My name is Sam.. Hello

'Morning and thanks again for the warm welcome! Yes yesterday was good :) I ran into a problem this morning and posted under cravings. I took the patch off about an hour before going to bed and I woke up this morning at 2 a.m. with a horrible craving! :8o: I received some good responses and now I will keep the patch on and test the waters for bad dreams or other sleep disturbances. It's all a wait and see thing with the patch I guess. So needless to say with getting up so early, took care of the craving and then got out early for a brisk walk :) Have a great smoke free Sunday all !

major crave woke me up!

Yes Josie, a lot of great advice :) Well I'm all set for tonight re the patch - leaving it on and see what happens. I'm sure everything will be fine, I just got a little spooked about the sleep disturbances. But when I think about it everyone reacts differently so hopefully all will go well. You've all be wonderful offering up encouraging words and advice... Thanks again! :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/23/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 15 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $5.44 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 44

GOOD ! I thought it was a primal yell of one sort or another :eg: I'm doing ok.. Just tired from being up so early this morning, but otherwise keeping busy, distracted and pretty much burying myself in everything and anything to stop thinking about a cig ! So far my methods are working out well :) Well you and I are about the same when it comes to the yells, screams etc. I thought I heard something from far far away..LOL ! Keep well friend..

major crave woke me up!

OH Ex :) So kind of you.. thank you ! When I get online I will be sure to come to this thread and let you know how tonight goes. I'm feeling confident and positive that all will go better tonight with the patch on while I sleep. *crossing my fingers and toes* LOL! So you're 6 hrs ahead of me you think.. I'm usually online, my normal time between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. All set to watch some t.v., not think..hehe.. and just zone out - snacks and water right beside me :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/23/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 20 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $7.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 54 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54

major crave woke me up!

When I saw Mister Ed's wonderful list of quitter's I had asked to be added to the list and apparently in the database there was already a 'Sam' so he is listing me as 'Sam2007' and I changed over. Actually I quite like the '2007' added on :) Just letting you know .. it's still me ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]6/23/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 20 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $7.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 56 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28

My name is Sam.. Hello

Thank you, thank you, thank you :) I'm feeling so overwhelmed with all of the responses to every posting I make here at this site ! This site will clearly be the place to be, whether it's to share a bad moment/day or something happy and fun ! Thanks Lamplighter - I'm most certainly taking this non smoking journey ONE DAY AT A TIME ! I'm in no rush.. taking the craves and working with my coping tools to get through them and making sure I get lots of exercise, drinking lots of water and overall just knowing that this is THE best thing I've done just for me in a very long time. I also found out from Mister Ed that there's already a 'Sam' in the database so he added '2007' to my nickname and I really like it.. so now I'm Sam2007 ;) Enjoy your evenings .......... Peace to all !
