Hi Lauren :)
I'm on my second smoke free day and feel really good! What helped me was just the fact that cigs had never fully satisfied my expectation for feeling good. It was a matter of addiction not pleasure!
This quotation might help: " ...each cigarette causing rather than relieving the empty, insecure felling and automatically ensuring the need for the next"
Best wishes and lots of good luck, mitri

Dear Beaglelvr, I would love to use the SSC Instant Messenger but apparently it doesn't run with Mackintosh computers! What a pity. Mitri

Hi everybody! Your messages sound really great! I would follow your advises each by each. I feel being fully supported by all of you and am mostly thankful for your help. Good luck, miti
Hi Freemom! Congratulations. I�m a newcomer and am going to quit the day after tomorrow. My last attempt to quit took a few months. With a puff here and there I ended up being a closet smoker. Being a closet smoker, I think, would work if only you don�t consider yourself an occasional, if not a none, smoker. Which is, I�m afraid, the case of the majority of closet smokers! So dear Freemom go ahead. You�re not only going to be a smoke-free, but also a cheat-free one! Good luck, mitri
I�ve been through a slight flue, with a bad cough. Thinking of quitting, I came across the 'Stop Smoking Centre' site. I was kind of afraid so had my first day of quitting been shifted to the coming Sunday. I�ve been smoking not more than 3-6 cigarettes per day, yet my dependency on cigarettes is quite high. I�m keeping my fingers crossed while preparing myself for my big day, Sunday, February 4th!
Thanks Simba, ;) congratulations to you, too! You're doing great.
My problem seems to be one of many nicotine withdrawal symptoms anyway. Unless .....
I might check it out with my physician if it persist, before long.

Hello everybody, I�m on my 4th smoke-free day and feel quite happy with it. I have totally lost any desire for smoking; it came naturally with no cling to will power, or substitutions of any kind. Instead I�ve problems with breathing; most of the time I feel like having oxygen insufficiency. It persists even when I try some deep breathing exercise. It�s rather painful and prevents me from doing things properly.
Maybe you guys could tell me why this is happening and how I should deal with it. Is it physiological or is it neurotic? .... and am I going to have it for long?
Thank you for your support, mitri

Dear Todash
Your post is extraordinary. For sure you look much better by now, a better skin, shining eyes, etc. :)
Re. your weight gaining why don't you follow Allen Carr's book, �Easyweigh To Lose Weight�. I read his Easy Way to Stop Smoking and found it indispensable for my quitting.
Hope you enjoy your smoke free days as well as your regained precious emotions. mitri
