word of advice for those wanting to quit

I ran two miles on the treadmill today. I was so excited. I am planning a 10k in September. Exercise definitely helps.

Eya, on my millionth quit. Your post struck a chord with me. I quit for three years, then starting doing the sneaking. I have never had the guts to go cold turkey. I hop all is going well with you.

cold turkey!

I am sorry to hear about your father. My birth mother, ( I didn't meet her until much later in life) died of lung cancer at 65, so I keep thinking, you are not one of those lucky ones who can smoke until you are 85, so it is in the back of my mind. I know your dad's death will be in the back of your mind also. Hopefully, it will work to your favor this time. I know I use any excuse to give myself an excuse to smoke yet another week. One day under my belt. I need to string a few more together. Good for you for getting 7 days. I will look forward to posting next week that I have 7!

cold turkey!

Thanks for the encouragement. I have had a moody week, but am determined! My first weekend does scare me. In fact, I am walking out the door right now to have my Friday happy hour with my gang. We go to a place by the office and usually have a smoke on the way over. They are meeting me there so I am not tempted. My husband is picking me up early, so I don't fall into the trap of drinking and then just having one. Home to a nice game of scrabble. Wow, do I know how to have a good time! I am going to do it. I smiled when I saw your post, so the extra encouragement was very welcomed. I will check in on Monday, and I will just say NOPE this weekend. Have a great one.

BTW, Nope should have a 100 word bonus points in scrabble.

Eya, I am jealous that you have all the nictine out of your system. I can't wait to get there. My stomach is bothering me, and I don't know if it is the patch or not. I just want to be drug free. My plan is to stop wearing the patch on Saturday. I have Monday off of work, so I am thinking I should be in pretty good shape by Tuesday. I am afraid if I stop the patch during the week, my co-workers may suffer. I am going to follow the advice from others and drink lots of ice water and pretend like I am on the Biggest Loser Show and excercise all day. I wish I could go to the ranch and have Bob and Jillian yell at me for a week. But alas, i will gut it out on my own. We will see if I can walk on Tuesday!

PRT Versus NRT

It took me a while but I found your post! Whatever made you think of this? I looked on-line for a method to flush my system, but didn't find anything that I was willing to try. I think I am going to buy some prunes for this weekend. On second thought.......

I Hated this Site yesterday!

Eya, a Friday night date at the sugar shack sounds devine!!! You are really a strong person to overcome that temptation. My husband and I used to take country drives where we would have a drink and smoke and watch the sunset, so relaxing. I couldn't imagine ever doing it without cigs, but he quit, thank heaven, at that time I was quit also, and you know what we still enjoyed ourselves. Then I decided that I could just smoke on girls weekend. HA what a lie. Only when I wasn't in my home state. The casino happened to be right accross state line, seemed I found a way to go there more often, then it became full on smoking again.

NOPE is the only way to go. I have lied to myself so many times about smoking. My son used to say to me at least if you are going to lie, come up with a new lie. I ran out of lies and excuses this time, there ain't nothing left but the cold hard truth, to quit means NOPE.

Irrational Fear

Does anyone else have this irrational fear that it might already be too late? I worry that I already ruined my lungs, and they won't heal. I want to go to the doctor and get a chest x-ray, because usually it is too late when they find the cancer. Has anyone actually gone to their doctor and asked for an x-ray?
