cravings do get fewer and fewer. The trick is to ride them out. And it CAN be done, especially with all the help and support right here. So here's to a great smoke free day!

Thanks everyone, you have all been wonderful. These past few days have truly been a MAJOR battle of wills. Nicodemon vs. me. And yes I've been depressed, angry, frustrated and just plain miserable!!!! Thank God for you guys. This nicodemon...he will NOT win. Smoking will solve nothing except to make me feel pretty darn bad about myself. Yeah I feel miserable and all right now, but at least I'm PROUD to say I haven't smoked in 16 days and haven't inhaled the toxic smoke and fumes from 500 plus cigarettes. I'll be just fine. Cheers and God Bless!
